PARIS. December 16 1911
The Paris police announce the arrest
of member of the swell mob with
half a dozen aliases. against whom many
SWindleS are alleged.
He is a good-looking man of twenty
seven years, and was recognized by the
French police as having given them some
trouble at Nice in March last year,
where he was staying in one of the best
hotels with a very pretty American. and
living in excellent style.
With two accomplices and the Ameri-
can girl he had made the acquaintance
of a rich merchant from Hamburg, who
was staying at the Hotel Royal. The
girl took rooms at the Hotel Majestic.
went to tea at the Royal one afternoon,
and allowed her friends to introduce the
German to her.
Lured Into Baccarat.
Baccarat at the Majestic was the next
act and an arrest the third. But the
evidence was not plain enough for any
thing but expulsion, althoL Ugh there was
no doubt that the German was being
robbed.
The police have since found out that
their captive. with the assistance of ac-
completes, also relieved a Scotchman of
5000. The Scotchman lodged complaint
with the police at Mentone, where this
theft took place, and the swindlers
bottled.
In 1898 the man was concerned in
robbery al the Hotel Victoria. in Inter
laken. and in 1908 he is known to have
won $500 from an American with
double-headed sovereign.

mans accomplces on that side of the
channel.
