longing to the heirs of the O'NeaI estate,
adding that they wanted the money the
same week so as to be abe to return
to New York on the steamer which
brought them here. Mr.. Russell examined
the documents, which showed no evidence
of being of slightest value, at the same
time informing his visitors that no such
sum was unclaimed in chancery. The
two women having spent ell their money
on the voyage from New York to Eng
land, Mr. Russall paid their massage back
to the United States and they sailed on
Wednesday.
