Rich American May Be Held by Lon
don Card Sharpers.
London, April 17. Tho London po
lice have been supplied with many al
leged clews as to the whereabouts of
Joseph W. Mnrtin every few minutes
of tho day. One of tho latest avers
lhat the Memphis man went on board
Iho steamship Wulnier Castle with n
woman on April 5, shortly before thnt
vessel left for South Africa.
Thirty-four tnxlcnb drivers Informed
tlio Scotland Yard authorities thnt they
had driven men nnswering tho descrip
tion of tho lost American. Another
cabman said thnt ho drove a man on
tho night of April 3 who possibly had
Martin's cash with him. Tho man
alighted near tho Belvedere road,
where Martin's hat wns found, and
tendered a ten pound Bank of England
note In payment of his fare. The man
ishowed-n red stained handkerchief and
several nrtlcles of Jewelry.
Inspector Ward examined the papers
found in Martin's bnggage, but discov
ered nothing to throw light on the mys
tery of his disappearance. Among the
papers was a draft of a prospectus of
an Arkansas land company which Mar
tin was floating here. There was noth
ing, however, to show that any money
hnd passed in this connection. Ward
expects to obtain an order from the
high court of justice permitting the ex
amination of Martin's safe deposit
vault
Information reached the police thnt
the woman with whom Martin hnd nn
nppointmeut the night he disappenred
hnd made arrangements to lenvo Lon
don for the United Stntes. That Mr.
Martin was the victim of card sharp
ers, who may either have killed him or
are holding him a prisoner somewhere.
Is the'generally accepted theory here.

to be n benutlful Brazllinn, was a mem
ber of this baud is not known, but she
Is known to bo acquainted with some
of Its lenders. One of the most promi
nent members of this band of sharpers
Is said to be n woman of title.

LETTER FROM AV. A. BRADY.
Mr. Editor:
"Bought and Paid For," the big
gest play of our time, and which will
be tho attraction at the Lyric next
Monday evening, carries my person
al guarantee. It Is the same In every
particular as drew packed houses for
two years at my Playhouse in New
York.
If you find anything to criticize
any slurring or inattention by tho
players, or any potnt about the stago
equipment that does not justify tho
highest claims of the management
I shall esteem it a very great favor
to have you write me in detail at my
oflices in the Playhouse. New York.
It has been asserted in some quar
ters that lack of interest in amuse
ments in all but tho few largest cit
ies has been caused by short sighted
managers who sent inferior compan
ies and shabby scenery to these cen
tres. I am determined that my
name, when attached to an attrac
tion, shall be a full assurance of the
high value of that attraction, and I
bespeak your assistance to that end.
Any proper complaint you may
make will receive prompt and re
spectful attention.
