VICTIMS OF A WOMAN.
She Has a Smooth Tongue and
Dunes Harvard Bows.

NEW YORK, May 30-Numerous gradu-
ates of Harvard University in this city,
and perhaps in others, have been made
the victims of a sm0otb-tongued woman
who, by playing upon their sympathy,
has managed to swindle them out of con-
siderable sums of money. In each case
the woman has told the same story in gen
eral, with sufficient variation in detail to
make 1t fit the case in hand. 1t has been
her custom to call upon prominent Har-
ward man. and, lin delicate. lady-like man.
ner, to explain TO him that while travel
ing eastward from California she lost
her purse. She is in immediate need of
money and begs a temporary loan until
it can be RENTED from her home in Cali
tornia. Her relatives are Harvard gradu-
ates and she is an intimate friend of the
sisters, cousins and aunts of the California
classmates of the man to whom she ap-
plies. The woman shows considerable
knowledge of Harvard graduates and
especially of those who were graduated
in the early '70s. She has always ap-
pealed to the men who were graduated in
the '70s, and has been able TO tell them
all about the classmates with whom she
claims friendship or relationship. The
swindler is middle-aged and well-dressed,
and her education aud refinement, coupled
with her apparently straightforward story,
have made easy victims of those whom
she has approached. In New York City
alone she has succeeded in getting money
from several welI-known alumni of
Harvard. and it is not known how far
her operations have extended The de-
tails of her fraudulent scheme came
about through a conversation between two
Harvard men. one of whom had given her
money. He was telling his friend about
tue wOman's predicament and expressed a
great deal of sympathy for her. explaining
that she was an intimate friend of the sis
ter of H. one of their classmates.
Hold up" cried the other, who smelled
a rat. He has no sister and never had a
sister. l know all about his family"
This led to an investigation, and it was
discovered that the woman was, accord
ing to her stories. relative of about every
man in the West who was ever graduated
in the '70s from Harvard University.
