Wealthiest Man in To>vn Gives Up
Fortune to Be Left Alone by Family
New York, Oct. 4.—Bent from
years of toil; a little man in baggy
clothes busied himself about the
grocery store of Benjamin Shapiro,
Brooklyn, yesterday and insisted he
was setting his feet on the road to
happiness.
He is Edward W. Washburn, own
er of seven ice houses in Brock
ton, Mass., and reputed to be the
town’s wealthiest citizen, yet who
said he had given up his fortune t#
his family to start out anew in life
on a $20 a week job.
My children treated me like a
dog,” he said. “I stood it as long- as
I could and then I left them. I’ll
never go back, no matter what hap
pens. it
Washburn has been missing from
his home several days and a general
alarm had been sent out by the
Brockton police. A search was
made for his body in the belief
he might have committed suicide,
as members of his family reported
had said he meant to “end it all. a
Recognized by Engineer. .
The man deuied this. He said his
son, Harold, accompanied
to the train after he had
for his family to receive a
income from his busi
ness and told him in parting he be
lieved he was a doing the right
thing. M Washburn lived at the Sal
vation Army hotel, the Bowery,
since Tuesday of last week, in a
room for which he paid 40 cents a
night.
He was recognized there by Pat
Callahan, night engineer, early
yesterday, when he could not sleep
and wandered into the basement
for a smoke. Callahan formerly
lived in Brockton and knew Wash
burn as a substantial business man.
The fengineer notified police after
Washburn showed him newspaper
clippings telling of the search for
him. Brockton police were com
municated with and sent word that
Washburn’s older sons said they
didn’t care whether their father ever
came home.
Seeks To Be Left in ePace.
u There,” exclaimed the ice dealer,
bitterly, “I told you how it would
be. ,,
He insisted he was able to take
care of himself, satisfied the police
he had some ready cash and a job
and meant to break no law. He
was released < and went to work in
the Brooklyn grocery. He asserted
he had no intention of making an
other fortune, but only wanted to
make enough to live on and be left
in peace by the family he has been
unable to control.
Washburn said his two older sons,
Leroy, 35, and Alfred, 34, not only
mistreated him, but did not speak
to each’ other. % complained that
in his otfn home he was not permit
ted to eat with the family, but
sat at a small table by himself.
