He wee a grandson of Mr. Balfour, who lived in Port Huron, and was spending his holi- days on the Wm. DrMtieND OTIARLrn TAinen.--The read. ere of Tau POST will remember the 55n - Elation which the arrest of Abe Roths- child, alias Diamond Charlie, and his big fight against extradition caused' in Toronto a year ago. His method, it will be remembered, was to personate a wealthy, well known man, and have vain. able jewelry Bent him for inspection and probable puroltase. After swindling several panadian jewellers by the same mebhpd es he had pursued' in the States, Rotbsobild went to St. Mary'saud adopt. ing the name of Hatton, being that of a prominent jewelry merchant of that town he wrote several Toronto jewelers, asking them to forward him for inspect- ion several diamond rings. Most of those whom he addressed, blinded by the name of the rich man, fell into the trap, but the 3, E. Ellie Company sent the letter reoeived by them to Inspector Stark, of the Deteotivs Department. Under the iuspeotor's direction, bogus jewelry boxes were made up and sent to St. Mary's, just as the letter requested. The same train carried one of the in- spector's men, who, on arriving at St. Mary's, went to the express office and there waited his man. In an boar, Rothschild appeared, was arrested, and taken to Toronto. There ha was defend- ed by E. F. B. Johnston, who fought bis ease through several courts, finally eon - senting to extradition on the agreement that only two charges against his client should be pressed. As the felonies known to have been committed by Roths- child were many, this was found to be a good arraugement for the prisoner. The reseal has met his deserts at last and bis present address is the Miesonri State Penitentiary, where he is serving a four year's term for forgery. The New York Telegram pnblisbee a lengthy history of Rothsobild's oriminel career, Roths- child is 45 years old and was born in Oinainuatti, where his family, reputable and wealthy still reside. He first became couspicuoas in 1877 when an attempt at self-destruction led to his arrest on a charge of murder, which later became a cause oelebre in the history of myster. bus murders. Robhsohild's people spent thousands of dollars to save him from the gallows and he was acquitted. He then turned his attention to swindling of various sorts and bas operated in almost every quarter of the United States. Covers the Whole Field. THE LONDON, ONT., BIS x:;t London, Advertiser 2 P. M.
