Locker-Lampson, Conservative M.P. for Handsworth, and then disappeared after impersonating his employer and stealing various articles.
a Locker Lampson to a Daily Mail reporter said :—
My husband engaged the man through London registry. He had splendid references and on writing to verify them we received replies that we could. consider ourselves fortunate in securing the services of such an accomplished. butler. These repkes were evidently forged by the man himself.
He gave his name as Clifford Clarke: and I now know that his previous em ployer was a woman living at Kingston
