FAMOUS IMPOSTOR AS A BISHOP. )EFRAL"DS CON'V LINTS AND PRE LATES. BFLIF.YEI) TO HAVE BEEN" RE CEIYEI) BY THE POPE. ROME. January 16. A sensat ioiial arrest ot a well-known > (tender who as a fashionable pre ate has beui made here. The police were confidentially intorm:d from Paris, Berlin, and \ ienna that ins mail, who described himself as 'Monsignor de Savinge," al| d > s also mown as "Pi-ins di Belnronte," and was it the present time in Rome, and was subjected of being a notorious swindler lamed Giovanni Battifta Guidi, who has 3een convicted at Pisa of swindling reigious institutions, and obtaining money under false pretences from the heads ol religious orders The police arrested the man, and he was identified yesterday evening. At the same time the police confiscated his lug gage at the hotel. It included \avious documents and letters, vestments, jewellery, and t hotographs of the Pope and of several cardinals bearing autographs. HE CONFESSES. Giudi has confessed that he was not a priest, but as he was provided with Unnecessary certificates from the Bishon ot Xovara he was enabled to successtuly pus;: as a priest. He regularly celebrated Mr-ss and pontificated at religious services at several convent.*, where he even heard the confessions of the nuns. Giudi succeeded in swindling many high eccelesiastics in Rome. He persuaded them to cash cheques on his overdrawn account at the bank. Ilis victims include several cardinals, and, it is suspected, the Pope also, as the police found a photograph in the man's possession representing hirt near the Pope, thus showing that Giurii hail been admitted to the Vatican. The Pope is unlikely to prosecute, and hence the accused's exploits at the Yat::r.n will not leak out. AT FC REST-GATE. After his first confession Giudi realised the necessity of silence and selfdefenoe. Hence he told the police not to expect his aid towards the discovery of his numerous alleged swindles, both in Italy and abroad, including that on the Franciscans, at Forest-gate. London. The police are now carefully e.xamin ing Giudi's voluminous correspondence, including many letters from England, and are striving to discover his criminal antecedents. Already' it has been ascertained that Giudi served two years at Pisa, where he swindled the Prior of the Carthusians out of £400; and also six months in Paris quite recently, where an official oi the Republic admitted that Giudi was the smartest swindler he ever saw. The Vatican authorities are significantlv reticent.
