According to news received! from Zurich, the American fashienable swindler, Geneveva Paddle-ford, who was well known in Vienna, has been arrested in the former' place. On November 12 two ladies put up at a Zurich hotel, one of whom registered as Healy, born in London, and tre other as R. B. Bley, born in Vancouver. The elder lady maintained that she was momentarily in need of funds and managed to get out from-the owner of the hotel Frs. 160; as security she tendered a valuable looking ring. However, the ring proved to be worthless, and when the ladies attempted to depart without, having paid their hotel bill, they were placed in custody.
They insisted that their names were Milicent and Mary Mac-Henley, but it was soon ascertained that the one woman was Mrs.
Paddieford, while the other was her step-daughter.
After having gained their liberty at Lucerne (7) Mrs. Paddleford must have undertaken a veritable trip round the world, judging by the numerous vises fon her passport. According the entries in her passport she has been sojourning in Japan, in China (staying for an extended period at Shanghai), at Colombo and in Egypt. On September 17 of this year she landed at Naples, from where she travelled through all Italy, always: accompauiad by her daughter. Then the Indies paid extended visits to England, France and Germany.
How they have passed their time in those countries and whence came the moans necessary for such travels will probably be revealed at the preliminary trial.
