OF NEPHEW OF PERRY HEATH
SURPRISED BY RICHES HE
CAN'T EXPLAIN.
Property Came From feath, With
Whom the Nephew Had Not
Been on Good Terms.

Muncie, Ind, June 24.-In a ,e1uc-
tant hesitating and guarded manner
Ed Heath, a Muncie printer, who re-
sides at 917 West Charles street, told
story this evening of an unexpected
endowment from his uncle, ex-A3-
sistant Postmaster General Perry S.
Heath, or various valuable properties
in this city and elsewhere in the Unit
ed States, worth in the aEg. egate
thousands CT dollars, the exaeG value
being admittedly by the nephew I'M
known 20 him, the whole statement
being startling and puzzling. yet
vouched for by the young man, who
from the beginning to the end of his
tale indicated that he was bewildered,
and that lie failed to comprehend In
a way the whole affair.
Heath is a printer by trade, and
has held but few times, if ever, po-
sition at this work paying more than
SIS week. The story of the trans
fer of the property is more astonish-
ing. because of the we'll known fact
that Perry Heath and his nephew
have not been on the best OF terms
for good many years, and because
Of the fact judging from Ed Heath's
assertions, that the passing over OF
the control of the property was en-
tirely unexpected by him.
Ed Heath. the endowed, also stat
ed that his father, John Heath. who
has been working in the postoffice at
Indianapolis, and who is Perrys broth
er was given Perry Heath S interest
in a plantation in Nicaragua, reputed
to be of great worth. Young Heath
talked freely in the startling transac-
tions, but said that he was not ready !
for the matter to become public yet, i
since he hoped to be able to arrange
the affairs SO that he would have alb
solute and permanent control.
The biggest part Of the property said !
to have been transferred is composed |
of most of Perry Heath's lands and
Improvements just north of Muncie,
said to consist Of ffty-three lots. He 7
said the first he knew Of the trans
fer of the property to him was when
the tenants and people looking for
rental property began to call upon
him suddenly and unexpectedly con- |
corning matters pertaining to the
property Passed to him was stock
in the Commercial Tribune, published
at Cincinnati, and said to comprise
5000 shares.
He was first apprised Of this change,
which was made several years ago, he
asserted, Immediately after the arrest
of G. F. w. Neely, of Muncie, in con-
nection with the Cuban postal frauds,
when he began to receive cores pond
ence from the newspaper management
inquiring as to his wishes concerning
certain matters in connection with the
management of the paper.
Still another transfer made, so Ed
tells, was that of his uncle's interest
in big tobacco plantation and fac
tory, composing 1900 acres, in South
Carolina.

division of salaries and allowances
was given travelling position. and
'hat, at the expense of the government,
he solicited purchases of stock. and
incidentally while in Kansas opposed
Senator Burton's candidacy for the
United States senate.
Bristow admits tr~- - ba3 soc
interest in a gold mine il Alaska:
that he bought it from Inspector Clum,
who made the investment while on a
business trip in Alaska. but he says
that not cents worth of stock has
ever been sold.
Charges and counter charges ere
increasing daily. Strong efforts are
being made to suppress the investi-
cation, and it is feared that the sit
uatlon IN the postOfIice department
may soon become one of general de-
moralization.
Charges have been filed that II. GEO
collection indicators for street let
each. The actual value CT the ETI
ter boxes we're purchased for S4.25
each. The actual value of the device
is said to be $1.15. It is further charg-
ed that 10000 indicators were pur-
chased and are now in storage, having
not been placed On boxes. It is de-
clared that these devices have cost
the government more than $4,000,
three-fourths Of which was clear profit
to the makers and sellers.
The purchases We're not made
through Machen, but by the first as
sistant postmaster general. Mr.. John
son is credited with having bought
them during his service. The period
of sale to the government only runs
back trifle more than two years.
It is alleged that Mr. Wynne signed
the order for the last lot but this is
denied by MIR. Wynne The charges
will be investigated by Mr.. Bristow.
