LOVE LETTER PROOF
Bizarre Affection of Old Man
for Young Woman.
CONTEST OVER ESTATE RESULT
SAN FRAXCISOO, Jan. 9. The Ex
aminer says today:
Ralph Borgelia, who is under arrest
for forgery, is either a romancer with
a wonderful imagination, or, aa he say a,
a connection of aristocratic and wealthy
' families who haa a most amazing career.
Borgelia waa taken before police Judge
Charles Weller for hearing on a charge
mi passing a forged check in payment
f a hotel bill After a brief hearing
he was held for trial and returned to
his cell in he city prison.
He has been an inmate of the prison
foi weeks awaiting trial and last night
he decided to gratify the curiosity ex
pressed by the officers who have been
watching him. Borgelia in his story
declares he is a nephew of the late Otto
Young, multi-millionaire merchant and
capitalist of Chicago, and the son of
Raoul Borgelia, member of a noble and
ancient Italian family. His mother, who
he says, was a sister of Otto Young,
married three times, Borgelia being her
her second husband and his father.
Boreglia died in London, the widow re
turning to America where she met Henri
L. Verleye, consul from France to Xew
York and they were married at Chicago
in 1889.
In support 01 his claims that he is
related to the immensely rich Young
family of Chicago, Borgelia showed the
fficers receipts for registered letters he
sent to Jtrs. Otto Young, and Mrs. S.
K. Lartin, of Chicago, and Mrs. E. W. j
lownes, of Houston, lexas, wite of a
on of Judge Townes of the Austin law
ohool. All these letters were appeals
for aid in his present predicament but
up to fhe present he admits they have
trought no response.
In support of his claim that he is a
on of Mrs. II. L. Verleye, wife of the
former French consul, Borgelia exhibits
telegrams and letters he has received
from Mrs. Verleye at the city prison.
Worn Bunch of love Letters From Col
SneU to Bis Grand Niece Are to Decide
the TJtimate Disposition of the 9v
000,000 SneU Estate.
INSURE HOTEL BILL.
Foreign Noblemen Must Have Plenty of
Baggage err Cash.
XEW! YORK, Jan. 3. The Hotel
Gotham, which is much frequented bv
CHICAGO, Jan. 9. A despatch to the
Tribune from Clinton. Illinois, says:
A worn bunch of love letters from
Colonel Thomas SneU, the eccentric mil
lionaire who died here several months
ago, to his grand niece. Mabell SneU Mc-
Xamara, are to decide the ultimate dis
position of the $-2,000,000 SneU estate.
All the letters now are in the hands
of Judge W. G. Cochrane, and will be
read today when the taking of evidence
in the famous will case is begun.
The letters are said to contain the
details of a bizarre love story the love
of a wealthy man who long had passed
his allotted three score years and ten
for his niece, when then was but 22
years old. That his affection was re
ciprocated is proven bv the tenor of
of the replies of the latter, now Mrs.
McXamara. The evidence to be offered
is said to include a long list of checks
and sums of money which Colonel Snell
gave to his niece from time to time,
The cash, it will be declared in court
amounted approximately to $50,000,
while real estate valued at $23,000 was
transferred to her.
The question which the jury will be
called upon to decide is whether these
acts are an indication of affection of
the old man for his niece, or whether
they prove that Mrs. McXamara exerted
an evil, wrongful and immoral influence
over him."
Attorney hdward J. Sweeney, senior
counsel for Richard Snell, the only living
3on of the dead millionaire, and who is
endeavoring to break the will, expect
to prove that such undue influence was
exerted. Ifc also expects to prove that
the old man was a monomaniac, due
chiefly to the hypnotic influence of the
young woman.

OBJECT TO NEW LAW.
Marriage License Measure Works Hard
ship on Immigrants.
XEW YORK, Jan. 9. The immigra
tion officials and the missionaries sta
tioned at Ellis Island, the immigrant
recieving station, object seriously to the
new law in Xew York state, requiring
ieenses to many. Scores of couples ar-
forei 'Tiers, visitors to Xew York, ha ! 'ive at Ellis Wand with the expectation
established a new rule which is aimed at
foreign noblemen coming to these shore-.
Hereafter the clerks will politely inform
any nobleman arriving at the hotel that
the rooms are all occupied unless the
aid nobleman has a'suffieicnt quantity
of baggage to insure his hotel bill, or
unless he pre-entg a letter of introduc
tion from the diplomatic representative
f his country in America. Carl Bergen,
manager of the hotel, states he has sus
tained some large losses through foreign
noblemen who stopped at the hotel but
failed to pay their bills and whose bag
gage was not sufficient to reimburse the
fcotel for the meals and lodging furn
ished. He declined to give the names of
those causing the losses.
Mr. Bryan having defined the issues,
the campaign may be regarded as
fairly started.

of marrying as soon as they reach this
country. LYder the old arrangement
tlies couples were at once married by
the ministers who are stationed at the
island as missionaries of various relig
ious societies. It is the rule not to allow
unmarried nomen to enter the country
unless there is some one to care for
them and provide that they shall not
become public charges. Under the new
law the missionaries cannot marry the
couples who arrive at the island without
licenses and the immigration laws do
not make any pruvWon for prospective
brides and bridegrooms- going to the
city haU to secure licenses. The city
clerk finds it impossible to accede to
Commissioner Watchoni's request that a
license bureau be opened on the island
and the officials are in a quandary.
Whenever possible men and women de
tained at the island who wih to marry
are paroled in the care of missionaries
who lead them to the city ,hall and as
sist them in securing licenses. In such
a case, however, the responsibility for
j their return is with the missionary and
j it is probable that it is only in excep
j tional cases that they will be willing to
'assume the risk. Commissioner Watch-
on lias asked Washington for a ruling
on the matter.

George Dixon Refused Help by Those
Whom he Benefitted.
XEW YORK, Jan. U. The body of
George Dixon, "the greatest little fighter
in the world," was shipped from Xew
York yesterday to relatives in Boston,
where it will be interred. Two ministers,
one white and one colored, made a brief
remark over the body, as it lay in the
room where weekly boxing matches are
held at the Longacre Athletic Club,
while 1000 people who had gathered to
pay a last tribute to the fighter, lis
tened. "When the coffin was conveyed to
the railroad station it was hidden in
flowers sent by prominent sporting men
and athletic clubs. Dixon's fate has
lccn the principal topic of conversation
in sporting circles in Xew York since
his death. The little fiuhter, who for
12 years held the championship title in
his class, made a fortune during his days
in the ring, but he promptly squandered
every cent of it and wdhen through dis
sipation his days in the ring were ended,
he drifted lower and lower until he
became a wanderer and almost a va
grant. Those who profited by his free
handedness in his day of prosperity re
fused to help him in his days of adver
sity, nor were they among those who
ontribnted to the fund for his burial or
who sent the flowefci that covered the
offin.
