MADE A CITIZEN BY FRAUD.
This Charge the Basis of Mrs.
McCarran's Suit.
She Seeks to Recover Property Held
by Her Brothers Heirs.

Additional evidence OF the evil and
far-reaching effects of the naturalization
frauds practised on the courts of this
city for years came to light to-day when
a motion was made before Judge Gieg-
erich. In the Court of Cannon Pleas.
to set aside the citizen papers of Pat
rick Mckenna, issued Oct. %, 1866.
1t Is alleged they were obtained by
fraud. and that by becoming n citizen
Mckenna became possessed OF a large
amount Of real estate in this city.
The action is brought by Ann Nc
Carran. She swears that she is the sis
ter of and one OF the h~eirs-at-law of
James McKenna, who died intestate Dec.
6, 1866, and was the owner OF a tract
of land in Westchester County. which
Is now in the Annexed District. His
mother, three brothers and three sisters
survive him.
All Of his relatives were aliens except
his brother Patrick, who had been
naturalized by fraud, 1t is alleged, a
few months before the death of James.
Patrick being the only citizen among
the surviving relatives, he inherited all
the property: Patrick McKenna died
IN April. 1881, intestate: Before his
'S"sh' hS " hio
son and a daughter almost all of the
propert inherited from his brother.
The property has since passed into the
possession Of a large number Of people.
Mrs. McCarran has brought two suits
in the Supreme Court to recover her
interest in the property. One Is against
Caroline Hermanay and the other against
Francis McKenna. children of Patrick
McKenna, to whom the property in
question was transferred
In her application for the setting aside
of Patrick McKenna's citizen papers,
Mrs. McCarran swears that she has been
informed that when Mckenna made ap-
plication to become a citizen he failed
to declare on oath. as provided by
law, that he would support the Constitu-
ton of the United States and %renounce
his allegiance to the United Kingdom of
Great Britain.
She alleges that McKenna swore he
was twenty-one, and had resided in this
country for three years previous to ar
irving at that age. She swears that the
affidavit was false, and that McKenna
did not come to this country until he
was twenty-three years old.
The defendants deny the allegations
and contend that Patrick McKenna's
naturalization was regular and legal.
Judge Giegerich reserved his decision.
Bliss & Schley are counsel for the
plaintiff and ex-Judge Ernest Hall for
the defendant.

property-owners will sit calmly by while
the stable Is In the process OF erection.
Several of them were this morning seri-
ously agitating the question of applying
to the courts for relief.
DIR. Bernard Sachs, OF q East Sixty
NTH street, said to an Evening World'
reporter this morning:
II am of the opinion that this stable
Will be n great detriment. and will con-
siderably lessen the value OF property.
Mr.. Astor's argument that he can see
no objection to this stable, because he
is erecting one next to his own house,
does not hold good, for n stable built in
dependently, is very different from one
which adjoins II large residence.
u feel particularly aggrieved that Mr..
Astor should feel compelled to put stores
In front of his stable In order to exc out
a little rent. a law should certainly
be passed prohibiting the erection OF
stables or other nuisances within 200
feet OF n place of worship"
1t has been reported that Mr.. Aston was
anxious to acquire the property of the
synagogue Bena Jeshurun, which ad-
Joins the vacant lot.
Mr.. Aston insists that he has no such
purpose. and that the stable Is being
erected for his mother. No other con-
venient site was available.

NOT KENNY" SUTHERLAND.
Kings County Men Ridicule the
Alleged Interview.
Doesn't Talk That Way and Never
Was a Reporter.

The publication this morning OF an al
legged interview with Kenneth +. Suther-
land in Montreal, in which damaging
statements were made by innuendo
against Gen. Tracy, Supreme Court JUS
tees and other prominent citizens, was
generally regarded in Brooklyn to-day as
a fake"
The report said Sutherland was stopping
templated purchasing a fine house. The
interview further stated that Sutherland
had formerly been a newspaper man on
the Albany Argus.
THE report of Sutherland being in
Canada" said Foster L.. Backus, who
defended the Coney Island Justice. II am

which relates to me.
II deny that / ever gave any such ad-

Col, Lamb went on to ridicule the re-

show that certain Supreme Court Jus

Kane.
st. Clair McKelway was asked II he
had ever employed Sutherland as Il re-

Mr.. McKelway said he was editor OF
the Albany Argus from Aug. Is, 1878. I'M
til Dec. s, 1885. and at no time in that
period was any man named Sutherland

NIoosehea lake is the largest lake in

eighteen miles. Projecting into the lake
