“LIE AFTER LIE”
WOMAN’S SHOCKING FRAUDS Pleading "Guilty" to defrauding a woman of 73. of sums totalling £1.500. Annie Forman, aged 61, described by the police as a woman with "a fearful record,’’ was at London Sessions sentenced to three years’ penal servitude. Mr R. E. Seaton, for the prosecution, said that Forman went into the knitting shop of a Miss Florence Edith Hodgins in search of work. She told Miss Hodgins that she had broken her spectacles, and the shop keeper advanced her , money to have them repaired. Forman returned the loan, but later, realising Miss Hodgins was a generous-hearted woman, she told her lie after lie and got various sums of money out of her. Mrs Hodgins had parted with all the money ■ she had, and for the first time in her life was in debt.
