A year’s imprisonment was the sentence on Mohammed Raschild, the so-called Emir of Kurdistan, who was charged with illegally wearing French military decorations and carrying a false passport. It was reevaled that-his real name is Jay Bronson, who was deported from Switzerland and from England last year, where he served terms of imprisonment for fraud and had also been imprisoned in Franco-Germany. The arrest at nice was the result of making himself conspicuous on the promenade on a fine charger before an admiring crowd, wearing a gorgeous uniform and numerous decorations, including the Legion of Honour and Allied war badges. He possessed a remarkable diplomatic passport purporting to give certain powers on behalf of Kurdistan. Bonson was formerly a tailor in Chicago and subsequently posed as a son of the Emir Abdulla and accompanied by a lady with a diamond in her nose was received by President Harding.
