ADVERTISING A NOVEL.
THE AUTHOR PUNISHED. (Received 10.25 a.m.) LONDON, July 28. Peter Ganter, of Munich, who was arrested on a charge of attempted fraud, has been sentenced to 12 months' for a hoax in booming his novel "Double Faces and Morality." On December 21 Peter Ganter was arrested at Munich on a charge of attempted fraud. With a view to booming a novel, he addressed to half a million people a private letter, illegibly signed, purporting to emanate from a friend, describing the novel as a gross scandal to morals. Booksellers were besieged and insulted by eager inquirers because the book had not yet arrived.
