license. but the character of her ad-
yertisements soon made it evident
that she was a fraud. 1t was impos-
sible 10 revoke her license, however.
until there was some definite proof
of her guilt This came when she
met on one occasion an old class
mate of the real Emma MOoers, and
Immediately the classmate reported
that facr to the proper authorities.
When confronted with the statement
DR.. % Cory denied her guilt with
the utmost bravado. The classmaf e
declared in court that the original
Emma Mooers was lame, whereupon
Dr.. 90 Cory met the charge with
the statement that she had been
lame at one time, but had been en-
tireIy cured by a specialist. II was
only after the real Emma Mooers
was located IN Massachusetts and
brought a distance of 5000 miles
that DR.. % Cory was finally ad-
judged guilty. It was subsequently
learned that this woman had imper-
sonated DR.. Mooers in several other
States in the Union, and that she
had always carried on practice of
q criminal nature.
One of the shrewdest cases that
has been unearthed IN recent years
is that Of Augustus H. Warren, who
took a course in medicine and grad
nated by proxy" Odd as this may
sound. it is what actually occurred.
Warren was originally a barker
for a patent medicine faker. While
he was travelling over the country,
he found that the masses were easi-
Iy tricked and that their imagina-
ton could easily be aroused, much
TO the profit OF any one who might
be interruptions enough 20 take ad-
vantage OF the weakness.
The Washington times., 1906-02-18
Posed as q Victim.

To establish unmistakable proof OF
the mans guilt required time. By
his suavity and unmitigated nerve
he so enlisted the sympathies Of the
wife Of prominent member OF the
local bar, that he was able TO Sc
cure bail awaiting investigation
When conclusive proof arrived from
Germany 10 the effect that the
papers were fOrgeries, SO strongly
had Burger appealed TO those who
believed in his high standing that he
was able TO convince them that he
had been the victim of a conspiracy
on the part of certain crooks in the
German universities who had Sc
cured his graduation fees and sold
him bogus certificates In order 10
prove his innocence he persuaded
his benefactors that it would be
necessary for him to 90 10 Germany
The lawyer continued on his bond
and Burger left for Germany, pre-
sumably. For several months moth
ing was heard Of him. Then a mes
sage came from New York 10 the ef-
feet that he was in the metropolis
suffering from a nervous break
down, was under the care of d noted
German neurologist. and that he was
near deaths door. It was unfoT-
tunate from the standpoint Of So
ciety that there was no truth in this
report. It was only a short time
after these tidings that the Boston
Medical and Surgical Journal con
tanned an advertisement of this no
torious crook, in which IT was set
forth that he was prepared 10 give
courses Of private instruction IN
physical ard clinical diagnosis.
There are many more unsayory
tales of his vrongdoing- His case
is notable for the fact that he has
thrown down the gauntlet to all the
customs and laws Of the various
States IN which he has operated
with an abandon which strongly
indicates mental arrangement
These are but a few OF the hun
dreds of cases that have been made
public. There are countless others
that have never been exposed and
never will be exposed.

HIS DYED BEARD PIVOTAL.

The most striking case in history Of
the importance OF trifies is furnished
by the story Of Musa- the leader OF the
AfosIem host which won from Christen-
dom in three and a half years domin-
ions which !t took the soldiers OF the
cross twenty generations to win back
He had a red bea-d. This was a trifis
Afusa, though a very great general
was a very vain man and he oyea ms
beard black. This was another trliie-
One OF his captains ohaffed him on the
subject and Musa forthwith had him
stripped and scourged. For this, at the
very height OF his conquering career.
Musa was recalled by the caliph and dis
graced- This made II impossible for him
TO command the MosIetn army at the
battle of Tours, on the issue OF which, az
ell historians agree, the destinles OF
Europe and. perhaps OF the whole hu'
man race depended.

OF Musa had replaced the. Incompetence

Victims Suffer in Silence.


4 characteristic Of society which
makes the work OF these impostors
all the more dangerous, is that when
once men and women are duped by
a criminal practitioner they are not
prone TO let the world know that
they have suffered at the hands of
such a fraud.
These takers are most frequently
able for years TO elude detection
and punishment, because they de-
vote much Of their time to criminal
operations IN which the victims
family would prefer that the crime
should go unpunished rather than
have the name of the dead disgraced
in the sight of the world, In this
manner the faker commits murder
and his very ''prefessien" is 4

II appears that one Sidney II.

Medical College, went TO New York
and there entered the University OF
New York for postgraduate
course, giving his name as Warren.
Upon his graduation he had the di-

One of the most shameless frauds
ever perpetratsd upon an unsuspect-
ing public was that Of the Hagen
Burger case. Burger Is a man of
prepossessing appearance, and COM
ports himself as an educated and
polished gentleman. His demeanor
is such that he has been able TO
dupe men who pride themselves on
their ability 10 read character. Bur
ger has had very eventful history.
He first took a course in veterinary
surgery, and then determined 20
study law. but seeng that a fruitful
field lay in the direction OF medi-
cine, he spent several months in
Europe. attending various clinics.
While there he gathered a superhc-
ial smatteTing OF medical terms
Just enough, in fact, to impress per-
sons OF small intelligence.
Armed with these medical terms
and with an almost inconceivable
amount of seIf-esteem and affront-
cry. Burger went to Montana seek
ing whom he might destroy. He was
not long in accomplishing this. His
absolute ignorance Of all the princi-
pies Of abdominal surgery, in which
he was a self-professed expert, re-
suited in the death OF his first pa
tient, the victim being the wife OF
a wealthy mining engineer Of Butte.
The bereaved husband lost no time
in expressing his opinion Of the
specialist, in very forceful terms. AS
a result Burger had TO fee the State
between suns and in a sadly Grip
pied condition.
In the next field in which this
fake attempted TO operate he claim

attention 20 great invention which
