In the orchard and vineyard and

bought were part of a Denver, Col, es-
tate. In reality they were shipped TO Dem
yer by James J. Farmer, and from there
were shipped to Salt Lake City
A short time after Mrs. Birds first pur-
chase, Glenn Farmer came to her with
a man supposed TO represent the fictitious
millionaire, who was to take the books off
her hands at a handsome profit. This
man was introduced as Joe" Thomas.
Under the name Of Samuel Warfield he
had been convicted in 1908 in Chicago on a
charge Of grand larceny in connection with
fake book deal in which Mrs. James
Patten, wife Of the famous wheat specu-
lator, was the victim TO the tune OF $4,000.
Thomas, or Warfeld, pretended to be
indignant at Farmer for having brought
him all the way to Salt Lake City to
purchase what he stigmatized as an in
complete collection. He named the miss
ing sets and told Farmer and Mrs. Bird
that if on his return from California, n
three weeks, the deficiency had been
supplied he would buy the entire lot
Farmer then took Mrs. Bird aside and
induced her to give him an additional
10000 with which to make the collection
complete.

had disappeared, Samuel Rosendeld came

The bait was usually swallowed. The
victim bought the books, paid two or three
instalments and then began TO inquire
anxiously for the absent book lover. Sus-
picon was warded off as long as possible
by exhibiting more letters written on for
eien hotel stationery and giving various
plausible excuses to explain why the fic-
titious writer was detained abroad. When
the sucker at last got wise and refused
to pay any more instalments the game
was dropped.
This method OF operating was carried
on all over the country for several years,
until. i'm January. 1910, it received its
death blow by case known as the
MARTIN suit" which was worked up by
Clifford l.. Beare, New York lawyer,
who. with Philip W. Carney, one OF the
law partners of ID. Cady Herrick, sue
cessfully conducted the civil action brought

indicted the Farmers was said TO have
disclosed a blackmail feature OF the
scheme which is now under investigation

feared that ono OF their victims might

Irving Nemerov, a former employe %
the Farmers, related an incident con-
nected with the selling of some literary
gems" 10 a Mrs. Stackpole, OF Harris
burg, Penn. AS grand Jury witness
Nemerov testified that Glenn Farmer
told the Pennsylvania woman that a
certain wealthy bibliophjle was ready
60 buy the volume from her at a decided
profit. When Mrs. Stackpole showed
signs of restiveness at the non-appear-
ance of the rich booklover, he said.
Glenn Farmer and his father decided on
a scheme to allay her suspicious. Ac-
cording to the witness, Glenn Farmer
journeyed TO Harrisburg, where he
bought pair of crutches, and swath-
ing himself in bandages, appeared st
Mrs. Stackpole's home to tell her that
her purchaser had been killed in an auto
mobile accident while riding with young
Farmer, and that what she beheld was
the remains of himself, Farmer.
