CUNNING FORGER
SWALLOWED SPOON HANDLES
CHARGED WITH STEALING PRISON PROPERTY.
BERLIN, Jan. 23
The forger, Adolf Moritz, has many times obtained release from gaol as the result of swallowing spoons in preference to hunger striking, but the authorities thought they would thwart him by providing g'ant spoons with specially long handles. Moritz again became ill and four spoons were missing. An X-ray examination showed that he had swallowed the handles. The authorities performed an operation, after which Mritz was charged with stealing prison property.—A.N.Z.C.A.
