valise containing valuables has been
concealed outside of Spain, the. con
tents to be left to an only daughter
and the American relative.
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." The writer of the
letter claims relationship with the
person addressed and explains that a
