Miss Nina De Aubrey, a mining broker,
who says the woman refuses to give up her
trunk
Mrs Scof1eld's present alias is Lillian Bar
ton. She is now fifty-five years old and
for some time has been living in the house
which she owns. Miss De Aubrey, who Is
sixty years old, was in the San Francisco
earthquake. Afterward she came to New
York, bringing the only possession that
survived the disaster-a steamer trunk. She
has been making her living selling mining
securities, and she says there some
stock in the trunk
Miss De Aubrey until recently lived in
Brooklyn, where she >had a severe illness.
Upon her recovery she answered adver
tisement inserted by the Scofield woman
and engaged a room in her house.
A few days ago the police. who keep
close watch upon Mrs. Scofield, despite her
apparent inactivity, made raid upon the
house. They arrested two women and a
man for disorderly conduct. and finding
Miss De Aubrey in the house, asked her
II she knew the character of her land
lady. Miss De Aubrey was Mortified and
left at once. Then she began to have
trouble regarding her trunk. Mrs. Scofield
baricaded herself in her room and refused
to even see her former tenant.
Yesterday Miss Be Aubrey appealed to
Magistrate Cornell, who issued warrant
for Mrs. Scofield's arrest. The police of the
West 30th street station had to break into
the house to get Mrs. Scofield. The trunk
was not there and she said it was in stor-
age. Before going to the station she placed
a large number of diamonds in a bag and
took them with her. She declared there
was $4,000 worth. The woman is known to
have accumulated considerable fortune
during her career.
Mrs. Scofield won her greatest notoriety
when on the morning of May 10, 1888, Ma
thaniel w. T. Hatch. broker, was found
dead in the yard in the rear of her house.
He had fallen or had been thrown from
window. Mrs. Scofield and her brother-in-
law were arrested, but there was no evil
dence of their responsibility for the tragedy
and they were not held. After that the
woman disappeared from public saze for
time. Mrs. Scoield was born in England
and came to this country when quite young.
She was known to men about town in the
early seventies as Libbie Stowell. and en-
joyed the reputation then of being beauti-
