BRITISH DUPED BY
- AN ADVENTURESS
Men Led to Civc Life Savings Ic
Girl and to Desert Her
at Altar.
NOT EVEN BEAUTIFUL
Found Smaller Towns of England
Were Fruitful Fields for Her
Operations—Faked War
Adventures.
Eondon.—A rare and picturesque
person—an adventuress who was not
beautiful—has finally brought her
ttultitudinous and'successful ventures
to tlie attention of the British police
after many years of perfectly safe
operation.
She is known as Masle Crawford,
and she found the smaller towns of
England all too ready to believe the
old dictum that Americans must in
evitably be wealthy, for her most suc
cessful operations were conducted
playing these parts:
Daughter and heiress of Harry
Thaw.
Wife of George Crawford, American
millionaire, whom she divorced in or
der to marry his brother.
Widow of Walter Crawford, the
brother, who died leaving a peculiar
will stipulating that site should mar
ry “outside the family.”
To Desert at Altar.
A working man, who was helping
tlie girl obtain the mythical fortune
t of Walter Crawford, mythical Ameri
can millionaire, by agreeing to mar
ry her, and leave her at tlie church
door, thus complying with the terms
of the will, brought downfall and po
lice investigation.
As tilt daughter of Harry Thaw,
Masie Crawford had moved through
many English towns, finding welcome
and easy money from some of the
hardest fisted folk of the British
« Islands.
Despite the fact that she is slender,
of childish figure, with a slight hump
on her back and small features, she
was able, by bt^lliant conversational
gifts and a bearing that spok^ “class”
at every minute to win Instant belief
no matter how fictitious her “life”
happened to be at the moment.
She was always beautifully dressed
and she passed through so many va
rious “characters” in the course of
her swindling expeditions that the
most careful police investigations after
.1 nu ■
She Was Able to Win Instant Belief.
> her arrest have failed to reveal a
single tangible fuct regarding her real
Identity and antecedents.
Throughout she looked and acted the
part she played.
Faked War Adventures.
The girl descended upon Woking'In
-Surrey, In military uniform, brimful
of daredevil adventures at the front
as driver of staff curs and of ma
chines which hod taken secret mes
sengers on many dangerous missions:
Back of this was Walter Crgwford
aud his peculiar will. She was des
titute. Her properties in Canada
would bring huge sums if she could
realize on "them. Wonderful how many
perfectly sane persons helped her!
Her landlady even mortgaged her
home. A garage owner depleted his
bank account and borrowed because
he was to marry her and part at the
church door and get $2,500 a year for
life for parting.
