Robbed American in London Deceived by Two Con Men

An American visitor, Mr. Erne Bakewell of Ohio, was robbed of 1000 pounds by two con men in Grays. Posing as a rich pair, they gained Bakewell’s trust, escorted him to a bank to draw funds, then lured him into a scheme. They vanished with the money after a staged show of wealth. Scotland Yard knows the suspects but Bakewell left England before arrest, making prosecution unlikely.
