' London, . 3~A romantic story ol mythical millions, and several other fortunes in estates in America and England, with large house properties, was told at Middleshoro, yesterday, when Charles Edmundsen Nellis, twen- [ty-seven years of age, was sent to !prison for twelve months on four {charges of false pretenses. Chief Constable Riches said that the isoner lived upon acquaintances for pe considerable time, and had obtained a large sum of money from them on the pretense that a Liverpopl aunt bad left him $70,000. He had drawn up numerous documents, purporting to be wills, by which he said he in- herited a fortune of $50,000,000 in America, an estate at Southampton, and house properties in Leeds. Among other inheritances he spoke of were eighty-four blood horses, twenty-four milking cows, 3,350 bens, 49,990 pigeons, 2,580 ducks, and nu- numerous suites of furniture. Nellis, in further documents, stated that he was heir to Sir Henry Nellis, and let- ters are alleged to have been signed by Lord Carnarvon, Lord Allendale, the king's secretaries, and other im- portant personages. Nellis had also beeh courting a Miss Lavinia Rayner, to whom, according $6 an alleged $125 special marriage license, he was "half married," the other part of the ceremony having to be performed at Leeds. Only 'that day, at 2:30, he willed her huge sums of money, and the parents of the young woman had consented to the marriage. In passing sentence, the chairman of the bench described Nellis as an un- mitigated scoundrel. Pittsburgh Township Council. Barriefield, Dec. 2.--Council met at 10 a.m; all present.
