C. W. SCOFIELD A BANKRUPT.
Charles W. Scofield, living at No. 151 West Twenty-third-st., at one time a well known Wall Street operator, has filed a petition in bankruptcy, with liabilities are in judgments, fourteen in number, which were obtained against him from 1880 to 1888. Among the creditors are the Tredegar Iron Company, of Richmond, Va., $25,000; F. F. Thompson, $18,493; Houland & Aspinwall, $11,206; Adrian S. Iselin, $9,748; S. M. Giddings, $7,553; G. W. Nidal, $8,662, and R. H. Waims, $4,956. Mr. Scofield made an assignment on June 15, 1880, but nothing was realized from the assets. The schedules of that assignment showed liabilities of $2,300,000.
