Used Fraud to Gain for Charity.

A strange psychological phenomenon is disclosed in the case of Sister Candide, a French nun who was recently convicted of swindling Parisian jewelers In order to raise money for charity. She systematically secured jewels of great value and then pawned them, using the money thus raised — over >1,600,000 in all —to carry on var rlous charitable enterprises. She apparently did not realize the gravity of her offense, and sentence was suspended by the court.
