city. for which she asked $4,000. For
several months the woman called on
Wells at intervals 10 ascertain whether
he had made the sale. Finally he in
formed her the property could
not be sold for that sum.
She then said she would hor-
row 5000 on il. Wells acted as her
agent. and negotiated loan for that
sum from Thomas Crane. a well-known
capitalist. The title was searched and
declared perfect, a mortgage on the
property was drawn up and placed on
record and the money paid over The
recording of the mortgage was not pub
lished till few days ago, when it was
discovered that Miss Dick had made no
mortgage, and the woman who received
the money was an impostor. No clue
can be found as to her Whereabouts
