chievous Americans deluded Navajos
into eating either Of those forbidden
dishes, and sometimes there have been
very serious oscillations for the ILL.,

He betrayed the companions In the
crime and they swore bloody vengeance
at the first opportunity. He soon re-
turned to America and tried to live an
honest life in New York city, where his
parents and living brothers and sisters
are highly respectable people. The
companions in his last crime went to
prison at Milan, Italy.
Wilkes had fine physique. His hair
and moustache turned gray when he
was quite young. He had regular fea-
lures and florid complexion, always
dressed well. and was a clever CONVEX
sationalist- Though he was invariably
known as George" his name is Henry
Wade Wilkes.
Wilkes began life as clerk in the
general Office of the Erie railway. He
became an expert at dealing cards and
when 81 years old left regular employ
ment to follow gambling as a means Of
livelihood. He subsequently opened
one of the leading gaming houses on
upper Broadway. He began a rapid
pace which even the immense
proceeds of his establishment
would not meet, so he took to forgery.
In few years time he cleared over q
quarter of a million. One of his checks
on Athe Board of Education of New
York amounted TO $40, 900. He cashed
it successfully, but was subsequently
arrested for the crime. His tracks had
been thoroughly covered up, however,
and he was discharged on techni-
cality. His brother, Thomas g., who
also went astray, got caught in the
same deal, and is now serving a term
in Sing Sing for his penmanship. Mary,
a beautiful sister. who also had crimi-
nal inclinations. died as a result Of the
disclosures which unveiled her
own double life. At the time
of her death, she was the wife of

artieulate the words-''they have killed
me at last"
Wilkes was the king of forgers and
counterfeiters of three continents,
America, Europe and Australia. He
groomed with the nobility of nearly ali
the lands of potentates. He called the
Prince of Wales his intimate
friend and died one of the
few ever shown through the
harem of tfs, Sultan of Turkey.
Yet for twenty years previous to his
tragic end he was the leader in all the
boldest robberies of the continents on
which he operated.

which he may have died. WAS COM
