DENTIST GOT
GOLD FILLING

Bristol, England, Jan. 27.-Dr.
Arthur Hayna the Manchester dem
tist, charged with wedding and
swindling a Bristol woman named
Matthews out of $4,000 is on trial
here.
The police have not yet completed
the case, which they expect ultimate
" TO lead TO his Identification as Dr..
George A. witzehoff, the dentist who
disappeared from New York in 1905,
leaving nearly 100 women who
claimed him as their husband.
That they will yet be able to prove
the two individuals one and the
same, they say they are now almost
certain, however. Their theory Is
that witzhen located in Manchester
Immediately after vanishing from
New York, setting up nominally as
dentist, but really in his old trade OF
marrying women, obtaining possess
sion of their money, and then desert
Ing them.
They profess to have evidence that
he victimized at least FIVE West coun-
ty women besides Mrs. Matthews In
this manner, and think they will find
many more.
The prisoner admitted, on his pre-
llmlnary hearing, that he once lived
in America. He says he studied
dentistry there, however, obtaining
degrees in ST. Louis, and denies that
he was ever in difficulty in the new
world. He processes TO have been.

Thousands Of tons OF steamer

that a number OF japanese cruisers
