“HEIRESS” TO SUM
OF £200,000.
WOMAN SAID TO HAVE
DUPED A BARRISTER.
An amazing story of alleged falso pretences by which a young woman obtained various sums of meney by pretending that she was heiress to a wealthy American, and to have tricked a bank man- nger and a barrister into believ ing her was told at Tower Bridge Court.
Detective-sergeant Spash, who arrested Mrs. Joan Crago at Bishops Stortford, said her hus band was a carpenter, and she had represented to him that she was heiress to £200,000,
defend them with Gibbs Dentifrice
Mr. Raphael, prosecuting, said. the woman went to Mr. Scroggie, manager of Barclays Bank, Water- loo-road, and said she was Mrs. Henderson and that she was stay- ing at the York Hotel with her husband on their honeymoon.
She had found out that her hus band had been previously married and that he had now gone off with his wife. She asked if he could tell her of a solicitor she could consult, and asked him to eable her father, Mr. R. C. Michael, Cedar Avenue, Montreal, Canada, and gave him what she said was her father's private code word— "Knormanac."
Believed Her Story.
The manager was so impressed by her story that he sent off a cable "Daughter stranded. Frank already married. Cable money and instructions. Urgent."
Mr. Scroggle. said his wife would be pleased to entertain the woman, said counsel, and told her to go back to the hotel, park her things, and telephone him when she was ready and he would come and help her to his house.
She then said: "I hope they won't charge me for using the telephone, as I have no money." He gave her 10s. She went off, supposedly to pack her things and Mr. Scroggle never saw or heard of her till now.

On another occasion she went to Mr. Campbell Les, a barrister, of Brickcourt, Temple, and said that the American Consul, Mr. Carrol, had recommended her to come to him as she was' in diff culties about her father's will.
Parted With £54.
She said that her father and mother had been killed in a motor accident the previous August. She gave her husband's name, as Horace Crago and said, that her father had left her £100,000, to say nothing of four houses. .....
On various occasions Mr. Lee, who believed she was an heiress, helped her. In all he parted with £54.
The prosecution contends, said Mr. Raphael, that these stories are untrue and that the money was obtained by false pretences. The woman was remanded.

What are claimed to be tools used by John Bunyan when he worked as a tinker with his father at Elatow, Bedfordshire, his birth- place, were shown by Mr. A. Evans, a prominent local resident. Unknown to the world, these tools have been in the possession of the Evans family for 100 years as treasured heirlooms, and have just been given to Mr. Evans by his father, who lives at High Wycombe, and is in failing health. The tools, which bear the rust of age, but are in good working condition, comprise:-
A pair of snips (used for cut-..
ting tin);
A soldering iron (for solder.
ing kettles, &c.);
A "roundhead (for shaping and sauce-
the lids of kettles
pans), and
A tinker's anvil,
On one of the blades of the' snips, which resemble grass-cut- ting instruments, are chiselled in block letters what is able to be deciphered as J. Bunya.
Mr., Evans, however, said that he could decipher final N quité plainly. He also stated that the name J. Bunyan is quite legible on the anvil, under a magnifying glass.
With the anked eye the J. can be seen distinctly.
Mr. Evans said that his great- grandfather, who, died at the age of 101, brought the tools into the family.
"Bunyan," he said, "got into debt in his wilder days at a tavern at Elstow, and could not get any. more drinks. So he presented the landlord with his tools, n

"No one in the family has ever doubted that they are the tools Bunyan used. The anvil, quite possibly, was made by Bunyan! himself.
