fine for NC.
Mrs. Steurer was born in Alsace- Lor-

old. Her husband was captain in
the Union Army, and died during tho
Civil War. Mrs. Steurer spoke N9nch

came quite proficient. She loved chill

admired her

1t is believed however, that he is

Fracticing abroad and here are Ameri-

KIND. The standing which Cox and
supposed sccomplice have managed to
attain abroad enables them, it is said,
to utilize even the gold brick and sick
engineer games. which, even though
their fame has got abroad. would not
be suspected when suavely played by
Cox and Pincott.
Dupe Picks Out Photographs
Skogtadt made his complaint to
tectives and picked out Coxs photo-
graph in the files Of that institution.
In the belief that Cox was then in the
United States, the banker notified the
New York correspondent Of his bank
and thus the Burns agencY, detectives
for the American Bankers Association,
were placed on the case.
The Burns agency found that Plncott
had had the humilating experience Of
being convicted of disorderly conduct
here in December, 1913, and sentenced
to six months IN the workhouso. He
found the environment quite dlstast te-
full and spent only short time there.
January 2. 1914, his attorney got him
out on writ, and while waiting for
his case to be called Pncott walked
out of court and out of the ken of the
police.
Pincott, Cox and Skorstadt were stay

ber. 1921. it is said, when the banker s
charming new friends got him inter
