Should the American reply, he later receives a letter from "the chaplain" stating that the prisoner Is dead and that a certain sum is required to re lease the prisoner's baggage, includ ing the mysterious valise.. Fortunately when the correspondence reaches this point the "American relative" usually becomes curious and as a result the embassy in Madrid and the consulates throughout Spain have a flood of cor respondence on the subject. In other cases, the victim takes the bait withont question and parts with his money, or even worse still, goes to the expense of traveling to Spain to pay the required sum to release the valise and claim bis share of the con. tents. In the latter case the swindler is generally brought to book, for the Spanish police are on the lookout and the presence of a stranger looking for lost relatives arouses their suspicions. Recently an American arrived In Madrid with a certified check to claim his share of a prisoner's estate. The Spanish police put him in prison, un til he could be convinced that he had been the victim of a clever swindler. It took all the eloquence of an Ameri can consul to do this and induce the man to return home. HOARY GAME GETS BOOBS "Spanish Prisoner" Yet Manages His Ancient Pastime. MADRID, Dec. 20. The "Spanish swindle" has shown its head again. America has been inundated with let ters from "a dying prisoner, perse cuted by political enemies, only able to communicate with the outside world through the kindness ofi a prison chaplain."
