The first day OF the session of the United States

City was the star attraction. The burning ques-
ton whether the United Kingdom Of Great Britain
and Ireland the United States Of America can
claim the honor Of possessing Patrick Jerome Glea
son came up before Judge Wheeler.
II was an inspiring sight TO see these two great
nations each battling for the honor of wearing
Gleason. like diadem. upon her brow. The
United Kingdom represented by United States
Dstrct-A Attorney James L. Bennett. and the United
States by F. Fl. Van Vechten. II is true that the
desire of the United Kingdom to possess Gleason
was yelled under the uncomplimentary aspect of
taxpayers suit to prove that Gleason had fraud
ulenty obtained his citizenship. and that TO all
appearances Mr. Bennett trying to prove that
Gleason had committed fraud upon the people Of
the United States and upon the laws Of this

that when Patrick Jerome Gleason applied for
naturalization papers he was twenty one years old
He had sworn that he only eighteen. While

the statement that greater harm would be done
by entertaining this action than by setting 1t
aside" He then intimated that the action was
prompted by a wish the part Of certain poll
icians Of Long Island City to Gust the Mayor from

Judge Wheeler reserved his decision. The charge
against Gleason is that he born in Tipperary
in April, 1sn, and that he did not arrive IN this
country until May. 1852. when he past his

In October 1867. by falsely stating that he
