CLERGY DUPED BY WOMAN
An elderly woman has been obtaining money from London clergymen under curious circumstances. About fifty years of age, with grey hair, respectably dressed and well spoken, her method has been to call at the vicarage, represent herself as a parishioner, and tell a pitiful story of having stolen money from her employer, which she was unable to repay, adding that she was afraid that if 6he did not do so she would be arrested. In more than one instance the woman has succeeded in obtaining the money on a promise of early repayment, but inquiries have shown that she was unknown at the address she had given.
