NashVille.-MOre than 20 residents
of Nashville are among the victims OF
the alleged swindler who organized the
United Drake Association for the pur-
pose Of recovering what was supposed
to be large estate left by Sir Francis
Drake, hero of the fight with the fam
ed Spanish Armada. Investigation by
representatives of the state depart
ment Of the United States shows that
the estate was mythical and not only
are the Nashville Drake heirs" the
losers, but the victims also include resi-
dents Of other sections OF Tennessee
and Of Kentucky, Alabama, Georgia,
Mississippi, Texas, Arkansas, Okla
homa, Missouri, California and other
states.
Nashville members Of the United AS
ISOLATION Of Drake Heirs were astound-
ed when they learned that all their
hopes had vanished into thin air ana
that the money they had contributed
to aid in recovering the estate in Eng
land might just as well have been
dumped into the Cumberland river.
First intimation In Nashville Of the
fact that the big Drake estate in Eng
land was a myth was received in a
letter which Postoffice Inspector W. e.
Greenaway, with headquarters in Louis.
VILE, wrote to Prof. Boyd Drake, a
well-known educator of Nashville.
The man who is sought by the fed
eral authorities was in Frankfort, KY,
recently, and 1t is believed that the
postoffice inspectors will soon have
him under arrest.
