Much interest has been excited
in America by the telegraphic
accounts of Hooley's apparently
wholesale purchase of British
noblemen for use as decoy ducks
to his various stock schemes;and
his connection with the highest
political officials of the Empire.
Theron G. Crawford, who has
been in England for The Cos
mopolitan, takes up the subject
in the November issue of the
magazine, and under the title of
'sHooley and His Guinea-Pigs, y
gives a connected story of the
derivation of Hooley and his rise
to the control of millions through
unlimited cheek and the oppor-
tune willingness of distinguished
British aristocrats to lend their
names for financial considera-
tion to any sort of shady tran
SactiOn.
