ating table to be operated upon by

THE MYSTERY Of
TWO BARONETS
Both the Father and the
Son MySteriouSIy
Disappear.

London. Nov. 1s.-An astonishing
drama of TWO baronets. rather and
son. both Of whom mysteriously dis
appeared, was referred to in the pro-
bate court yesterday. when leave was
granted TO presume the death of Sir
Claude Robert Campbell, fourth baro-
net.
The family has been closely con-
nected with India and the east since
the eighteenth century. Several mem
bers Of IL served the East India COM
pany, and the second baronet was
charge d'affaires i'm Persia. Sir Claude
was born in 1871, his father being Sir
Gilbert Campbell, third barOnet or
Carrick Buoy, County Donegal
Sir Gilbert was a captain in the
Ninety second Highlanders in his
youth, and served throughout the In
dian mutiny. Later he became a
novelist of some note, and published
a Well-knOwn translation OF Victor
Hugo's "Toilers of the Sea"
In 1890 he become connected with
the notorious international Society
OF Literature, Science and Art" He
was arrested in 1892 in connection
with this concern and was sentenced
to eighteen months hard labor sew
eral other persons receiving still
heavier sentences.
From this time all record of his life
ceases. According to Burke, he is
supposed to have died in 1899"
Meanwhile his son was living a
somewhat irregular life. According
TO Mr.. J. H. Murphy. who applied
yesterday for leave 10 presume his
death. he soon dissipated any money

signature in the log of the Suther-
landshire is his, for it can be sworn
10 by the family solicitor. According
to the affidavits of the captain of the
ship and an apprentice Sir Claude
was drowned.
Under the will of an aunt" Mr.
Murphy added, Sir Claude was en-
titled To $500 in cOnsOls, which he
never obtained. His mother was GER
titled insane in 1900, and the commit
tee in lunacy make this application in
order that the money may be trans
ferred for her benefit. She Is his only
next of kin"
Justice Bargrave Deane granted
leave to presume that Sir Claude died
on or since July %, 1900.
Apparently there is no heir to the
barOnetcy. By a coincidence the coat
Of arms includes two gaIeys with
sails furled
The Salt Lake herald-Republican. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1909-1918, 1910-11-19

10 which he was entitled and in 1898
he left London on board the sailing
ship SutheTlandshire as an ordinary
seaman.
A year later he left the ship, telling
the captain that he had come into the
title and e1OO. He called on the fam
lily solicitor and said he was without
means. A small sum was given to
| him, and he again joined the Suther-
landshire at Rotterdam.
The vessel was wrecked off Suma-
ira in July, 1900, and Sir Claude
atOned for his life by heroic death.
He endeavOred To save the lives of his
shipmates by swimming ashore to OBJ
tain assistance, but was overcome by
the heavy seas and was drowned. His
body was subsequently washed ashore
and buried.
His fate seems TO have been IN
known for some years, for in Febru-
airy, 1907, the following agony" ad-
vertisement appeared:
Claude Robert Campbell, son Of
Sir Gilbert Campbell, Bart, is Cor if
ne is dead, then his children are) re-
quested to communicate with Messrs
Charles Rogers, Sons, and Abbott,
Victoria street, Westminster, solicit
ors"
The story OF his death was learnt
at length but since then an element
of mystery has been introduced into
the case. At one time it almost
seemed that il might develop into an
other TichbOrne case.
When Sir Claude joined the Suther-
landshire for his last voyage the ship
was or the point of leaving and his
name was not entered in the books.
A man who was recently convicted
of fraud at Coventry called himself
Sir Claude Campbell. He afterwards
admitted that he had assumed the
name, and said he had met Sir Claude
in Texas. Inquiries were made in
America. but no trace of Sir Claude
could be found.
Within the past week a still more
mysterious development occurred. A
document was received, stating:
Alive and well.-C. r. Campbell,
10. 10, '09.''
This document is not in Sir
Claude's handwriting" said Mr.. Muir
ply. There can be no doubt that the
