"FALSE

ARRESTS

BIBLE ENTRIES"

EAST-end tailor Joseph Schaffer,

who claims to be the heir to the £9,000,000 estate of an American snuff king's widow, was undismayed recently

when told that New York police had taken out

warrants against nine members of a fami- ly named Schaeffer and had arrested three.

"They are not related to me," he said. “I am sailing for New York shortly, with my solicitor, to press my claim."

The fortune was left, by Mrs. Henrietta Garrett, who died in 1930,: leaving no will. Since then there have been 23,000 claimants to the money.

The Schaeffer family, who live in Philadelphia, claim the money on the strength of an entry, the name Garrett, in their family Bible.
