CASSELL, WEALTHY
BRITON, Is DEAD
Financial "AngeP' of King
Edward Started at the
Bottom.

LONDON, Sept. 22.-sir Ernest
Cassell, one Of the most promi-
nent financial figures of Great
Britain. Is dead after a career full
of romance.
OF common German birth, Cassell
began work in Liverpool when he
was 16 years of age, for IL shillings
a week. He leaves a fortune es-
timated at some s5O,000.0 900, all of
which goes to his granddaughter,
Edwina Ashley. 20 years old. Miss
Ashley thus becomes probably the
richest woman in England. She is
described as a rare type of pure
English beauty. -
In his lifetime Sir Ernest Cas-
sell gave away millions to hospi-
tails and other charitable institu-
tions. 1t has always been rumored
that he paid a large portion Of the
late King Edwards debts upon the
latter's ascendency to the throne.
Cassell was born at Cologne, but
swore loyalty to England at the
outbreak of the war. He was best
known as friend and financial
mentor to King Edward. whom he
helped make big money in the
stock market, and was such a
regular visitor to the royal palaces
that he became known as Wind
sor Cassell."
King Edward was godfather to
Edwina, hence her name.
