ELABORATE FRAUDS. ! . ! Baronet's Sister said to have \ ; been Fleeced of £10,000. \ Amazing allegations were made at Lan- | ] caster at tho resumed hearing of tlie i ' charges against John Daniel Thomas, f-aiJ ! to be a 8.A., Arthur Hicks, alias Pern- i ljiM'tou, and Charles Wilson, of Manehed- ' ter, of conspiring to defraud Mi.ss Ellen Sarah Ann Tomlinson, tho sister of Sir W. E. M. Tomlinson, Bart, ex-M.P. for ft ' Preston, and residing^ at Heysham H)m, f Morecambe. Tliere were further eha -«»••.-* 1 of obtaining two cheques, value ,£SO each, 1 I by false pretences on August 14th, and I ;ilho of having attempted to obtain ny | q false pretences the further sum ot .i'lo'j on August 15th. 0 Mr. Levcester, for the proseciition, said q Miss Tomlinson was a lady possessed of conC ( sidcrablc means. She was of a charitable nature, and she had been the nat ii\ii pn y q of persons like the prisoners. Wilson hail been making appeals to her for si^cn years. He represented himself to be cong nected with the theatrical prof-:^s-..n. ar.d q to be painting special scenery which lie expected to sell for ,£I4OO. Miss Tonilin(j son advanced him many cheques, and lie professed his intention to repay her -when q .some ecenery which he had at Dover was o sold. 0 Hicks, or Pemberton, came on the scene, 3 said counsel, in November, 190G, benig 0 described as "Wilson's financier, who "was j g nettling 1 his affairs." Thomas wah intio- j 3 duced in a similar capacity in London, ! where they met on the Thames Embank- I ment, in June lp.fet. I Wilson then professed to have sold his s< euory for the Haymarket Theatre, and to have received £250, which was iv the Chancery Lano Safe Deposit. Thomas said Pemberton was a brother-in-law, and had a lien on the scenei-v, which Wilson could not get paid for till it was released. In one interview ho said Miss Tomlinson would irccivc nBISOO for -n-liat ©be had jdvjucrd to Wilson. A cheque for .£3O was given to buy [ out the garnishes, and Wilson wont off to draw the money at Chancery Lane, tlie [ others following. Miss Tomlinson saw noth- I ■ ing more of them tiH she returned to Hey1 sham House on July 29. 'ihen Tlionia.askod for an interview in a. letter, which j stated that all the fcenery was sold ami , practically paid for. Thomas produced | - a telegram purporting 1 to be signed by the I • joint manager of Lloyd's Bank to Iho I : effect that had been paid to Mw - Tonuinson's account. i A TRIP TO CANADA. i i That telegram, counsel proceeded, Mas ' forged. Thomas fhen said Wihon was I goiug to Canada to his brother, but he 1 wanted JEIOO, as' they had found out Ilud Wilson had no money in Chancery Lane ; as had been stated, and they wanted to i pet him out of the country. Mhb Tom1 linson gave two cheques for ,£SO, -which were cashed by Thomas at Morecambe. J Next day he wired from Liverpool to • say that Wilson refused to go to Canada > unless he got another ,£IOO, and that he | had created a scene on the land-stage. ; This was false. All the prisoners, according to counsel, tried to get further sums, but Miss Tomlinson was not victim1 ised fm-fhor. It was ascertained that Wil- , son's passage was never booked. 1 Eventually the police telegraphed to ; Thomas' last address on August 22nd. and ; Pemberton came for a telegram on September Ist, and was arrested. Wilson J was arrested on the same day at Manchesj ter, and said he had been the tool of the [ tothers. Thomas was arrested at Ipswich. ' Counsel in conclusion. said thai. . while very lai'ge sums had been obtained , from the lady (at the last hearing .£IO,OOO s was said to be involved), they would only , deal with the later amounts, i Miss Tomlinson gave evidence at considj erable length in support of counsel's state. . ment. In reply to- the prisoners she said Wilson had used Pemberton's name be- [ fore she met Pemberton. Thomas denied , seeing Miss Tomlinson before July 2nd. > and said the suggestion about the sale of ■ ecenery did not come from him. > A clerk at Lloyd's Bank, Law Courts • branch, said that no sum of 4J1400 had , ever been paid in by the prisoners, and i that a telegram purporting to be bigned ■ by the' manager was forged. ) The Bench agreed that tliere was ;i prima facie case of conspiracy, but dc- ', 'lined to commit the prisoners fo" trial t L oa t!ie other charges until evidence was , " ' called showing who presented the forged , ' telegram, and until shipping witnes-os J ■ proved that no passages were bocked to ■ Canada. ! | The case Avas accordingly adjourned.
