De Pue, former pastor of a local Presbyterian church, was in- dicted today by the grand jury on & charge of using the mails to defraud. De Pue is alleged to have inserted ad- vertisements in various papers offer- ing an “exceptional business propo- sition” and persons answering the “ads” were offered, it is claimed, a half interest in a going business which De Pue called a civil service course of coaching. Large sums of money were secured from prospective purchasers follow- ing correspondence through the mails, when De Pue had no intention of transferring a valid title to them of the opme-half interest, it is alleged. De Pue is said to have represented that Senator Capper of Kansas, Sena- tor Davis of West Virginia and for- mer Senator Hoke Smith of Georgla indorsed his course of coaching, when the indictment alleges neither of them had so indorsed the De Pue course. Indicted Once Before. De Pue was Indicted in September, 1914, on a charge of false pretenses on which he gave bond for trial. The case has never been tried. The alleged scheme to defraud, ac- cording to the recltations of the ‘in- dictment, was carried on by De Pue through . the Insertion of misleading advertisements in newspapers. One of these ads offered a half interest “in a goink profitable local mail order business” for the sum of $230. The indictment further charges that De Pue put this advertisement in the newspapers with the view of offering every person who answered it & one- half interest in a certain business, which he styled the Civil Service Course of Coaching and the Consoli- dated School System, whereas “it was not the intent and purpose of De Pue to sell to any person who might com- municate with him a one-half interest in the business, but it was his intent to deceive each and every one of such persons by entering into false and fraudulent contracts and agreements and falsely pretending to convey to each and every one of such persons a | one-half intereést without giving to any one & good and valid title thereto.” money from persons who answered his advertisements in the belief they were purchasing a half interest in his com- pany, when, as a matter of fact, De Pue lied these same sums to his own use without giving them anything of value in: return. The indictment further avers that De Pue falled to furnish the persons to whom he sold a half intereat in his com- y with coples of the course of in- struction as he agreed, but that “it was his_intent and purposs to deceive such persona and to cheat and defraud them by not delivering the number of coples.” Charge Loans Misused. appl pan CHARGES STOCK FRAUD.

Overrun With Stock Swwindlers. The grand jury today reported to the District Supreme Court preva- lence of “wildcat” stock promotions in the District of Columbia. Th asked Justice Stafford, who will have the duty of instructing grand jurors this year, to call this condition of affairs to the attention of subsequent grand jurors, that the work of ex- terminating such undesirables as fraudulent stock promoters may be carried forward. Foreman Eugene E. Thompson ex- plained to the court that while the retiring grand jury had reported sev- eral indictments against alleged fraudulent use of the mails by stock promoters, there are other cases which time did not permit the grand jury to investigate. The report, as submitted to the court reads: “The grand jury has been investigating .stock promotion in the District of €olumbla, and your honors have probably observed that we have roturned indictments in such investigations as we were able to complete. It is our opinion that a now offering are fraudulent and ‘are very large number of promotions direct violations of section 215-B of the penal code—that is, using the mails for fraudulent purposes. Wage-Earners Victims. “Wholesale swindling has for years in the District of Columbia, been go- ing on, and the swindler is catching the wage earners, who cannot afford to lose and who are literally at the mercy of what appears to_ be the ‘worst type of crook known. The pro- motions are not limited to oil and mining stocks, as was the case many years ago, but extend to various kinds of industrial enterprises and to what is known as dividend-paying stock pools, of which three in Wash- ington have closed their doors in the past few weeks, and now the receiv- ers are hunting for their assets. “The methods adopted by theése pools were fraudulent at the start and it would take a new dictionary to de- fine a word descriptive of the scheme at the end. There appears to be no law for the purpose of regulating stock sellers and promoters other than the section before referred to, although a bill is now pending in Congress which it is hoped will go far toward curbingthis evil. Swindlers Overrun D. C. “We find that the District of Colum- bis. is overrun with promotions of yardous kinds, many of which are questionable, to say the least, and in order that the public might by warn- ed of this exceedingly dangerous form of robbery, the grand jury recently invited to a conference representa- tives of press, business associations ang various clubs in the District, at which the District attorney also was present. “This matter was quite thoroughly discussed and those present pledged their efforts to assist in warning the public against the smooth-tongued promoter who sought only the sale of stock without regard to its le- gitimate and sound condition. “The grand jury feels that it would be lacking in its duty if it did not request the court in charging the new d jury to request or direct that it give some attention to this dangerous situation.” —_————— child. 1t is alleged that when he went to _work in the morning he tied the child with a stout rope and left ¢ all day without food or the means of ob- taining sustenance. .
