How Foreigners are Lured In
to Believing Themselves Heirs.
THOUSANDS ARE SPENT
In NonSenSiCaI Search for
Something Never Existing.

There is a man in this city who makes
q business of investigating legacy cases
for wouldbe heirs of American millions,
says the New York Commercial Adver-
tiser. His clients all live in Europe. He
is an educated man. but he is not a law
yer by profession. Indeed, it is with
some difficulty that he speaks English.
But he knows a great deal about the
American inheritance laws and still
more about the human nature of foreign
e-s whose rela tives are supposed TO have
died rich in the land of millions.
Some ter or eleven years ago he CHANGED
upon the track of a Polish nobleman who
died intestate in California The noble
man had come to this country during the
war. He had fought under General
Grant. settled out West made money,
lost some of il and died. The man who
now makes a speciality OF this sort OF
cases is not a Pole. He is a Belgian by
birth and breeding and at the period in
question his range OF acquaintance I'm
this country was almost confined to i'm
migrants from his native land He had
no trouble. however, in being introduced
TO the small Polish colony OF the town
in which he lived. and. thanks TO the
unconscious assistance of some Of its
members he succeeded in establishing
communication with the dead counts rel
atives in Posen and in small town in
the vicinity of Warsaw At first the
heirs Of the deceased seemed TO attach
bu little Importance to the affair Little
by little. however they warmed up 10 il
and took il seriously-so seriously. in

this country. each representing a special

sued The bone Of contention scarcely
exceeded S75.oo0 and there We're so many
heirs and lawyers and money-lenders
connected with il that when il was all
over the shrewd Belgian received for his
trouble twice as much as the dead noble
mans first cousin
This was the way he was launched in
his present business. His next case came
to him from Europe. Somebody who
had heard of the part he played in con-
meeting the heirs OF the dead nobleman
with his fortune, wondered if he could
