O., Charges street. London. This man
proved to be only a lodging-hou keeper,
with no funds belonging to Collins in his
possession.
1t appears, according to officials, that
Collins completely hypnotized the dusky
pearl dealing fraternity of Bombay He
gave out that he was British colonel on
leave of absence; that he was a member
OF the well-known firm OF William Collins
& Son, of Glasgow, and that he intended to
stock up with pearls and dispose of them
after the war
The pearl dealers, as one official ex-
pressed it, simply fell over themselves"
in their eagerness to place their choicest
jewels at the feet of the honorable sahib
In another case, it is charged, he obtained
a beautiful necklace of ffty-three pearls
from Pohoomull Brothers, of Bombay
These pearls were of "a superb rosy tinge
and weighed 159 $40 karats" This was
valued at $4,000. In another case pearls
valued at .S21 900 were obtained, making
roughly, total of $4,000 OF property Sc.
cured by Colonel Collins.
Having loaded up with choice pearls,
Colonel Collins journeyed on toward Amer
lea. BY the way he amused himself
greatly and fascinated everybody with his
stories of adventure.
His latest charming wife helped to in
crease the deeply agreeable impression he
made. He left Toxic, Japan, in April 1917,
tor Vancouver, b. G..
While out West he was mentioned in
the breach Of promise suit brought by Mrs
Olga Olsen against Captain Fritz Olsen,
president Of the Northern Pacific Steam
ship Company. Ever since then it is
stated. Mrs. Olsen has been a most de-
voted friend OF Colonel Collins.
Collins then travelled on to New Orleans.
BY this time the Bombay pearl dealers be-
gan to fear that their pearls were in dan
ger and tried to have him extradited He
was arrested OH one charge in New
Orleans and released. Then he came to
New York and was arrested again in May
while dining at Sherry's.
He was then released on his own re-
cognizances. When the day came for eX-
animation before United States Commits

in such state Of nervous breakdown that
it was impossible for him to leave his room
in the New York Hospital. The picture

feared that If worried in the least about
business he would take his own life
He was, therefore, allowed Il further
delay. When the United States mar
shall went to the hospital on October S
to bring him to court lie found that the
elusive Colonel had fled a few hours
before. His counsel, Edwin B. Wilcox,
professed entire ignorance of his
wherea bouts.
Several weeks later he gave himself
up at New Orleans, where his ezra
dition was ordered
According to the officials who are
prosecuting Collins. he has made vari-
Gus attempts TO dispose of the pearls
while he has been in this country. but
whether he has been successful they
will not say. In his defense Collins
alleges that his Indian creditors arc
trying to collect debts through the
medium Of eXtradition PROCEEDINGS
Information has been received that
Colonel Collins has led a merry life
while eXtradilion proceedings have been
pending and even while lie ,las supposed to
be suffering from nervous prostration. Re-
ports are heard of gay dinner parties in
fashionable hotels where he was the life
and soul of ,he party.

Landing Soldiers on the GaIlipoli
Peninsula, Where Captain Glen
Collins Fought with Distinc-
ton and Was Wounded.

"APTAIN CHARLES GEEN COLLINS
is in jail. But Captain Collins was
once the welcomed CUES; at the most
fashionable entertainments of New York
and Newport? Yes
Captain Collins, of the British Army. is
a hero Of Gallipoli in the cruelest. hottest
campaign OF the war. Then why is this
dashing army hero OF unquestioned cour-
age in Jail?
Captain Glen Collins's extradition has
been ordered by L. S. Judge Foster, of
New Orleans, on the complaint OF the
British Government for swindling Il famous
jewelry firm in Bombay, India out OF some
fifty thousand dollars worth of pearls.
Collins is really an ex-colonel now, and
his military record is one OF the finest in
the British army.
But for fourteen years at least he has
been acquiring an unsavory reputation on
three continents. Two American wives
have divorced him for his treatment Of
them, and numberless other women have
cause to regret his dangerous destinations.
He has been arrested over and over again
On various charges, but never yet con-
victed
Yet this social parasite, this deceiver of
women, this dabbler in queer financial
transactions, served with credit through
the Gallipoli campaign, the most terrible
ordeal Of the present war. Before that he
had fought in the Boer war and was en-
gagged at Paardeberg perhaps the greatest
fight of that war, when the British troops
took a tremendous Boer entrenchment by
frontal assault.
There is the problem Can a man be
parasite in ordinary social life and real
hero in war?
This real "Jekyll and Hyde is the
grandson of the late Sir William Collins.
very distinguished and wealthy citizen
OF Glasgow. Scotland During his first
visit to American shores he married hat
most picturesque New York society beauty,
Miss Nathalie Schenck At that period
Reginald Vanderbilt, George Gould and
August Belmont were among the many
prominent Americans who were pleased to
call him friend.
The latest chapter in Glen Collinss long
and complicated story must be told first.
In August, 1914, when tho great war had
broken out, he was actually under indict-
ment in New York for the larceny OF 1922
from Miss Amelia Lauterbach a New Jcr.
sey school teacher. She charged that he
had taken the money on the pretense that
he would buy her steamship tickets to
Europe and kept It, AS usual, he had pur.

