men, nephew OF the German Ambassador in
London, was captured at Vienna. and has
been in Jail for three or four months past
at Berlin. In fact. the German police have
the entire gang under lock and key. with
the exception of the soi-disant Captain
Newton. The latter's name is well known
TO the police of New York, and II may be
remembered that woman, described as
Mrs. Newton and as his wife, became in
volved some years ago in a charge Of theft
brought against her by New York woman
living somewhere on Central Park West.
and whose acquaintance she had made at
Larchmont.
There are over sixty complaints recorded
against the gang of swindles OF tradesmen.
The charges OF swindling at cards are less
numerous, owing to the reluctance Of the
victims to make public the fact that they
have been foolish enough to permit them
selves TO be heeced. one of the gang now
in jail is Baron Schenk zu Schweinsburg.
a perfectly authentic noble. some sixty
years OF age and most respectable looking.
The impudence of the soi-disant Baron
Koenig is almost beyond belief During
the last peace conference at The Hague
he managed TO get himself invited to most
of the official receptions and entertain
ments, and when he fieeced a young Ameri-
can at cards to a very large amount, and
the mother Of the young man, the bearer
Of a well known name in New York, lodged
charges against him with the management
Of the hotel at which he was staying and
with the police, the hotel people were so
impressed by him that they asked her 10
vacate her rooms with her son and to leave
the establishment. while the Dutch police
refused to entertain the accusation.
