It would be impossible and useless
to make a list CO those he has swim
died. 1t is believed he has got away
with several millions of francs In all.
The greater number of his victims
have made no formal complaint
against him, preferring to pocket their
losses rather than to suffer the chat
ing OF their friends because Of their
guliibility. But 1t is known that among
the sufferers are cardinals, archbish-
OPS, abbots of monasteries, mother SUI
periors and ADDRESSES of converts and
noble men and women who are chart

How did he do it? In many ways
He forged letters of introduction from
one bishop to another He ingratiated
himself here and there by conspicuous
acts of charity and piety and so got
genuine letters OF Introduction from

nerva,, letters addressed to him had
been piling up for several days.
They were all directed to "The Rev.
Granite di Belmonte,' name he was
using In certain quarters where he had
posed as a nephew of Cardinal Gran

tiers were in feminine hands and dain-.
tily perfumed. They were a puzzle
to Mgr. Francesca Sogaro, archbishop
of Armida, the president of the col
lege, until he heard of Gindri's arrest
and read the list of names the fellow
had used. Then he sent all the let
tiers to the police They are said to
throw brilliant light on Gindri's
methods.
The police were astonished when
they searched the trunks in Gindri's
room in the Pension la Bella in the
Via del Babuino. His trunks and
valises were of the finest leather.
