INSURANCE FRAUD.
MURDER PLOT EXPOSED. United Press Association—By lElectil* Telegraph—Copyright BUCHAREST, April 8. A remarkable new life insurance fraud followed the finding of a merchant, Rudolf Steinser, dying with his head battered, on a railway embankment. He refused on his death-bed to disclose his assailant, and suspicion was aroused, as though impecunious, he had insured his life for £12,000 in favour of his wife. It was then discovered that the dead man had hired a young upholsterer, Fischel, to murder him for a consideration of £IOOO, but the address that was given for the collection of the money proved a bogus one. Fischel’s only reward was Steinser’s gold watch. Fischel was tracked to Vienna, where he confessed to the plot and was arrested.
