Boston, July I3-Chief of Police Watts
and the local police have given up the
hunt here for Beresford Hope and de-
clare that he is not in or near the city.
Chief Watts personally is of the opinion
that Hope has reached Canada and is
awaiting a favorable chance to leave
America for a while. 1t is not imprOba-
bic, however, that he may have gone TO
one of the many fishing reserves in the
provinces, where he would be safely
buried until the scent and hunt for him
grows cold.
Chief of Police Carpenter of Montreal
wired today that Hope was not in that
city so far as his men could learn, and
suggested that Quebec be searched for
him. Quebec cannot find him. neither
can any of the provincial ports so the
facts would seem that he has dropped
completely out of sight.
End of Career as Lion.
But if Hope has left Boston, memory
of him has not, in the minds of many
prominent society people who entertained
him and whom he entertained: and many
of them are wiser in the ways of the
world than General Nelson A. Miles,
whose guest he was at dinner one night.
One of his hosts was a clever newspaper
man who showed him Boston and vicin-
ity in a big touring car. To these people
he promised to be a real lion for some
coed in catching him are now giving the
more fortunate ones the hOOt.
All who met him now declare that he is
far from being the woman-hater he de-
clared himself to be. While here he
tried repeatedly TO meet young women.
and was in the society of women more
than that of men. He entertained with
tales of adventure and travel, and some
had even promised to be his guests at his
country seat at West Kensngton when
they next visited England. They have
since learned that there is no such place.
Hope and Cassie.
An interesting feature of the case is
the fact that the firm whom he tried to
engage to look after his legal affairs here.
Carver q Mcknight, is the firm which
started the legal proceedings which ended
in the failing of Mrs Cassie Chadwick
for a long term of years. They were
counsel for the Boston man who first be
gan suit for 100000 which the dashing
Cassie owed him on notes When Hope
showed up they were quite willing TO take
him as client, but when il came TO do
ing business they were from Missouri
and insisted on knowing something be
sides blue prints and a bundle of bills
which Hope showed. but from which he
did not separate himself.
These Really Suspicious.
They are now congratulating themselves
on their foresight in the matter
The man did not look good 10 us"
said one of the members OF the firm, and
while we did not want to turn down what
might be a profitable client and one who
was on the level. we thought It best that
he should produce something to show
that he was what he pretended to be.
He made various promises as to when
he would produce the necessary dOcu-
ments, and talked of millions, but we
saw nothing of either up to the time he
departed. The outcome proves the wis