6reat retlllue OF servants, polo ponies and
baggage. There they learned the truth
and found thai the Captain could not nav
MS bills. The bride had to pawn some OF
her jewels for this purpose. They returned
TO this country and then separated within
lour months Of their marriage, She oh.
tanned divorce without delay
Naturally, everybody condemned Collins,
severely for his treatment of trusting
woman. In 1907 he came back to this
country and went to work in the Grubey
Faience Pottery Company, of South Bos.
ton, Mass. He announced TO his associates
mat he was doing honest labor in order TO
win back The affections OF his wife. the
mother OF his little boy He impressed
MS associates deeply, but not the former
Mrs. Collins. She was afterward married
to William Laimbccr, who was killed in
an automobile accident in 1912
In 1910 the Princess Ethel Xoltykoff. OF
Russia, obtained a judgment against Col
Inns in New York for obtaining certain
rare vases from her. She stated that she
had these vases ut her house in London
that Collins admired them and said he
would buy them for $4,000. Exercising
his natural "Reminiscences he carried
them away and never sent her the money
She trailed him fc~ seven years until sbe
caught him in New York.

York with $4,000 worth of debts They
were almost entirely for personal luxuries

aided by an abundance of German big guns
and gunners
So great were the miseres Of these Brit
ish soldiers tina; many of them welcomed
an opportunity to get killed. During this
terrible campaign Colonel Glen Collins
bore himself with the greatest bravery
leading his men with the greatest GOODNESS
in attack and encouraging them by his in
eXhaustible flow OF anecdotes and good
spirits 10 bear their troubles. At last they
were ordered TO abandon Gallipoli with the
bitter knowledge that all their losses and
sufferings had gone for nothing.
He was wounded at Gallipol, but recov
cred quickly and was mentioned in de-
spatches. He served continuously at this
place from April, 1915, to January, 1916
He was also with his battalion a. Ant.
werp in 1914 and kept it in hand during a
trying retreat He, commanded a regiment
at Salonica in 1916 and after that fought
in France There he was gassed and SER
iously wounded
He spent some time at the Royal Naval
Hospital at Portsmouth recovering from
his injuries. After that. according to the
Brltlsh onlcials, che was allowed to resign
on account of i'll health, but Collins claims
that he is on sick leave
Then Colonel Collins relapsed to the
other phase OF his character. While re-
operating from his injuries he became
very friendly with Captain Douglas Muntz,
member of very wealthy English family,
an officer in the same battalion
Captain Muntz then discovered that
Colonel Collins had exercised over his wife
the deadly fascination that no woman had
ever resisted. MuntZ obtained a divorce,
and since then Collins has married Mrs.
MuntZ.
With his companion Collins drif:ed on
to Bombay, India. This city happens to
be the greatest distributing centre in the
world for fine Oriental pearls. This fact
interested Colonel Collins deeply, and he
prepared to exercise his destinations on
the Hindu pearl dealers.
What happened there can best be under
stood from the charges on which the Brit.
ish Government requested his cxtradi-
ton in New York. In one case it is stated
that he obtained from Mohamed Ali Zamil,
of Bombay, by false pretenses, a black
pearl. valued at $4,000. The extradition
proceeding were brought by G.. Give Bay
ley, the British Consul-General at New
York, and his counsel, Charles Fox.
According to the extradition papers Col.

Parks put an end to this affair.
AT Chicago, in 1913, he posed as lead.

arrested for obtaining SO by means OF q
worthless check from r. r. Thompson. Of
Baltimore. He was tried in Baltimore and
acquitted with an ovation, so agreeably had
his appearance impressed the spectators.
IL was at this period also that he began
his lightning courtship of Miss Amelia
Rumsey Wheeler, daughter of Samuel Fl.
Wheeler, the millionaire sewing machine
manufacturer.
Papa" Wheeler hired corps OF detec-
yves Ill various parts of the country to
stop this union. Once he caught his
daughter at the Pennsylvania Railroad sta

elopc with the Captain. The next time
hey planned to run away and be wed at
