THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, AUGUST 4, 1896. HE PLAYS UPON WOMENS TRUST Charles Holman, With Many Aliases, Again in [ Trouble. FORGERY IS CHARGED. » He Gave Mrs. Rose Kamaroni Forged Checks to Get Money From Her. | A SWINDLER OF THE LADIES Has Served Two Terms in the State Prison and Been Arrested Several Times. A man with a large number of aliases | who has for years swindled women by | representing himself as a wealthy miner or rancher and making a pretense of want- | ing to marry them is once more locked up | in tbe City Prison on a charge of forgery. | His real name is supposed to be Charles Hoiman, a native of Maine, 55 years of age. His aliases, so far asknown to the police, are Llewellyn Miller, R. N. Saun- ders, 8. P. Danforth, J. Garfield, Arthur was notified and he at once recognized Holman and ordered him locked up pend- ing an investigation. He was booked yesterday, Holman is an_ex-convict, having served two terms in San Quentin. On August 26, 1882, he got five years for grand larceny. He was sent from Sacramento County, where he hired a woman as housekeeper, shipped ber trunks to this City and sold their contents. On April 4, 1887, he was | sentenced in this City to ten years for swindling Mrs. Johanna Carlson out of §145, and was discharged on October 8, 1893, He next got himself into trouble in Oak- land about 3 year ago. He made the ac- quaintance of a young widow, proposed marriage to her, and so won her confi- dence that she gave him §1000. He left her, saying he was going to Nevada to settle up some business, and when he re- turned they would be married. -He did | not return and she notified the police. J. J. Allen, as he then called himself, was arrested, and to avoid prosecution re- turned the $1000. After this escapade he went to San Jose, bired a housekeeper and swindled her out of $45. He.was arrested but the case fell through as the woman had to admit she loaned him the money. He was imme- diately arrested by Detectives Gibson and Reynoids on a warrant from this City, charging him with felony embezzlement. That was on November 30 last. Hewas charged with emb zzling a diamond pin worih_$100 which_he had got from Miss Lulu Patterson. He was held to answer, but when the case came for trial in the Superior Court it was dismissed as the woman had got back her diamond pin. In speaking of the charge of forgery, Holman said yesterday that he did not re- member anything about it as he was al- | ways drunk when he saw Mrs. Kamaroni, The four checks which he gave her are in the possession of Captain Lees. Yeter Lane’s Trial. The trial of Peter F. Lane, the North Beach retired ses captain, charged with maltreating SCHEMER MASON HAS A RECORD, Served Eighteen Months in Nevada Prison for Bur- glary. HE SWINDLED CONVICTS Secured Valuable Hand-Made Ar- ticles, but Failed to Make Any Returns. MASON IS FINALLY EXPOSED, Used the United States Mails for Fraudulent Purposes and Was Caught. Inspectdt-in-Charge Munroreceived yes- terday information which will probably materially assist in bringing about ‘the conviction of Edward Mason, arrested in .Arlington, J. J. Allen and J. B. Brown. He is nearly 6 fect tall and weighs about 0 pounds. The complaining witness on the present charge of forgery is Mrs. Rose Kamaroni, | an accoucheuse, living at 51 Fifth street. April 20 last, while she was living at her and introduced himself as Arthur Ar- lington, a wealthy miner, Mrs. Hankatzi, 8 friend living at 41334 | Broadway, was with Mrs. Kamaron at toe time, Holman said he wanted to talk privately with Mrs. Kamaroni, but she expiained to him she could not speak good English and called in Mrs, Hankatzi, whom she introduced as her sister, although she was not; but she was afraid Hol- man would not talk so freely before & stranger. Holman then said he had a girl friend, who had got into trou- | ble and he would pay Mrs. Kamaron1 well if she would perform a criminal operation upon her. Mrs. Kamaroni demurred, but said that she would care for the girl dur- ing her trouble. He consenied to this and after looking at two rooms engaged them, saying the girl would call next day. As an evidence of good faith he wrote the following on a sheet of paper: To Crocker, Woolworth & Co.: Pay to Rose Kumaroni, 78634 Harrison street, the sum of two thousand "and five