BLACKMAIL PLOT
MAY BE EXPOSED
Alleged Legitimate Child of
Millionaire Sad to Be Orphan
Asylum Founding
Especial Dispatch to The Call

DENVER, June 26.-Little Villa Belle
Martini, whose mother, while living
in poverty in Denver, created a sensa-
tion here and in Pittsburg by declar-
ing the child was the illegitimate
daughter of Theodore N Barnsdall, a
millionaire of the latter city, may have
been only a founding taken from an
orphan asylum and used for blackmail-
ing purposes. The real history of the
case may never be known, for the
mother died of alcoholism a few days
after she made the announcement, and
the child was given by the juvenile
court into the custody of the dead
woman's mother. Mrs. Sarah E. Holtin
of San Francisco.
After a lapse of two years this
woman has written to Judge Lindsey
telling him she no longer wishes to be
guardian of the child, as she has posi-
tive proof that her daughter was not
its mother, but secured the baby from
an orphan asylum.
Barnsdall at the time Mrs. Martini
made the claim upon him protested that
the woman was blackmailing him. He
said he was not the father of the child
The state humane society and the
Juvenile court communicated with him,
but he refused to have anything to do
with the case.
After the death of Mrs. Martini her
mother came here and asked for the
custody of the child.
If the report to the Juvenile court
submitted by the present mother is
proved true. the child will lose what
ever claim she may have had as sup
posed heir of the millionaire banker.
