PRESENTS FRAUDULENT HEIR
Countess IL Accused of
PaIminE on wnif as Her
own Son.

BERLIN, Jan. 30.-The Countess Isabella
Weisieraka Kwileck, who has again been
arrested, charged with pretending to have
borne a son six years ago and presenting
him as the heir to an estate at Wroblewo,
province OF Posen, is 81 years of age and
white haired, though still an animated,
brilliant woman. She was 81 when the
child was born, and had three daughters.
1t is alleged that the countess seemingly
had two ladies Of high rank as accom-
plices. These, whose names have not been
disclosed, are said to have produced the
illegitimate son OF the daughter of a rail-
road watchman in Austria, and at the
proper moment to have brought the baby
to the countess apartments here. They
went It is asserted from the railroad sta
tion in a cab, gave the driver a gold
pie"e as a gratuity and entered the house,
one Of them carrying the baby done up
in shawl straps with a breathing space cut
in the bottom Of the bundle.
The child, 1t is further claimed, was
probably drugged, and was apparently kept
two days in the house before its birth was
announced. The servants of the countess,
1t seems, did not even know of the pres
ence of the child.
Those nearest to the countess took the
birth in good faith, the old Count Weisier-
aka, who was in fragile health, and who
was in Italy at the time. telegraphing to
the family doctor at Posen to go to Berlin
and assist in taking care of the mother
and child.
The doctor came to this city but the
countess would not see him, and sent the
Doctors word that she had every necessary
attention.
When the legitimacy OF the child was
first contested. the countess averred that
she had the services OF a midwife from
Warsaw who had since died
