Sailor Substituted by Convicted Crook in Ocean Swindle
Norwegians story untold as Peter A Grimes forged in Shanghai and sent to San Quentin swapped with Alfred Johnson, a Norwegian sailor, in Nagasaki. Johnson, who cannot speak English, recalled waking on a ship between decks after drinks with men who spoke no language. Investigations traced Grimes, aka James H Rodgers, to a prior San Quentin term ending in 1918, and officials compared Johnson’s account with a photo to identify the substitute. Transport officials insist Johnson was delivered at Nagasaki as Grimes.
