ing her name as Maria Giaindorge, has
been arrested in Paris on the following
charge Of impudent and ingenious swind-
ling. She appeared well dressed, and with
a very fine baby in her arms, at the houses
of wealthy Parisians asking to see the pro-
prietor. AS soon as she was admitted to
his presence, she would rush at him ex-
claiming, "Traitor wretch william have
l found you at last ?'' At the same time,
the handsome baby, having been trained
for that purpose, would extend its little
arms towards the astonished gentleman,
and cry, "Papa, dear papa p 1t may be
imagined that "papa" preferred to give
the swindler some money in order to make
her leave the house. When she was ar
rested at her residence in the Rue Duyiyier,
no fewer than seven trained babies were
found in the house, also nine or ten thous-
and francs in money. Mdlle Graindorge,
upon being closely pressed by the examining
magistrate, confessed that her real name
was Oaks; that she was native Of New
York and that she had been before at the
Saint Lazare prison. The Paris Assizes
found her guilty, and she was sent for
seven years to New Caledonia.
