Monte Carlo Plunger Revival Sparks Extradition Case
Paris January 20 The arrest of Lucien Rivier in England, who hid as banker amid Paris swindles, recalls Charles Wells the man who broke Monte Carlo. Wells, 70, famed for multiyear swindles, bought the Harbinger for 50 000 pounds and awaits extradition with his sweetheart. He once earned 160 999 dollars in July 1891 and 149 000 in November following, earning the nickname Bonne Chance Wells. He served six years for false pretences, including 106 000 from Miss Phillimore, and used proceeds to buy the Palais Royal and the Monte Carlo wins. Henry Labouchere’s Truth exposed him.
