SOCIETY VICTIMS
SWINDLER POSES As son OF
MILLIONAIRE SCHIFF.
Cuts Swath Among Fashionable Peo'
ple-Leaves Many Bad
Cheeks.

Lexington, Ky. Aug. IA good
looking, well-dressed young man, CIV
ing the name of Mortimer Schln ana
posing as the son of Jacob Schiff, the
millionaire Wall street banker, OF
New York, after cutting wide
swath in the advanced set Of DeXing-
ton society, borrowing various sums
Of money and cashing a number OF
cold" checks and drafts, has disap-
peared as mysteriously as he came.
He met a party Of Lexington young
people at Mammoth Cave and, man
aging to secure an Introduction, was
invited to accompany them here
where he was at once accepted at his
face value as Jacob Schif's son.
He played the role of being weary
of the haunts OF the very rich and
fashionable and OF having come south
to see something of the aristocmuc
old families and the pretty girls who
were more modest and unassuming.
He was invited into several OF the
most prominent Lexington homes
was entertained at the Country club
and his name appeared several times
In the society columns OF the LeNng-
ton papers. He played his part well,
and among other convincing docu-
ments which he with seeming care
less good-fellowship permitted Others
to see. was a chummy, ehatty letter
apparently from another millionaire 5
son in New York. mentioning famil-
iarly names and gossip OF prominent
Young men and women OF the 400. -
He spent money freely. though not
quite as freely as he borrowed. aud
acted his assumed character in the
smallest particular.
On one occasion he appeared at
the home OF a young woman with
whom he was going TO take horse
back ride. dressed in a radiant riding
costume OF white cloth. He used
rented automobiles and taxioabs with
out stint, and at his departure. which
caused much regret among the 40.
ciety acquaintance he had made. he
stated that he was going back IL
New York but would return 20 Lex
ington in a short time in his beaut
full new white motor car and then h
would show those who had been at
tentlve to him here how much he ap
preciated them.
The bogus milhonaire's son ar
rived here on July 23 and during th'
ten days which he spent in his "a,
visit he quietly and carefully Dor
rowed money and cashed checks 70
sums Of money which not only wer'
sufficient TO pay his expenses, but 4
leave him a nice margin
One OF the men from whom th'
fascinating bunco artist borrowe,

the millionaire Jacob Schiff. making
inquiries and received a reply Civ
