charge of flirting with a New York
girl named Rae Tanker. who brought
suit against him for $4,000 breach
of promise TO marry. Mr.. Osborne
all the time denied that he ever saw
the woman and had any knowledge
of her existence till she filed suit.
He indicted her and her lawyers for
conspiracy. Now the real Osborne in
the case has been arrested. and a
sensation follows. Oliver Osborne
which OF course is not his real name
was arrested In Chicago and car
ried to New York.
'0liver Osborne"-born Charles

lived the life of a criminal from his
youth. He started out in life as a
soldier. and when he quit the service
swindled by impersonating an off,

by pretending he would marry them.
and when he could not get their
money in that manner he would go
through a legal ceremony.

been a peculiar case. We got infor-

Well, sir. l got my first results from
that siXty-thousandth circular. A
clerk from Lord & Taylor told me the
the same man that was arrested and
sent to Jail. after serving as a clerk
in the store and attempting to steal
500 from a customer.
In that way We turned up this
fellows prison record. 1t was a
dandy. Our first trace of him was in
Gloversvlle. From there he Joined
the army and served in the Philip
pines until 1901 AS soon as he left
the army he began his life as a
swindler. Our next trace of him was
in Santa Rosa. Cal. From there he
was sent to the penitentiary for one
year for swindling a nurse.
"All of his cases had to do with
women. He had complained to me
that the women would never let him
alone, but we know he would never
let the women alone.
At Least Three Wives Here.

Just before this he figured in a
case that was the sensation OF the
day. A wealthy woman OF the west

as an army officer.
This man took her TO hotel. The
next day he beat her and checked her
