Carroll, chief of police of the city of Newark, asking if advertise- ments inserted in the Newark papers by one John Sherman were bona fide. The advertisements offered good wages who would become managers advertiser. Replies were to be addressed to the advertiser in this city. The letter from Newark in- closed a pocket dictionary which Sherman” sent as a sample of the goods he wanted his agents to sell. Detective Fox, by tracing the man’s mall, found Coutant located at the Commercial house In_Water street With the man near Fairfield avenue. Detective Fox found papers which disclosed his system of working, Cou- tant, who signed “Sherman” to his advertisements, wanted managers for branch offices, and promised to send full information on the receipt of a two cent stamp: He recelved large numbers of letters in reply to his ad- vertisement and each enclosed a two- cent stamp. No copies of a diction- ary were found in Coutant’s possession when arrested and he denies that he ever sent the book sent here by the Newark chief of police. Detective Fox l00ked over Coutant’s books and found that he kept an accurate account of all the letters he received and the amounts for every day., A part of his system was entered by Iinitials, and these have not been explained to the police. From the books it Is es- timated that he received anywhere from 50 to‘100 replies a day from his advertisements. The receipt of 100 let- ters a d; each containing a two- cent stamp, would mean an income of $2 deposit of $10 was asked as security from those he appointed as mi Coutant is about 30 years old.
