fortunately, through the red-tape pro-
ceedings of the British Government,
he was not supplied with funds for this
purpose. The Khedive promptly loan
ed him $25, 900 and a wealthy native
resident placed his house at Raymond's
disposal. Raymond, with his servant,
set to work to furnish the house. That
night they disappeared. Raymond had
tined his visit we'll. The next day
Alexandria was bomborded.
In September, 1885, G. G. Bancroft,
United States Consul at Calcutta, wrote
in a letter to the police of New York
City that Raymond was there and that
he
Had Taken the City by Storm,
posing as an Egyptian Bey of great
wealth and a friend OF Chinese Cor.
don. At one time he lived in an es4
Establishment that required As servants
and owned magnificent e%quipages. The
hotels in Calcutta, the letter said,s
fought to do him service. The din
ners which Raymond Bey gave daily
cost hundreds of dollars, and one din
ner cost $4,000.
Raymond's first prison sentence was
received from Recorder Hackett, of
New York, in 1873, when he was sent
to Sing Sing for two years for steal
ing an overcoat at the Fifth avenue
Hotel He then went under the name
of Arthur J.. Holmes.
Raymond was in this country again
in 1886. For a time he was at the
Hygeia Hotel, Old Point Comfort. Late
in that year he was arrested at the
Hotel st. George, New York, by Detec-
tives Bailey and Rutland, on the COM
plant of Edward Copp, for having
passed worthless checks at the Hotel
Belvedere. For that crime Raymond
was sent to Sing Sing for two years.
After his release he went to England.
On his arrival in England he went
to Stratford and said he was a nephew
of George w. Childs, of the Philadel-
phia Public Ledger. He borrowed
money from everyone with whom he
came in contact. Later he imperson-
ate a nephew of Joseph Chamberlain
and succeeded in swindling many per-
sons.
Finally He Forged the Name
of George Augustus Sala to a draft,
negotiated it and was arrested. In
1883, on a plea OF guilty at Manches-
ter, England, he was sentenced to pris-
or for 10 years.
He served his term, returned to this
country a few years ago and was made
city editor of the Philadelphia Times.
Raymond held the position a short
time and disappeared to begin his
swindling operations once more. In
Milwaukee he said he was a British
officer, presented forged letter from
Acknowledgement Corbin and a num-
Der OF others, borrowed a considerable
sum of money and was arrested and
SEM TO the workhouse. He disappear
ed for some time previous to his re-
cent arrest at New Haven.
