ADVENTURER ARRESTED
LONDON, September 15.
The Daily Telegraph's Berlin correspondent tells an amazing story of the arrest of an aristocratic-looking swindler posing as a marquis, but who is in reality a son of the late Professor Klimm, of the Budapest Technical University. The prisoner is a sort of modern Barry Lyndon. He inherited £4OOO, and then joined an international gang of sharpers. He eloped with two fashionable infatuated girls, and married one of them in London.
The German police are inquiring regard ing bigamy and other charges.
