LONDON, February EN- conse-
ouence of the many letters lately re-
ceived from the q nited States in regsrd
to sending money to William Moore as
agent in London to prosecute claims to
property in England, the United States
legation in this city with the aid Of po-
lice has investigated and established the
fact that Moore is swindler with a
New York connection styled THE En-
ropean Claims Agency"
The officials at the legation say cred
ulous people will avoid disappointment
and save money by having nothing TO
do with persons advertising as agents
having lists of unclaimed estates, the
family names OF persons entitled TO such
estates, and who procure the publica-
ton in American newspapers OF seusa-
tIonal kilograms regarding English es-
tates or money in the Bank OF England
awaiting claimants. Such publications
are all fraudulent. Moore has promised
the police not to accept any more letters
from the United States, and letters ad-
dressed TO him will be returned TO the
writers through the post office.

GREENWICH, CONN, February g.
Sam Sutherland, who with John McCann
and Charles L. Waterbury, was arrest
ed for kidnapping little eight-year-oid
Ward Waterbury, had hearing to-day.
John McCann, one of the kidnappers,
was put on the stand. Mccain testified
in Sutherlands favor and in his mani
fest eagerness TO save Sutherland began
coutradicting the statements which he
had previously made.
1t was evident that he was perjuring
himself, and Prosecutor Walsh inter-
rupted and appealed to Judge Hoyt.
The latter severely reprimanded Nc
Cam. 10 McCann's confession TO Pros
ecutor Walsh he had said that Sonther-
land was present at Watterbury's house
when the kidnapping plans were laid
and that Switzerland was one OF the
chief COnspirators.
In his testimony to-day he denied
this. Ward Waterbury and his father
repeated the testimony they gave at the
trial OF the other two kidnappers.
Switzerland himself was then called
to the stand. He refused TO be sworn,
and would not make any pleas. Prose-
cutor Walsh then addressed the Court.
He said that he would admit that South
erland was not actually one OF the Kid
nappers, but asked Judge Hoyt to hold
the prisoner on the ground that he was
an accessory before the fact in so
far that he knew all about the matter,
and assisted in planning it.
Judge Hoyt took the same view OF the
case. and bound Switzerland over in
SIS, 900 bonds for the action OF the Supe-
rior Court, which meets in Bridgeport
on the 10th day Of February.

certs, as circumstances permit. They
promise to be musical treats OF a high
order, and they will be awaited with
great expectancy by the music-loving
people of this locality.
One object of her stay in New York
will be to consider certain offers which
have been made for an American tour,
some OF which are said TO be very fiat
tering. Up TO this time Mrs. Rammels-
berg has appeared almost exclusively in
foreign cities, and just now is DESTROYS
of making tour Of America under snch
cOngenial management as she may Sc
ect. She has just completed a tour
through England and the Provinces,
and more recently has been In Paris
where she has been rcsumlng her
studies under her old teacher celebrated
throughout France.
Mrs. Rammelsberg has achieved most
remarkable success in her European
travels, and has had an opportunity OF
displaying her rare vocal powers before
some Of the most critical audiences OF
Europe, appearing in many OF the re-
nouned musical centers, in all OF which
places she has received most favorable
comment. Not long ago, 1t
is said, she was offered a
standing engagement OF three years
at the Grand in Paris, which she refus-
ed, thinking her chances would be bet
tered by other arrangements. Ii was GER
tainly flatterng offer, and such as Is
only accorded TO truly meritorious sing
ers. Mrs. Rammelsberg is uncertain
whether she will remain in America for
any length of time on this trip as she has
an engagement at Covent Garden in Lon
don sometime during the spring. AT all
events there is little doubt but that
Wheeing's great singer will receive an
especially warm welcome at her home.
