Sixty Wives and a One-Armed Swindler in New York
A sensational tale follows James Taylor alias Langdon Benton and twenty other names as he swindles women across states while posing as a wealthy western rancher. Sixty wives are reported, with Miss Henrietta Coste vowing vengeance after losing 350 pounds and a diamond ring. Police traced his marriages from New York to Pennsylvania and beyond, as victims step forward and courts uncover the rogue’s gallery. The piece ends noting the German emperor’s moral crusade and crowded Berlin prisons.
