John Dessaner Swindled Men at Delphi, Frankfort and Tipton. Delphi, Ind., April s.—John Dessauer, saying he represented the Edward Rose Company, tailors, of Chicago, on March 18 succeeded in obtaining several orders from business men here for clothing. The man required a cash deposit of from $5 to $8 on each order. He had an order book and samples from the firm, and easily led on his victims, some of whom had previously dealt with the firm and never questioned Des- , sauer’s connection with the Chicago tailors. A week later each of the victims was notified that his order had been received but no cash with it, and the information that Dessauer was not their agent. The police here were informed, and immediately got on the track of the impostor, who went from here to Frankfort, where he operated the same scheme, going from there to Tipton. Policeman Hubbard, of this place, received word Saturday that the police at. Tipton nad arrested a man answering the description of Dessaueh »When Hubbard peached Tipton he found that the man, whom he identified as Daraauer, had committed suicide by taking morphine.

Effort is being made to reach the sender of the package. \
