Special Correspondence Of The Star.
ST. PETERSBURG, April %. 1911.
Heinrich Wyler, son Of a Swiss mer-
chant In the Solothurn Canton. who has
just been sentenced to four and a half
years Imprisonment for thefts, has be-
hind him one OF the most remarkable
records for adroit swindling that has ever
come before Russian court. Variety
has not been lacking, and the tale of his
past life, as unfolded by the police. reads
more like part Of a sensational novel than
real life.
AS boy of seventeen he was publicly
whipped by his father for having insulted
young girl. and In fit of rage and
desperation left home. After some few
years of honest existence as a clerk In
France, he went to Monte Carlo, where
he was successful enough In winning
5000. with which he travelled through
Italy and afterward Spain, gaining con-
siderable f1uency in the language of both
countries. Tired of this humdrum exist
ence. he then journeyed to Africa, where
he made more money by trading in ivory
and also-a more remunerative depart
ment-in slaves.
On his return voyage to Italy. with
some $4,000 capital, he met the Duke Of
the Abruzzi, who took an interest in the
intelligent young man who could speak
five languages, and he was eventually
appointed the dukes interpreter. Through
the medium Of the duke Wyler was in
troduced to the famous Prof. Lombroso,
who after knowing him short time de-
clared that Wyler was not At person
to be at large as he had an intensely
criminal disposition. So furious was
Wyler on hearing the professors state
ment that his behavior did actually lead
to his being sent to q lunatfc asylum In
Milan for time: but he succeeded in es
Gaping, with the result that his life from
that time onward has borne out Prof.
Lombroso's diagnosis with remarkable
precision.
A series of hotel thefts led to Wyler's
flight to Bucharest, where well known
theatrical beauty fell in love with him:
He lived at her expense for a time. and
then. firing of her, made OF with her
jewels Assuming the title OF Count
Halwyl, he next succeeded In carrying
out a series of remarkably daring rob
