Identity of a Paris finacier veiled by a detective tale
Chief Goron and his diaries trace the Paris swindler Karstens case to financier Charles Vernet and ex-con Simon. An undercover plan uses photography dealer Berger and a public demonstration of Bertillon measurements to reveal identities at a Madame S- soiree. The story ends with Vernet summoned and potential exposure.
