David A Wardell: Confidence Man, Swindler

 David A Wardell was born about 1880. He had a few alias, here's the one's I've found,

David Coleman, Donald Coleman & C. A. Phillips

All the articles are from March 1913.

He had a wife and child in San Francisco I did not find them, he married Laura Crew I did not find their marriage certificate, yes there would be one even though it was not a legal marriage. I also tried to find his newspaper advertisement for a secretary but couldn't find it either. I checked all his alias and found no records. But what a story, imagine if he would of gotten away with it, but Laura got at least $3,000 of her money back and she will not be trusting no fella for a while.
