and registered at the Hotel Henry. He is
English and the police say he is about
the smartest customer they have picked
up in many day. He had the best suite
at the hotel dressed in the most magnif-
icent manner and spent money lavishly.

wrote this letter, which was mailed to
more than 200 Pittsburg women:

vance little money to Spaulding to bind
the bargain.
There was also one letter from a man.
and it was this man who set the police
