T: HEIR TO $4,000,000, i BUTONLYONPAPER; RUSE TRIPS HIM UP; i ipreme Court Sends Wunrath Case ! to New Trial Because Ver dict Based on Perjured Testimony. PAKE ESTATE FURNISHES CLUE Plaintiff Tells Story t . His Life to Deteotive Posing as New York Lawyer. DISCLOSES EYE HURT BEFORE The $4,000,000 estate in Germany i which William Wunrath, an Omaha jantlor, was to inherit was just a detective fairy tale. The yarn was given to the news-1 papers about a year ago, and Wun-1 rath was keyed up to the point of ; swallowing it, hook, bait and all.Jjuti now it is disclosed that it was Just a clever ruse to get back of some sus- j picious testimony on which Wunrath had secured a judgment in the dis trict court here for 18,100. ; To qualify as the expectant heir to the four millions Wunrath told the imaginative detective the story of his life, and what he told was used to reopen the damage suit for which a new trial was ordered, and just af- ! firmed last week by decision of the xUte supreme court to which it was frjipealed. f For a proper perspective of this Interesting story, readers of The Bee, who have already had some of the inside facts about the Wunrath case, will have to have their memories re freshed. Wunrath sustained a fall down an elevator shaft while em ployed by i.e People's Furniture and ; Carpet company, and brought suit ' for damages. The first trial resulted ! in no verdict, and the second trial in i Judgment for $8,100, upon which Wunrath's attorneys immediately filed a 50 per cent lien. In the trial Wunrath had dwelt upon the per manent Jnjury of one of his eyes, , and many questions ana answers turped on his loss of sight, although ..that was not aliened In the netltion. It was her-aaKAh. verdict was 'Vendered that the detective came ' In, r when a prosperous looking? man appeared , ou the acme a little ever, a year ago. and Introduced himself to Wunrath a an attorney from isew jor. , , "You are the sole heir to a4M.OOO.OOO eetate In Oermany." he told him. "You can have the estate aa soon an we make an Investigation to satisfy us that you are the right man." The "New York attorney" was operator ' No. 103 of the Pinkerton Detective agency. What Wunrath tbid him ia related In . the report msde by No. 103 da tad March 7. 1914: What the Detective teamed. "At 2:30 p. m I went to residence, board ing Hanscom park car west, and want to tl29 Pacific avenue, where I meet William Wunrath. He was walking- down the street without a cane or crutch. ,.; "I want to his residence, where I In terviewed him. He stated that he was born In Holsteln, Germany, and that he was 58 years old his . last birthday, and that he came to the United States in 1K7 He stated that he had a number of acci dents during his lire; that his band was injured In a railroad wreck several years ago. and that one of his fingers was left a tiff as a result: that he was once kicked by a horse In the head, and that he lost the sight of one of his eyes. . . "He stated that he received 11,250 from the Iowa Commercial Travelers' Insur ance company and that they cancelled his policy. "He said that he is now employed as janitor In the building located at 1119-29 Pacific street." After another visit or two the "New York attorney" left Omaha. A few days later the newspapers printed long ac counts of Wunrath's supposed Inheritance of a 14,000,000 estate, but nothing more was ever heard of It. But enough information had been ob tained to furnish the clue which ran down and uncovered the application for and payment of Indemnity on a policy Issued by an accident company In Pes Moines to the amount of 11,250 for the permanent Injury of Wunrath's eye by the previous accident when he was kicked by a horse. Strangely enough the same, doctor who had certified to the Insurance company had also testified In the damage (Continued on Page Four, Column Four.) Til. Weather Forecast till T p. m.

Officers of the Atlantic fleet gathered here tonight at a dinner Ja their honor and heard Secretary Jonephua Dan iels defend ine navy L eillcient and prepared for war, and promise that tha administration, with the support of the American people, would make It more powerf ut and more efficient. Mr. "Daniels answered this' navy's critics, particularly the National Be curltv learue. wnich recently made yuviiK nil uvqq iciivr uouai lug luai investigation ' disclosed ' that . the navy was Inadequate, and unpre pared for war. "Our navy la good; it Is net good enough," said the secretary. With your help, aa long as I am secretary of tho navy, we will all try to make It better, The navy Is strong; It is not strong enough... With the help of the whole American people, with the help of con gress and an administration thoroughly committed to tho pollry of 'taking leave to be strong upon the sees,' we will make it stronger. Attltade of Pessimists. You have seen and lately you have heard far too ; much of the petrified pessimists, who visits . one of our levia thans of power with a sour and disap pointed visage, looking' for something upon which he can hang a .tale of woe and wall a Jeremiad. Tell him that the New York is at onoe a source of prMe and protection, and he tells you that so long as we have not as many New Torks as all the nations of the earth combined, it is worthless. Point out that flotilla of American submarines re cently made one of tha longest continu ous runs on record, and he sighs a deep sigh .and his only comment la, 'but we ought to have and build - them before breakfast tomorrow aa many as the ithree biggest European : nations com bined. The navy and Its head have been the target of much criUolam ( of late, some from those honest 'in their belief, but sadly Ignorant or misinformed, and much from purely partisan and political sources which had ao Interest la facte whatever. Aa for eueh criticism 'as concerned ray- self I have kept silent. Time muni justify, or time condemn. The splendid condition of the ships for which you are responsible, the splendid discipline of the crews which you have established, make today a far better answer than anything I could have been able to say. As they rida tonight at their anchors on the river, let them stand as their own spokes men, and I rejoice that It Is my pleasure to greet here tonight the commander-in-chief of the Atlantic fleet.
