Of Parliament. lie was tabulously rich. Only
the RothScSilds were richer. lie was courted
by the nobility. He was worshiped by the
West End. lie ecould control the market be-

the person who saw him says he is not only
without means, but the garments he wore we're
not such as any respectable man would like to
