An Army Captain Duped.
Ms. Kingscote's hypnotic power Is
attested TO In most positive terms by
Capt William Adams, Of the Fifth
Lancers, British army. The way he
was worked upon by Mrs. Kingscote
was &c follows: The edVenturess had
among her many tools Mrs. Mary
stsphanie Drummond Wolf, her broth
er's widow. In 1894 this woman was
on the verge Of bankruptcy, and by
her written confession, had committed
numerous crimes Ct the instigation
and for the benefit Of Mrs. Kingseote.
Her creditors becoming importunate,
she was hard pressed, when Mrs.
KfnUrrrFn a, 60, A. -. 49, -. 81
resolved to get some one to marry her.
She was introduced to Capt. Adams
and selected him as her victim. Invlt-
ing him to dinner, she told the cap
tam Of her charming sister-in-law and,
with tears IN her eyes, informed him
that the only thing that could save
her from ruin was an immediate mar
rage. The captain was completely IN
her power before dinner was over and
vowed that, 20 obllge her. he would
marry the women whom he had never
seen. He did, and when he came TO
his senses found himself in a sad
predicament Divorces in England
can be secured only on statutory
grounds, but Mrs. Kingscote volunteer
ed 70 help him out for a monetary
consideration. Her husband was to
figure as correspondent In the case,
and also 10 be vel paid for his serv-
ices. Capt. Adams agreed to the terms
and went 70 his regiment In India
free man but minus a fortune.
HypnOtIzsd the Court.
Efforts were made to bring Mrs.
Kingscote 70 justice, but she seemed to
exercise q power over the courts also
and treated with contempt the Court !
