In spite of lavish dlftji and very ardent courting, however, his Interest was not reciprocated at least not at the Set l'p Cabaret for Josephine.

Prieur learned that the dusky Josephine wanted a cabaret all her own. Working his sufferers of fake Injuries double time produced the money, He bought out another cabaret manaRer, redecorated 1'ie place, named it Chez Josephine ane" offered the Harlem Salome a fat salary to serve as hontess.

Dil fakes, wounds made of wax and rouge which, though painless, were quite terrifying enough in appearance to iriphten insurance adjusters Into making fat settlements. These the doctor divided with his patients.

Had Professional Patients. He had feveral professional patients who made a living by being permanently bedridden, under different names, in each of his hospitals in turn, while the doctor bled Insurance companies for medical expenses and compensation. In the case of real wounds It was the practice of the physician and his nurses to retard healing by irritating the injuries. To let the patients get well too quickly would place them beyond the possibility of collecting insurance money. Corps of "Chasers" Employed.
