Sir Broderick HartWell's
Daughter Cannot Be
Found.
A LARGE FORTUNE AWAITS HER.
She Came to This Country with
Her Uncle Eighteen Years Ago.

"a case shrouded in considerable mys-
terry and involving daughter of mem
ber of the English aristocracy, has just
come to light in this city.
Randolph, Condict & Black, the law.
yers in the Fuller Building, some time
ago received communication from Lee
& Pemberton, solicitors of Lincoln's Inn
Fields, London, requesting them tc en-
deavor to ascertain the whereabouts OF
Broderick Hartwell. The girl left Eng
land about 1871, and of whom nothing has
been heard by her relations in London
since her disappearance.
A letter, however, was received shortly
after her departure, which demonstrated
very clearly that Miss Nina had come TO
America, and was then living in New
York.
The English solicitors were extremely
reticent in reference to the case and gave
Messrs. Randolph, Condict q Black only
such information as would be of use to
them in prosecuting then search for the
missing woman.
FORTUNE IN TRUST.
Sir Broderick was the beneficiary Of q
large amount of property and money
which was held in trust, and which was
death.
He had four children, the Oldest of
whom was Nina Jeanetta- She was said
to be young woman OF beauty and many
accomplishments. At her fathers house,
in England, lived Sydney Holton Hart
well. Sir Broderick's young brother, who
was n fine looking man and favorite
with the ladies.
About 1871, when Nina Jeanette was
about nineteen years old, she and her
uncle Sydney, left her fathers residence
and came to this country. They had not
been gone long before the following letter
was received at Sir Broderick's home:-
DEAR SIR:-I write to apprise you Of the death
of Sydney Holten Hartwell, who died September
Z, 1871, in New York Before his death he begged
that you should hear Of his death as pos
sible, SO take the earliest opportunity to write
to you. remain your obedient servant,
September ., 1871, New York, = No. 0AInlty
IN NINA's CHIRoGRAPHY.
The peculiar feature of this letter was
that it was written in the handwriting
of Nina Jeanetta. Her relatives III
Miss Nina's conduct and took no steps to
acquaint themselves with her where
abouts and so all traces of her were lost.
Sir BrodericK died short time ago and
the time came to distribute the money
which had been in trust for him among
MS CQltufeH.
As Nina jeanette is entitled to share
of the property it cannot be distributed
until she is produced or satisfactory proof
of her death is forthcoming.
1t was for this purpose that the English
solicitors communicated with MessrS.
Randolph, Condict & Black. These gem
tlemen have instituted search for the
missing woman, but have thus far met
with no success.
NO RECORD OF sYDNRY's DEATH.
A search of the records of the New
York Health Board shows that no such
person as Sydney Holton Hartwen died
IN that city at any time near that given
in the letter signed o. p Arnold.
They arc now on the track of former
owner of the house, No. 0 Amity street,
which is now West Fourth street, and
they expect to obtain some valuable in
formation from Them.
There is a.vague impression about that
the uncle and niece went from New York
to Australia
