One U.BOAT CRIME
PROVES TO Be HOAX
Tattooed Sailor Disappears After
Election Excitement in
England.

The finest hoax for many years was
perpetrated during the election cam
paign in Great Britain, and many
prospective members of Parliament
feel rather sore on the subject.
On December z statement appeared
In all the newspapers that a man
named Barton Mayberry, a ship fire.
man, had arrived at Newcastle bearing
on his cheeks tattoo marks represent
ing the heads of serpents, which he
alleged had been inflicted by two sail
ors on the orders of a German SUBJ
marine commander in mid-Atlantic in
April, 1917.
Naturally full play was made by the
candidates of this outrage in their
punish Germany" campaign and pic
lures purporting to show the mans
Disagreement were published in the
illustrated papers. The crime story
appealed strongly to the doubtful vot-
ers and many votes were changed.
The first intimation that the story
was a fake came when a few hours
after the polls had closed two news
paper readers compared copies of the
picture received from different parts
Of the country. Both pictures repre-
sented the same side of mans face
but the design was different In each
case.
The Prisoners of War Committee in
vestigated the matter and ascertained
that on November 13 Mayberry applied
for registration as a seaman prepara-
tory to offering himself for employment
in the British mercantile marine, and
that in making his application he
stated that he had had no previous
sea experience. On being notified that
his registration certificate was ready
he disappeared and has been missing
ever since.