hundred dollars ($2500). Pay this check to bearer. J. M. CARSON. San Francisco, April 20, 1896, Before Holman took his devarture he did something to arouse Mrs. Kamaroni’s suspicions. Her pocket-book was on the table in the rocm where they were talking. She bad occasion to leave the room for a few minutes, and when she returned she saw him with the pocket-book in his hand examining its contents. She made him | return it to her, and he did not offer any apology or explanation for his conduct. ~ | Mrs. Kamaroni went to the Crocker- Woolworth Bank next day and presented the order. She was told no such person as | *J. M. Carson” had an account in the | She immediately went to police uarters and Captain Lees detailed Detective Anthony on the case. Anthony went io Mrs. Kamaroni’s house, as Holman had promised to return that He waited for some hours, but Hol- n did not turn up, and he left. He had only been gone half an hour when Holman made his appearance. She told him that the order was refused by the bank, and he taid had forgot to deposit his money | but to put things right he wrote out | hecks on the Donohoe-Kelly Bank for $5000, $30 and $10, respectively, pay- able to ber and signed ‘‘J.

Hoefler, attorney for Armine Boutin, an heir to the estate of Loms Cor- riveau, has petitioned the Probate Court for an order commanding Charles O. Swan- berg, the fugitive president of the Mer- chants’ Ice and Cold Storage Company, and Henry W. Westphal, secretary of that corporation, to appear before the court and CHARLES HOLMAN, CHARGED WITH FORGERY. coin just for the moment. He was, he «aid, gloppmg at the Lick House, and he would return the money next dn{. Soe was suepicious of him and asked him to write his name on a piece of%ellow paper. He wrote *J. M. Carson, hite House, Kearny and Post streets,’’ He did mnou leave till after midnight. Holman ealied the following dav and asked if the girl bad come. Mrs. Kama- roni replied in the negative and Holman asked her for the loan of 50 cents, which she declined to give him. He went away and she did not see him agmn till Eatur- day night. She saw him on Grant ayenue and walked behind him till she met Police- man Smith Carr, who placed him under arrest, He was very saucy and indignant, but Carr insisted upon taking him before Captain Wittman, Then Captain Lees produce all the books, papers and vouchers of the company, especiafiy the cashbook, the general stock-ledger, the journal, the daybook, the stock-jonrnal, "the stock- ledger and all promissory notes and evi- dences of indebtedness of the Ice Company to Louis Corriveau. All papers tending to disclose the right, title or interest of - riveau to real or personal property held by the company are also asked for. ——————— Condition of the Banks, The Board of Bank Commissioners has called for reports from all the banks in the State showing their condition on July 31 of this year. Under the law the Commissioners are obliged to make such & calling twice a vear. Colusa last week on a charge of using the mail for fraudulent purposes. It will be remembered that some timein April last Mason wrote to Mrs, Margaret Christie of Wareham, Mass,, to the effect that her son had been sericusly injured in & rallway accident and was anxlious to re- turn home. If Mrs. Christie would send the sum of $100, he, Mason, would see young Christie safely aboard the cars en route for Boston town. The letter was written from Truckee and sizned by Mason as Bheriff of the county. In time a postoffice order for the amount named reached Mason, who immediately brushed the dust of Truckee from his fset and hied rimself to Colusa. From that pointhe wrote to Mrs. Christie’s daughter in Boston, repeiting the story told the mother, ending with a request for $65. The daughter and sister, however, was not 80 easily taken in. She made a thorough investigation, with the result that Mason was arrested, as told above. It now develops that young Mason was born near Wareham, Mass., where the Christies reside. He left home when about 20 years old, finally drifting. to Nevada. In 1894 he was arrested on a charge of burglary, convicted aund sen- tenced to the Nevada State prison for a term of eighteen months, He was released last January, gaing directly to Truckee. For a time Mason managed to make a comfortable living out of his