AMAZING CREDULITY.
YOUTH'S CAREER ON CREDIT. LONDON, October 3. The metoric career of a youth, Harold Ray Milner, has left the residents of Holbeck, Leeds, thunderstruck at their own amazing credulity. Arriving "from nowhere" six weeks ago, Milner formed a partnership with a local business man, and bought a theatre, a mansion, furniture, costly plate, and a motor-car. He wooed the local beauty, Kathleen Jarvis, married her in the parish church, and then deserted her during the honeymoon in London, leaving her penniless.
.Milner's final exploit, and his greatest, was to obtain an advance from a London money-lender on the-strength of a mythical' inheritance. A London "Daily Mail" investigator, found the bride and Milner's partner commiserating with one another before a pile of bills amounting to thousands of pounds.
