An Mysterious Passenger Among Paddington Express
A passenger recalls a strange man with long hair who boards at Paddington and asks to have his hair cut. The man later reveals a disguise as a 64 year old clerical figure and escapes after a dramatic exchange. The Times later reports the man committed large London forgeries and vanished on an express.