former asso- ciates, the convicts. They sent him many valuable trinkets to_be sold on commis- sion. He disposed of the articles but failed to make returns to the proper par- ties. When this scheme had about plaved itself out Mason bethought himself of other questionable ways to make a living, One day he heard that Everett Christie of ‘Warebam, Mass.,, was in California, and what was more to his purpose, that the New Englander was not on iriendly terms -with his family. His earlier knowledge of the family made him in a sense master of the situ. ation. He played on the love of the mother to the tune of $100, and then tried the sam+ game on the sister and daugh- ter. Itisthe old story of the pitcher, and on Friday n-xt Mason will appear in the New York District Court to answer to a charge of using the mails for fraudulent purposes. The postal authorities are con- fident of & conviction, A CARMVAL BEFORE LENT. The Committee Believes That Such a Time Would Be Most Suitable. A strong sentiment in favor of holding the Carnival of thie Golden Gate immedi- ately preceding the lenten season, which begins on March 3 next year, was devel. oped at the meeting of the executive com- mittee yesterday afternoon. Carnival Director Friealander is one of the strongest advocates of the early date, and favors a three days' display, ending with a grand Mardi Gras celebration on Shrove Tuesday night. This movement has many snpporters and was made the special order for the next meeting, The entertainment committee was in- structed to call at oncg upon the managers of the various places of amusement which have promised benefits for the carnival and arrange the dates. 8o far Morosco's the Orpheum and the Chutes have prom. o alones O Byroe wes Instrocted onel Tuc - pare an address to the publie, not'l‘!,ym Children Cry for Pitcher’s Castoria. them that the carnival was neither dead nor sleeping, and that the work of prep- aration was bein§ carried on with ‘more vigor than !ormerg. eneral Warfield announced his inten- tion of calling upon each member of the executive committee who has been lax in attendance and notifying kxmn that he would appoint some one else if the attend- ance were not more I‘BKlI]ll'. A committee, consisting of General Warfield, General Buckus, 8. H, Fried- lander, I. L. Rosenthal, David Rich, Oscar Bolgemann and Colonel O'Byrne, was ap- pointed to call upon Rev. P. C. Yorke and request him to deliver a lecture upon a topic to be chosen by himself for the bene- fit of the carnival. It1s proposed by the committee 1n charge to make the affair a demonstration for the reverend speaker, who is recognized asone of the foremost orators of the day. The subject will be necessarily non-sectarian, and, as the car- nival is projected for the zood of the entire City, the ccmmittee hopes that he can be prevailed upon to assist. 3 A selection of several of the designs for posters submitted last week in competi- tion for the purse of §25 was made, with a view of selecting those most desirable for reproduction. Bids will be asked from printers, to get them out in lots of 50,000. An’'award of the premium will be made at the next meeting. FRESNO BAPTIST CHURCH Dr. I. S. Eshleman Explains His Finan- cial Relations With the Con- gregation. Dr. 1. 8, Eshleman, who is a physician, not a clergyman, has something to say concerning the First Boptist Church of Fresno, which was burned last Sunday night. i “Some of the statements in the dis- patches published in Monday’s Cary,” said the doctor, *‘do me an injustice. “The additional cost of enlareing the church was nearer $10,000 thgn $§7500, as stated in the telegram, but its value, I shouid say, did not exceed $13,000. The sum of $7500 was not donated, but loaned, by me to the church. I had previously given it $2000. The mortgage I neld as security for the loun was executed by a unanimous vote of the trustees, and there were no questionable means whatever used by me. 3 “William Harvey, the clerk of the church, drew a defective mortgage, in- stead of submitting it to an attorney, as directed, and three years later it was, con- sequently, repudiated, My interest in the church was $10,000, insured for $5000. I am accordingly loser $7000, including the loan of $2000. London firms are said to spend over £2,000,000 a week in advertising. NEW TO-DAY. Monday.
