"Queen of Confidence Women" Civ
n Term of Five Years.

"Queen of Confidence Women" Given
n Term of Five Years.
New York, Nov. 6.-Ellen Peck, who
has been known for years rs the queen
of confidence women, was on Friday
sentenced to five years in prison by
Judge Oowing. Mrs. Peck, who is 70
years old, was convicted last week of
the larceny of $1,000 worth of jewelry
from Christopher Gini, of this city. AS
security she gave the jeweler $1,000
bond, which proved to be worthless.
Mrs. Peek has been in prison before.
She first came to the notice of the au-
thorities in connection with the
swindling of Babbitt, the soap manu-
facturer, out of nearly 81, 100000. Later
on she succeeded in duping Julius Col
umbain, notorious forger, out of con-
siderable money, and to get him out of
the way betrayed him to the police.
