'The Turf Frauds' — Harry Benson

Leslie Ward ('Spy') places confidence trickster Harry Benson in what appears to be a witness box or dock, hands clasped over a book, his orange convict's uniform marked with the broad-arrow stamps of British penal servitude. The caption 'the Turf Frauds' names the scandal: Benson and accomplice William Kurr had swindled a French countess out of thousands through a bogus racing tipster scheme, exposing shocking corruption within the Metropolitan Police in the process. Ward's caricature depicts Benson with exaggerated sallow skin and flattened features.
