There is not enough space to do justice to the exploits of this amazing man. He sold the Eiffel Tower twice, scammed Al Capone out of five thousand dollars, sold money-making machines to countless people, including law enforcement officers, and made his escape from an "escape-proof" jail (leaving a thank-you note in his cell). And those are just a few highlights of his long career in crime. Many in his industry feel that he was the best there ever was.

SUSANNA MILDRED HILL (ca. 1880)

Hill was a con artist who fooled potential suitors. A sixty-year-old mother, she convinced many men that she was a beautiful young woman in her twenties. Hundreds of men sent gifts to their pen pal, victims of a con now known as the Lonely Hearts scam.
