CAREER OF A SPY.
NEWSPAPER DISCOVERIES
THEFT AND FORGERY.
(Received June 15, 12.30 a.m.)
London, June 14. • Enquiries have been made by the London Daily Mail into the career of Ignatius Tribich, alias Lincoln, who was a member of the House of Commons, as representative of Darlington, in 1910, and who is now publishing confessions in New York newspapers of spying. These inquiries show that Tribich was guilty of theft from a Jewish mission in the East End and forgery of a bill which a money lender cashed. Tribich failed in 1911, his liabilities being £17,118. Mr. Seebohm Rowntree, the social reformer, was a creditor for £7500. Mr. Rowntree employed Tribich to make investigations of social conditions on the Continent.
