Hammond in the Toils The Clerical Brand Caveat in New Orleans
William Hammond, sought in multiple Northern cities and abroad, was arrested in New Orleans after authorities followed tips from Franklin Falls New Hampshire. He confessed identity, portraying himself as a persecuted victim of the press, with a long pattern of fraudulent marriages and theft across Australia, New Zealand, Hawaii, California, Maine, New York and Indiana dating back to the 1860s. He had posed as a minister and doctor in various towns, married several women, and fled after various deceptions, with police now pursuing further charges.
