SERIES OF FRAUDS.
Australian Imprisoned for One Year. LONDON, January 4. Reginald Channell, thirty-five years old, with an Australian criminal record dating from 1921, mostly for false pretences, and with several convictions in England, has been sentenced to imprisonment for one year by a Southampton magistrate as a sequel to a long series of frauds. v In hotels and to tradesmen and acquaintances Channell posed as a naval officer. Later he told police that he had been treated in Sydney for addiction to drugs. “ My only asset has been the bluff to carry on until my allowance came from relatives in Australia.” He claimed to have been a pilot in the Royal Air Force.
