Judge Osborn Returns From England.

S. j. Osborn, speaker of the last
Kansas house of representatives re-
turned Tuesday from England where
he was sent by the trustees of the Kan
sas Wesleyan university to investi-
gate the inheritance of the Rev. L.
III. James and to find Mr.. James him
self. Mr.. James returned to Kansas
two DAYS after Judge Osborn sailed
from New York, after having been
unheard of for month. Judge OS-
born believes that Mr.. James has been
made the dupe of English ATTORNEYS
who wanted to get fee from him.
Il could find no trace of any for
tune for the James family Judge
Osborne said Wednesday, If there is
any fortune at all it is in Australia
and nothing of it Is known in London
or Liverpool. There is report there
that some ancestors of Mr.. James
made a fortune in Australia instead
of in Liverpool and that Australian
heirs are now in possession of it.
Even if this be true, Mr.. James prob
ably could not secure any of it except
after long litigation, if at all.
Il struck Mr.. James trail within
three hours after | reached Liver
pool. / found the place where he
boarded, and from the description
given of his condition given by the
lady who kept the boarding house l
believe he had been drugged. The
lady SAID lie seemed Growsy all the
time. Two different parties called to

the other someone else. 1t is my
| theory, but / have no positive proof
of it, that this other man had some
thing to do with Mr.. James Illness |
| believe in my own mind that he was
drugged and what money he had was
| taken from him. Immediately after
| his arrival in London he drew e64. or
about S460, from the Bank of Scotland,
in London. l investigated the draft
and found the signature was all right
except that it was clumsy. 1t has
| been discovered that Mr.. James was
accompanied to Cleveland, o., where
he stopped on his return, by someone
/ from England, and it Is my theory
that this man was connected with
the others, but l have no positive
proof of it.
1T seems that there has been a
tradition of a fortune in the James
family for many years. Accordingly,
when Mr.. James received notice from
attorneys over there that the fortune
awaited him and particulars were
told he naturally believed t is
plain to me that he has been duped,
the same as thousands of others have
been, although there may really be a
fortune of some kind in Australia. >
