CONFIDENCE TRICKSTERS.
/ DRAMATIC ARREST MADE. A ROMANTIC CAREERBy Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received March 9, 11,40 p.m. London, -March 8. The Daily Chronicle reports a dramatic development in Scotland Yard’s hunt for a gang of confidence tricksters who in 1921 carried out a fraud involving £25,000. London detectives arrived at Dublin and took over John Bernard, whom the Irish police arrested at Carelile pier, Kingstown, when about to board a mail boat. Bernard is an Australian, thirty-five years of age. He has had a romantic career. He has been staying at a fashionable hotel in Dublin, where, it is alleged, he and a confederate fleeced wealthy people. The men also played split ace and Anzae poker on the racecourse. When five others of the gang were sentenced Bernard was in France. Later he went to Italy, Spain and Portugal, but t-he Irish police recognised him from a description and so arrested him.—Aus.-N.'Z.
