It was mentioned in Tax Sta some days ago that the alleged pension swindler, Charles Baker, who was arrested at Wilkesbarre, Pa., was given a Dnal hearing before United States Commissioner Han, in that city, and that four cases were Drought against Lin, all from Wayne county, where he has been operating for sometime. The ‘specific charge in each case was !mpersonating a Ftbatenity official for the purpose of defrauding. ‘he prosecutors were Mrs. Cynihla Rhodes, Mrs. C. W. Batley, Martua Northcote and William 'L. Carr. A Philadelpnia Press special trom Willkesbarre Says: Baker had visited each of these, represented hiinself as an examiner of the Pension bureau under Col Dudiey, demanded tiueir papers and cerufi- cates, and,’ after examining them, pronounced them fraudulent or inaccurate and demanded sums of money ranging from §25 to $100 to fix them and settle the cases “In the ease of Mrs. Rhodes, he in duced her to start with him for Philadelphia, to appear before the pension commissioner, taking along with her $20, which be said would be needed to settic the case. He told Mrs. Builiey that it would take $500 or $600 to reissue her papers and make them legul, and threatened her with prosecu- Uon unless she Went with him to Philadelphia and began proceedings. She refused to take any steps in the matter. Ex-Judge Harding appeared for the prisoner, and argued that he had merely been making inquiries to discover overcharges made by pension agents, United States District Attorney Stone, of Pittsburg, contended that clear cases of violation of the law passed last April had been shown, and this view was taken by the commissioner, who held Baker in. $3,000 ball in each cuse. At the conclusion of these cases he was arraigned before United States Com- missioner Mix, of Towanda, who was present, to answer a similar charge from that place. The pris- ‘oner received a hearing, and $3,000 ball was de- manded in this case also, making a total. of $15,000, bail required. He was committed to jall to await tral at Pittsburg, October 20.

HOW HE ALLAYED SUSPICIONS AND ROBBED THE BURROWS ESTATE. A special dispatch to the Philadelphia Times from Albion, N. ¥., August 25th, says: The plot by Which Alvert 8. Warner, of Aibion, ruined the First National bank, and robbed the Burrows estate of the bulk of negotiahle property grows more com- plicated and sepsational each day. From W. A. Sutherland, attorney for the estate, to-day was learned that Warner’s speculations were reckless and extensive. When he obtained entrance to Warner's private safe he found a schedule of the Burrows estate, whitch fs in Warner's handwriting. Two years ago Mrs Burrows heard reports that made her think Warner was not handling the Property honestly. She consulted with Judge Angle, of Rochester, Warner heard she was dis- Sutistied, so he made this schedule of the property, which he showed her and allayed her suspicions and those of some others who were Interested, and her investigation was dropped. The schedule is very long, containing many items. Its recapitula- ‘Uon Is as follows: Rallroad bonds, $250,000; railroad Stock certilicates, $550,582.25: other securities, $137, 196.86; personal property (estimated), $10,000; un- settled claims, $215,718.26; Teal estate, Midlothian Ming, $225,407.64; real estate, lands and lots (esti- Mated), $350,000; total value of estate, with low estimates, $1,739,905.01; Uabllittes, $182,001.17; bal- ance, $1,557, 904.84 ‘The esuinates are very low in every case, and there is every reason to believe that the estate, Properly handled, would have realized at least two miilion dollars. Mr. Sutherland states that all the Tallroad bonds, raliway stock certificates and the other securities are missing, and he believes the Stealings of Warner amount'to over a million dol- rs. W. R. Caulkins, who figured so prominently in the poisoning part of the case, arrived in Rochester to-day. trout Boston. When’ your. correspondent asked him if there were any new developments in the potontng case he sald that he would have nothing to Say until he had finished consulting ‘with his attorney, Theodore Bacon. Caulkins re- marked tbat lightning was lkely to strike soon, ‘and when it did there would be more consternation than was produced by Warner's flight. He offered to give $5,000 and services towards searching War- ner out if the Burrows estate will givea like amount. Bank Examiner Williams 1s still at work in the bank with closed doors, and refuses to enlighten ‘the depositors as to the condition of affairs. It ts believed, however, that as the examination pro- ceeds the outlook for the depositors becomes more disheartening, and all there appears to be left of ‘the great Burrows estate is some land in the west, and south, the value of which 1s indefinite and can hardly be estimated. ‘The district. attorney of Or- Jeans county states that no warrant has been tssued for Warner's arrest, and that he shall issue none until officially notified of Warner's criminality or embezzlement by some proper authority.
