He was treated as a man of good character and bound over. He had also been convicted of con spiracy and fraud, stealing money, and obtaining money by false, pre- tences. Until last June his wife had no idea of his true character.
"He is a persistent and plausible rogue, and he has a propensity for defrauding women," said witness. "He defrauded a' woman of £1,800 by a long story about his previous history."
It was alleged by the prosecution that Stephenson formed a news- paper company called the Grey- hound Racing Newspapers (1927) Ltd., and that he obtained the money from Hirsch on the strength of worthless debentures?
