Lamar was convicted Dec. 3, 1914, and sen- tenced for two years to the Atlanta Penitentiary.

A congressman is a federal official, says the highest court Lamar must pay the toll for hi: personation. Lamar first landed in Atlanta 1891.

For this he was tried, but having, like the origin- al Wallingford, kept ‘““within the law,” the case against him was dismissed His next Atlanta venturc was an ident insurance company for rail- workers, and elaborate offices ovened. He secured .a bank credit, it is said, by use of a bogus check and induced a young society man of Atlanta to buy a half interest for $7,600. The insurance soon fail- ed and Lamar had all the money.

While the bailiff waited, Lamar dined and chatted and laughed, as if nothing was about to happen. On the way to the police station, Lamar stepped into a telegraph office and left papers without being detect- ed. Subsequently the papers were turned over to his wife without the officers knowing it. While under ar- rest, Lamar paid a bailiff ten dollars a day to guard him and walk about the streets with him. Lamar also beat this case in the courts. Having about “worked” Atlanta to the limit, Lamar left and went 1o Mobile, where he “bought” the wa- terworks and the street car company. After pocketing a few thousands he also got out of the deal. But times were too slow for him in the south. He went to New York, where he be- came the secretary of Russell Sage, the multi-millionaire. He went on Wall street, won prizes with his fine horses and lived high.
