AN INSURANCE SWiNDtER.
An Alleged Attempt to Defraud the Com
pany of ESQ 900.

pauN W F'VsV'Ds
New York. Oct. "A dispatch to the
Herald from Montreal says: An at
tempt to extort s3s. 900 insurance money
is seemingly at the bottom of the
story OF the alleged drowning a week
ago of DIR. w. H.. Ireland. a native OF
Trenton. Ont, but for years a resident
OF South Africa and surgeon to Cecil
Rhodes.
The city was deeply stirred up by the
event. which was said to have X
place of the Donaldson's company
wharf and the announcement that Ire
lands widow was at deaths door In
her hotel. When detectives called to
see her. her story did mo- quite agree
with that told or her arrival at the no
tel two hours after. Il II alleged, her
husband was drowned. She afterwards
made other contradictory statements.
The detectives say frankly that they
believe that during the two hours be-
tween the alleged accident and the time
Mrs. ireland reported II at the hotel.
ireland went to the depot and took a
train for New York. whence he sailed
for England. OR he may have had a
friend on the Tritonia. who gave him
a bunk in secrecy. The Tritonia sailed
at dsybreak the next morning for Glas-
gov. where she will be searched on ar
rival.
The face value OF the policies held by
Ireland is SIS. 900. but as a matter Of
fact there is only s22.0 900 on the doctors
life. as the premiums on $1,000 were
not paid on August I.
DIR. ireland was well known In South
Africa. having taken a prominent part
in the Matabele war. He was wounded
in the hip and as a result walked some
what lame. He was surgeon TO Cecil
Rhodes for some time and was a clever
man. Word comes from Victoria. II. c..
that ireland Is known there and once
attempted a similar scheme 20 the one
now arousing interest here. Mrs. Ire
land protests she knows nothing of IL.
