Imposture to Secure a Fortune A curious drama, that would be almost incredible except in a cinema theatre, has just been brought to light in Paris by the arrest of three women and a man on charges arising out of the sale of two tin children for 500 francs, and the use of one of them to bolster up an attempt to secure an inheritance.
Last June, in consequence of village gossip, the Mayor of Montlig. non, a little place of 800 inhabitants, near Paris, informed the police of the suspicious disappearance of twin babies, the children of a man vained Comet and his wife. The latter, on being interrogated by the police, stated that in 'February, 1918, they gob into communication with a Mme. de Loris, living Paris, who wrote promising to give their month-old twin baby boys a home. Soon after, de Letis and another woman,' closely veiled, met the Cornets at a wayside railway station, took charge of kobies, slipped notes for 500 francs into the mother's hand, and immediately disappeared.
