WOMAN'S ALLEGED FRAUD ON POOR
WIDOW OF SEVENTY
(From our own correspondent)
Wolverhampton, Saturday - A 70-year-old widow, who parted with 3s. 6d. to a woman who was alleged to have posed as a cousin of Gordon Richards, the jockey, was reimbursed from the poor-box at Wolverhampton to-day.
In the dock appeared Dorothy Maud Davies, 24, of Deansfield-road, Wolverhampton, charged with obtaining 3s. 6d. from Charlotte Lampitt by false pretences.
It was stated that Mrs. Lampitt's income was only 14s. a week.
The 3s. 6d. was alleged to have been obtained on the strength of a story that Davies was looking for a relative with whom she was sharing £200 death benefit.
It was to cover bus fares and a telephone call to Manchester.
Davies was remanded for a week with a view to being sent to a home.
