TRICKS OF CHAMPION FAINTER. y
One of His Most Successful Was to
Faint in Presence of Wedding Party.

Y.
From the London Mall.
A fraud on a lady has just come to light
on the details of which much time and care
must have been expended, and yet the
profits amounted only to IS.
A man, who described himself as a ship's
mechanic. called on the lady at her resi-
dence at Putney. He displayed a most in
innate knowledge of the family, and stated
that two letters had been found in a berth
on a German liner addressed to her two
brothers. who were In Australia. He said
that he had been to the London office of
these two gentlemen. the addresses of
whom he mentioned, and added that he had
been told 10 call on her as a telegram had
come asking for the letters to be forwarded
at once.
He said that the third mate Of the liner
had the letters, and gave the lady an ad-
dress in Hamburg to write to- He added
that his expenses had been 3s.. which the
lady gave him. promising to communicate
with him later. Inquiries afterward proved
that there was no such third mate and no
such liner.
1t Is perhaps due to universal education
that frauds of this nature are increasing
as opposed to crimes of violence There is
one man, for example, known as the
money; he merely faints your doorstep.
He is almost invariably taken in and given
good meal, and in many cases money is
pressed upon him.
One of his feats was to faint outside n
house in which wedding party was assem-
bled. He was tenderly looked after, was
given champagne. ana wished the newly
married pair good luck in a neat speech.
a man who lived on his wits noticed that
lamps were being used in house, while
all the others in a row were burning gas
He deduced that something had gone wrong
with the meter. and called early next morn
ing from the company" Under his direc-
tons the family distributed themselves In
the various rooms ready to apply matches
TO the burners at a signal while he stood
at the meters.
Experiment after experiment ended In
failure and the family were moved from
room TO room, while the ''gasman'' made
the most of his opportunities He event,i-
ally left with good haul, and instructions
10 wait until he sent the workmen.
