fore the Court.

Ills Hatred of Organ Grinding
Claimant 10 Succession.

Claimant To Succession.
I LONDON. January Civilian Fenry,
/ Earl Poulette. died i'm this city yesterday,
in his 72d year 1t is probable that the
/ succession to the title and estates viii be
disputed.
The deceased Earl was thrice married.
According 10 gossip, he made a wager
when "a harum-scarum youth, and travel
ling about that he would marry The first
woman Dee met on landing I'm England.
Accordingly, at Portsea, i'm 1919, he mar
rled Miss Elizabeth Virginia Newman,
daughter Of land port pilot. She be-
came the mother OF q son, whose pater-
nifty her husband denied. The couple
from that time lived apart the wife dying
in August ISL. The child, who now calls
himself NiscOunt Hinton, and claims the
succession. has long been living ON the
streets Of London as an organ-grinder,
and bis pretensions were always sternly
rcpudiatod by the deceased Earl.
About six weeks after the death Of his
first wife, Lord Poulette. married Miss
Emma Sophia Johnson, who died I'm 1876
without issuing surviving. in 1879, he mar
riod Miss Rosa de Melville, daughter
of Alfred Hugh de Neville, and their son
is generally recognized as the rightful
heir
MANY A SENSATION
The long-standing quarrel between the
late Earl POuette and the organgrindng
Niscount has furnished the material for
many London sensations Only a month
ago the claimant 10 the succession is
sued an appeal TO the public to take a
phiianthrOpic interest in the condition Of
The poor, among whom he has lived and
earned his living.
The late Earl POulette conscientiously
involved himself in debt, sold every famI-
~ possession De could sell, and mort
gagged the remainder up 20 the limit, i'm
order that "the noble organ-grinder."
I'm the event of ultimate succession to the
title and entailed estates, might benefit
as little as possible. At one time the
courts refused him a certificate of dis
charge in bankruptcy, on the ground OF
unjusudable extravaganza in living. He
made no secret of the reason for his
prOdigality. The old Earls hatred of
him whom he called "the imposter' was
intense and his animosity extended TO
the wife who has invariably accom-
panied the Visc0unt with the piano in the
streets of London.
Lord Poulette died uncertain as TO
what would be The outcome Of his life
long efforts TO defeat the aspirations Of
Elizabeth Newmans son. The child was
born in wedlock and the claimants legal
advisers have AN along assured him that !
