The Way 4 Big Swindle Was Success-

The Way 4 Big swindle Was success-
fully Worked In Paris.
A 'a,lmber of Partisan fnanciers were
recently defrauded of q very consider
able sum of money by swindler who
relied for the success Of his scheme en-
tirely upon the peculiar properties Of
iodide of starch: Posing as man of
considerable wealth, whose money was
tied up in such a manner that he could
not realize without heavy losses and
pretending to have the option Of some
valuable concessions in China, he OBJ
tanned various large amounts of money
in exchange for bills dated to stand
for three months.
No one for moment suspected that
there was anything in the least degree
shady about the man or his transac-
tons, and when he made it public that
he had been successful in selling his
Chinese concession at large profit his
creditors felt absolutely certain that
he would meet his bills.
To their immense surprise, however,
when they came to look through their
papers to find the bills they only found
bills with blank spaces in the places
where the swindler's name should have
been and had actually been. They
| clamored round him for an explanation
of the strange affair, but he denied that
| he had ever given any of them bills and
| defied them to sue him for repayment
| of the loans, and the fact that the bills
| were devoid of the swindler's sigma
ture rendered them absolutely worth
| less.
The matter was put into the hands of
the police, who were able to discover
that in signing the bills the man had
| used solution of iodide of starch,
which, when first used for writing, ap-
pears much the same as ordinary ink,
but completely disappears in the course
of few weeks, and, although traces
Of the chemical may subsequently be
| discovered, nothing can make the writ
ing show up again. Finding that his
victims had discovered his method, the
schemer decamped, despite the fact
that the chances Of the police obtain
ing conviction against him were very
| remote indeed.
