He is one of the worst of criminals, because he imposes upon the credulity of the ignorant, excites their fear by means of sensational scarehead advertising, and then when he has finally lured them into his spider-web, fleeces them unmercifully.

Shying off the scarehead name of Romanoff, he posed as a Fox Film Co. executive.

Disarmed by the Board of Education, she hired two bodyguards, scattered scarehead pamphlets by the thousands, tried to break up meetings of "Reds," invited teachers to join an "American National Socialist Party."
