		+	Here is a rogues' gallery of Canadian scallawags, nimble in the art of embezzling, swindling, spying and gold-digging, presented by Frank Rasky, Editor of "Liberty", Canada's largest monthly national magazine. Among these rogues, who usually perform with charm and a prankish imagination, are:
		+
		+	* Count Alexander Navarro Fernandez, the royal impostor from Montreal, who bilked hundreds of business men and was interned by the Mounties in New Brunswick as a spy; the rascal is still masquerading under his forty-seven different noms de crime, especially as the illegitimate son of King Alfonso of Spain.
		+
		+	* A nervy Torontonian, Ralph M. Wilby, who applied for a job as an accountant at "Libery" Magazine, but neglected to mention that he'd embezzled $400,000 from his former employers, and never breathed a word about his peculations to his three wives.
		+
		+	* Herbert James McAuliffe, the absent-minded farceur from North Bay and Windsor, Ontario, who attempted the get-rich-slow scheme of counterfeiting fifty-cent Canadian coins.
		+
		+	* Cassie Chadwick, the gold-digging Lorelei Lee of Eastwood, Ontario, who hoaxed her elegant way into a loot of over a million dollars by claiming to be the illegitimate daughter of Andrew Carnegie.
		+
		+	* The whiskey-swigging atom bomb spies who were netted thanks to the secret code clerk in Ottawa, Igor Gouzenko.
		+
		+	* Ferdinand Waldo Demara, Jr., nicknamed "Ferdinand The Bull-Thrower", who bambozzled the entire Canadian Navy by masquerading as a surgeon.
		+
		+	* And Edward ("Brother-Twelve") Wilson, the swindling swami of British Columbia, who played god and lover to his female disciples, then absconded with their gold offerings secreted in strawberry jam jars.
