years of age. He represented himself to be
pension commissioner in the employ of the
government, stating that he was the chief of
sixty-ive commissioners appointed by United
States Pension Commissioner Dudley to
look after pension claimants and attend to
pension business generally. His oily tongue
made his story appear plausible to some, and
had he not been exposed several of our pen
sioners and pension seekers would have been
victimized for several dollars each. He had
room at the hotel, and was kept constantly
busy with men looking up their claims. His
scheme was about as follows: He claimed
that under the new law all the soldier had to
do was to give him the name of officers. sur

and that through him was the only chance
to obtain pension, and that he could get it
