A Tichborne case on small scale is
reported from Butler county. Pa. Thirty
years ago Emily Ward left her home. and,
rs nothing was ever heard of her, the
family concluded shat she must be dead
Not long ago Il woman appeared to the
jewellers on the old homestead. claiming
to be the long lost Emily. The family
were overjoyed, and accepted her without
question. But AS the weeks passed and
old times came to be more talked over, the
newcomer manifested so much ignorance
about events and associations of EmiIy's
youth, and told such conflicting stories,
that suspicion was aroused and she was
finally turned off as an impostor. The
youngest brother. however. remained con-
vinced of her identity, and has helped her
bring SUIT for her share of the estate,
which recent oil discoveries have made
worth three hundred thousand dollars.
The trial occurred last week, and exposed
the adventures completely; she proved to
be New York woman, while the mystery
Of the long lost sister WAS ut last cleared
up by the discovery that she died in a
Pennsylvania town soon after leaving
home in 1858.
