An exchange states that one Of
the most remarkable cases ever
tried was recently settled at Deca.
ter, Ga. A young man bought
1000 cigars and had them insured
for their full value. smoked them
up and demanded his insurance,
claiming that they had been de-
stroyed by fire. The case was taken
to court and the Judge decided in
favor of the young man. The COM

A NOTED SWINDIER.
Boston Police Believe They Have One Of the
Worst In Custody.

Boston, Jan. 10.-The police have cap
tured man believed to be one of the
most noted swindlers in the country
and he is being held on a description
sent here by the authorities at Hot
Springs, Ark. He at first gave the
name of Robert Leonard, but when
shown his photograph from the police
gallery. he admitted that he was sgd
ney Lascelles, who is said to be known
to the police Of every large city of the
United States and Europe. He has
many aliases. among them being Lord
Beresford,' Sir Harry Vane r. N. and
Lord Courtney. He also has called
himself Claude b. Lascelle and James
b. La Sale. The charge against him
in Hot Springs is the larceny of $1,000
from Lyman ]. Hay, proprietor Of the
Arlington hotel, in 1901
The attention of the police was called
10 the fact that suspicious stranger
was in this city, some days ago, and
TWO inspectors We're detailed to inves-
tisate They found that a well-dressed
gontlemaniy appearing man had been
visiting some of the prominent banks
and brokerage firms in the city, appar-
emily deeply interested in purchasing a
number of American patents. He was
staying at one of the most fashionable
hotels. and making himself a generally
good fellow. The inspectors were not
able to find that he was what he pre-
tended to be and. today. they asked
him to go to police headquarters The
man consented. At the central station
he said that he was an Englishman
Robert Leonard by name and that he
has been in the country a short time
He said that his visit was purely of a
business nature. as he wished to Sc
cure the control of certain American
patents. He denied ever having been
in the Western states and seemed
much provoked at the action of the
police. At this juncture the man was
confronted by a photograph from the
police gallery and when he saw that he
weakened and admitted his identity.
The police say that Lascelles has had
very checkered career. In 1889 he
met Miss Maud Lillenthall, while she
was travelling in Algiers. She was q
daughte of a tobacco manufacturer in
Yonkers. n. Y, and was said to be
heiress of s1,000,000 The couple
planned an elopement and after travel
ing over much of Europe they came to
America Apparently they lived hap
PLY for some time. About two years
after they ran away the man was cap
tured in a raid by the New York police
and sent to prison. His wife. later. Sc
cured divorce. The next episode of
which the police have record was the
capture Of Lascelles for forgery in
Georgia and he was sentenced for a
term of six years. On Dec. rs, 1896, he |
was pardoned by the governor. Short
~ afterward he met Miss Pelky, a |
wealthy young woman of Providence. |
r. l.. and married her The Hot |
Springs authorities have wired Chief |
Watts to hold the man pending the ar
rival of officers.
