FAMOUS SW|NDLER
RELEASED BY CAR
Nicholas LAWN, Who Is Known
to Police of World, Earning
Money Honestly Now.

MOSCOW, June S-NichoIas Sayin,
the notorious Russian adventurer who
calls himself Count Nicholas de Tou-
louse-Lautrec. has been released from
prison in Riga by the Cars mani
festo of March s. When the count
came out Of prison he had only three
roubies in his pocket He has earned
5000 roubles 50 far. A Moscow news
paper is publishing his dairy and a
cinematograph firm has paid him 1850
for films illustrating his life. In
Russia he is the man Of the hour.
He Is known TO the police all over
Europe and America as an exceeding
IL accomplished swindler. who speaks
half a dozen languages, and whose
specially is the passing OF on the guile
less of forged bonds and securities.
He accounts for all the records OF
charges and convictions against him in
various parts OF the globe in two in
genious ways.
Either they were crimes committed
BY a cousin who Is remarkably like
him, or he says they were charges
trumped up against him by the Russian
secret police in order to get rid OF a
dangerous Nihilist.
Sought Bulgarian Throne.
According to his own story, he took
part In the Russo-Turkish war Of 1877
and was severely wounded at Plevna.
There is some ground for doubling this
account, for he received no medal and
no wound pension. All that is known
is that In 1875 he gave up his commits
sion.
When Savin was on trial at Pau. in
1905, for swindling he told the same
story of being wounded at Plevna as
we'll as at Santiago de Cuba. The
French court ordered the prison doctor
TO examine his wounds" The doctor
reported that there certainly were
scars visible, but they were received in
battles other than those of war.
After a thrilling escape from the
kans, where he enlivened proceedings
by presenting himself as a candidate
for the Bulgarian throne.
His schemes, however, were frus-
trated by a Moscow barber, to whom
he owed money, and who. happening
to be in Constantinople at the same
time. gave information to the Russian
embassy as to Savin's identity.
The luckless adventurer was sent to
Narim, a desolate convict settlement
in Siberia. but within three months he
succeeded in escaping.
Afterward he lived In Chicago, where
he worked as a car conductor and was
as an American citizen. He
was married in Canada, and arrested
and sentenced there for dealing in
forged bonds In 1900. and has since been
arrested In New York, Lisbon, Finland,
and Pau. He tells wonderful stories OF
escapes from Siberia. and is, in fact. the
most brilliant artist In modern fiction.

fore the commission and asked to have
the case dismissed.
Mr. Trail, who appeared voluntarily,
told the commission through his at
.torneys that ne wished the whole pro-

tervafi the charges and accordingly no

The Trail complaint was fled short
time before eiectrification was complete.
and when the Old Dominion became
able 20 run electric cars through, the

improvements which became possible.
It is now asserted that the BIuemont
service Is equal TO that of any interur-
ban line in the world, mileage and num-
