A historic FRAUD.
How the Bank of England Was Robbed
by Clever Swindlers

Dy OleFer SW1uulerB
New York Commercial Advertiser
The last great fraud by which the Bank of
England has been a sufferer was that of Aus
tin Bidwell and his accomplices. On the
18th of April, 1872, Austin BidweD called
upon a tailor named Green, in Seville Row.
and under the assumed name of Warren
gave him handsome order. On May he
paid Mr.. Green another visit. he was then
proiessedly on his way to Ireland, and
money asked Green to take charge
of it during his absence. Green
hesitated to take the responsibility, but re.
marked that the branch Bank of England
was in Burlington gardens, close by. and Of
fered to introduce Warren there. This was
done and Warren opened an account by q
deposit Of 81 200. He gave his name as
Frederick Albert Warren, and his address as
Golden Cross Hotel. He paid in and drew
out money to a considerable amount, and
shortly began to offer bills for discount
They bore the best OF names aud were dis
counted without hesitation. On the 18th of
June, 1874 bill of Rothschild's for a, 500
was offered and was discounted in due
course.
Having thus gained, by transactions In
genuine bills, the confidence of the bank au-
thorities, the supposed Warren commenced
operations of another kind. Bills came in
thick and fast for discount, still bearing the
same first class names-Rothschild, Blyden-
stein, Suse, and Silbeth, ETC.; bat they were
nov cleverly executed forgsries. The bank
continued to discount without suspicion.
Naturally, however, it paid in it's own notes,
OF which the numbers were recorded and
which, when it was discovered that the bills
were forged would be difficult to realize
Bldwell in order to dispose of these and to
diminish the chances of Identification,
opened an account in another name
(Horton) at the Continental Bank.

ceived at the Bank of England. TAXI og
