FLEECED BY
SWINDLER

New York. June "A wealthy Austria
lian, who arrived in Now York 10 days
ago from London. was swindled n week
ago out OF $4,000 by men pretending to be
wire tappers. The story has just become
public. on account of his large business
connections and also because OF the fact
that he was equally guilty with the
swindlers, the Australian made no report
OF the matter 10 the police but sailed on
the following day for London.
IL appears that the victim met a weh
known New York swindler in London
three weeks ago The New Yorker urged
the Australian 10 come over here. promi-
sing him great results on racing invest
ments. The Australian came and was
heeced.
After the coup II appears that the gang
paid the decoy only $500 instead OF the
Sl2.5s0 which should have been his share
under the agreement and ia a ut OF pique
the decoy inSorned the police During
the past week losses OF S., 600 have been
reported by other victims OF swtndlers
