WANTED FINANCIER

ARRESTED IN MEXICO. ALLEGED FRAUDS IN CANADA AND AUSTRALIA. (By Telegraph—Press Association— Copyright) MEXICO CITY, October 25. The police announced the arrest of John Woolcott-Forbes, who is wanted in Australia on 1,500,000-dollar fraud charges, and also in Canada on 500,000dollar fraud charges. Forbes, an Australian financier who made a spectacular career in Melbourne and Sydney in the late 1930’5, was the object of a wide police chase shortly before the war. He was at one time detained in Ceylon, but again vanished. Australian detectives fruitlesly went as far afield as Paris, and Forbes’s disappearance seemed complete. In Australia, proceedings were taken in the case of other persons connected with companies in which Forbes had been financially interested.
