Blenheim’s latest, practical joker is n senseless individual with a perverted sense of humor who makes use of the telephone to hoax casual victims. Among his recent exploits on which he is probably congratulating himself, was a message to a mother to the effect that her son had been killed in an accident, and a further message to the old lady that her husband, who was in town with a voung grandchild, was helplessly drunk. Steps are being taken in an endeavor to trace the source of these cruel and senseless messages.
