MAN OF MYSTERY'S PAST DISCLOSED
Millionaire George Nelson Was Really George Dunn Who,
opeessIy in Debt Left Chenango Forks N Y--.Sociey
Mans Widow Left Him Fortune
KNELl T0 HOPES Of A GREAT HOST OF
NELSON'S CLAIMING THE ESTATE AS RELATIVES

Springfield, Mass. Disclosures
made concerning the past life of
Springfield's Man of Mystery"
George d. Nelson, who died on Febru-
airy s, gives a death blow to the
claims of scores of alleged heirs to
the S1,000,000 estate he left. The
result of careful investigation ap-
pears to show beyond doubt that the
so-called Nelson was really George
Nelson Dunn: that he was born in
manhood, and that he changed his
name and became lost to even his
near relatives because of a business
venture in which he sunk all of his
money and became involved in debt.
Hitherto all knowledge of Nelson s
past was that he came here thirty
years ago, driving from the West two
blooded horses purchased by a rail-
road president; that Bliss Vinton. a
young society man, gave him a posi-
tion on the Vinton estate, of which he
became manager; that upon the death
of Vinton, Mrs. Emma Goodrich Vim
ton, the widow, who lost both of her
hands in fire, valued his services so
highly that she persuaded him not to
make a marriage he contemplated;
and that upon her death in 1908 he
inherited her entire fortune of $780,
600. Mrs. Vinton's relatives made a
strenuous effort to break the will, but
failed.
Recently Nelson sent for his
nephew, George G. Dunn, of Camden,
Oneida County. N. Y, travelling
salesman for a Rochester company,
and informed him of their relation
ship. He left his entire estate to
George G. Dunn, ignoring his only
surviving brother, Andrew w. Dunn,
a grocer, of Chenango Forks, father
of George G. Dunn; the latter's
brother, William, of Fulton, N. y,
and Georges sister, who lives in Os-
wego.
The man 80 long known as George
d. Nelson was the son of Nelson
Dunn, and was born in 1845, on a
farm in the town of Greene, Chen
ango County. He was graduated from
a Syracuse business college, and be-
came a shipper of butter and eggs to
the New York City market He was
doing a fine business when he was
ruined by a glut in the butter market
in 1869, at a time when he had just
laid down in New York an especially
large shipment of butter. Disheart-
ened, and believing himself hopeless
ly In debt. he disappeared from Chen
ango Forks.
There is no trace of him for the
next eleven years, and until thirty

years ago, when ne delivered the
Bliss Vinton. He had left in Chen
ango Forks his father and mother,
sister, Mabelle, and two uncles, An
drew w. and Bagley T. Dunn. OF
these only Andrew Dunn survives.
For two or three years after his dis
appearance he sent a few brief COM
munications to his old home, but he
gave no opportunity by wnich he
might be found, and his friends and
neighbors finally believed that he was
dead.
When Dunn arrived here he called
himself George D. Nelson. AS he
grew in favor with Vinton and Mrs.
Vinton, and finally inherited the Vim
ton estate, there was much specula-
tion as to his antecedents, and the
humble manner in which he had made
his advent in Springfield was recalled.
He told nothing of himself, and be-
money and became heavily involved
in debt.
Mrs. Vinton built a hotel and a
theatre, which Nelson managed and
to which, when they became his prop
erty, he gave his own name. He was
shrewd business man and nearly
doubled the Vinton inheritance.
In the light of these developments
1t is now clear why Nelson never reg
istered'kere as a voter. He could not
have answered the necessary queries
as to his name, birthplace, etc, with
out disclosing either his real identity
or committing perjury.
1t was announced after Nelson's
death that his sole heir, George G.
Dunn, was the son of sister. The
belief exists here that the nephew
and his advisors have permitted the
facts in Nelson's life to become pub
lie in order to set at rest the claims of
those persons named Nelson who as
sert that they are relatives of the
testator. They write from nearly
every part of the country, and one, at
least, came here to enforce his alleged
relationship. Frank e. Carpenter,
Nelson's attorney, declined to affirm
or deny the story of his former
clients life. He said that granting
the story to be true, the validity of
the will was not involved.
THAT document" said he, "can be
broken on only two grounds-un-
sound mind or undue irtluence. We
are prepared to show that Mr.. Nell
sons mind was absolutely clear, and
that every bequest was inserted at his
express direction and without sugges-
ton from any other person. The
witnesses are wholly disinterested
persons.

The Conductors Revenge.

A well-dressed man entered an
Orange Street car the other day, ac-
cording to story that is going the
rounds of the street car men, and
handed the conductor ten-dollar
bill. The conductor was unable to
change 1t and he let the man ride
free. The next day the man present.
ID the same bill. and again the con-
ductor was unable to change it, for
the man had evidently found a time
when he would be sure to catch the
conductor without much change.
I'll fix you," thought the conduc-
tor, and he obtained $40 worth of
ntckels and was ready for the man
when next day he flashed the bill.
The man took the matter good nat
uredly and soon left the car. his
pockets fairly bulging with the nick
els.
The conductor was more than
pleased with his coup" until next
day. when he learned that the bill
was worthless. Newark Star.
