An Englishman named Walter Wilkins
advertised in a Manchester paper last
November to this effect: "Wanted-A
widow lady as housekeeper to widower,
professional gentleman; a lady of means
will be required, ultimately with view to
matrimony." To that advertisement a
lady replied, and subsequently, the adverti-
ser had an interview with her. He then
went to London, where he was joined in a
few days by the lady, and it was arranged
that they should be married. He told her
he was possessed of considerable wealth in
America, and wanted to proceed thither
Immediately after the wedding had taken
place. She consented, and he obtained
from her $3.50 for the purpose of paying
their passage, 800 to buy surgical instru-
ments (he had asserted that he was
doctor, having obtained his diploma in
America), and $75 to buy dress for her.
The night proceeding the day fixed for the
wedding she received from him letter in
which he said that in consequence of
illness he had determined to proceed to
America to go under medical treatment,
and advised the lady to remain with her
friends until he returned in good health in
three months time to marry her. She did
not hear of him again until early in June,
when she saw a similar advertisement to
the one she had answered in q Manchester
paper. She answered it, exchanged letters
with him under fictitious name, and
becoming convinced that he was the man
who had run away with her money, procur-
ed his arrest. She was right. The gay
deceiver had a number of letters in his
pocket showing that he had long carried
on this system.
