THE MYSTERIOUS "MR A."
IDENTITY ANNOUNCED. (Press Association. —Copyright.) (Received 11.40 a.m.) London, December 3. "Mr A" is Sir Hari Singh, nephew of the Maharajah of Kashmir. ("Mr A," the mysterious Indian potentate, is the central figure in a ease in which a man named Robinson, a bookmaker, claimed from tho Midland Bank the sum of £125,000, tho balance of a sum of £150,000 paid by "Mr A" in order to avoid a scandal connected with Robinson's wife. The defendant bank contended that the money in dispute had been handed in by three conspirators in the scandal—the potentate's aide-tie-camp, a lawyer's clerk named Hobbs, and a man named Newton, each of whom drew on the amount lodged.)
