When on W ¥ M. | Chretien made a complete confession | of the part he had played in the scan- lalous affair Rauer was convinced that if he was to regain some of his money o so at once. During the re-| R SR ~red & J. J. RAUER, THE MONEY BROKER, HAS MADE TO CHIEF OF DETECTIVES JOHN SEYMOUR A SENSATIONAL STATEMENT IN WHICH HE IMPLICATES JAMES TAYLOR ROGERS DIRECTLY IN THE CONSPIRACY OF DISHONOR- ABLE ATTORNEYS TO LOOT THE ESTATE OF JOSEPH SUL- LIVAN. RAUER DECLARES THAT ROGERS DEMANDED AND RECEIVED MONEY TO WITHDRAW HIS HEIRS AND PERMIT THE ESTATE TO GO TO THE BOGUS HEIR PRE- SENTED BY JOHN M. CHRE- TIEN.

There| doubt therefore that the net has been drawn around another scoun- seems ment equally with the rascal who has [ already confessed his guilt. | Chretien Accuses Ruef. John M upplemented his confession yesterday by declaring what he alleges to be the part which Abra- ham Ruef played in the affair. Chretien | says in this confession that he was ad- | d by Ruel to secure from the bogus | John Sullivan a contract for one-third of the estate in emulation of a practice Martin Stevens, the friend and ex-partner of Judge Troutt, has found | profitable. Chretien adds that he se- cured this contract and so informed Ruef, whereupon the latter asked him for one-third of the share which he was to receive from Sullivan. This. Chretien declares, comprehends practically that Ruef had to do with the case until The Call made its timely expose. Chretien says that on the evening of the day of the first publication of the scandal in The Call Ruef sent his clerk. Keane, to him with a proposition to be thoroughly on his guard, to talk to no one and to watch developments. Keans, Chretien says, told him that Ruef would conduct the examination on the following day and would take very good care that Chretien was the last witness called. As a matter of fact Chretien was the first witness, and his testimony closed with a confession. | These are the additional and startling | developments which occurred in this scandalous case in the Probate Court of Judge Troutt. The outrageous af- fair has excited the indignation of law- yers and laymen alike, and there ap- pears to be a disposition on the part of the authorities to leave nothing undone to punish the offenders for their crimes. District Attorney Byington is prepar- ing the evidence which is being accum- | ulated as fast as possible by Chief of Detectives John Seymour. The Grand | Jury, as alredy indicated, will meet in | special session this afternoon and every- body in the case will be examined. Ef- forts are being made to locate Charles Latner, the impostor, who represented | himself as the heir, and the Federal au- thorities will be asked to apprehend and | bring back to this city from Alaska | Fred Hansted, alias Young Dutchy, an- | other of the criminals involved in the | conspiracy. Can Judge Troutt Explain? The preliminary examination of John M. Chretien was to have commenced yesterday in the Police Court of Judg2 A. J. Fritz, but owing to the other de- velopments in the case and particularly to the fact that the Grand Jury intended Chretien which Pobs o600 oeoe@® ssion the in special s to convene to-day preliminary examination was postpon- ed until to-morrow morning at II o'clock. In what follows will be found the sensational sworn statement of J. J Rauer to Chiei of Detectives John Sey- mour and the supplemented confession of John M Ruei. In the meantime, while the remarkable disclosures are being made, it ought to be timely for Judge James M. Troutt to explain why he,in defiance of a fact which can be proved. declared | f;( that the bogus John Sullivan appeared in his court on the witness stand. The impostor John Sullivan never appeared in Judge Troutt's court or anywhere else in the presence of his Honor. etk RAUER BRINGS ROGERS RIGHT INTO THE CASE Declares He Paid Him Six Hundred Dollars as a “Fee” at Chretien’s Request. e or about April 26, 1900, Chretien lled at my office and stated that © his client and himself wanted to borrow some money on an estate then pending in Department 10. I asked him what estate and he sald it was the “‘Sullivan estate,” giving me the number. I told him I would have my attorne Mr. Perry, look it up, and when I had re- celved Perry’s report 1 would talk to him abcut it. He called again, and Perry hav- ing reported that the proceedings as ap- peared from the papers on flle were reg- ular, I then talked business to him. He wanted $500—that is. $400 for his client, Sullivan, and $100 for himself. He was indebted to me at the time in the sum of $150 40. He stated that the estate would be distributed about May 3-or May 4, and that he had in additfon to his fee an as- signment of one-third of the estate from his client. He showed me a general power of attorney, acknowledged by his client, as he sald, Sullivan, before Sands Forman, the.notary public. As my deal- ings with Chretien had always been reg- ular I entertained his proposition and took an assignment from him for $500 against the estate, signed by vidually and as attorney in fact for his client. Sullivan. Chretien received from me $500 in two.checks, a receipt for the §150 40 that he owed me, and 1 charged him a bonus of $150, making up the $800. 1 immediately notified the Public Admin- istrator and his attorney of this assign- ment by Chretien. Matters ran along until the evening be- fore the day on which the settlement of the account and order of distribution was to come up in the Sulllvan estate. At that time Chretien came to my office and notified me that Mr. Rogers Intended the next day to ask for a postponement of the hearing, so that he (Rogers) might take the testimony of some wit- nesses in England. I asked Mr. Perry, my attorney, to be present next day in Department 10 and oppose such continu- ance, as Mr. Chretien had informed me that Rogers’ cllents were not the right heirs and that Rogers had no right to ap- pear or authority to appear. The next day I was present In court with my at- torney when the Sullivan case was called. Settling the Estate. The settlement of the administrator's account came up first. This was settled by consent of Ruef, Chretien and Rogers. Then when the matter of distribution of the estate came up Mr. Rogers asked the court for a long continuance, in order to take some depositions. This was op- posed vigorously by Chretien. and Rogers’ authority for scting was demanded. My attorney askad for Suillvan to take the stand. We were told at first he was in the Chretien accusing Abraham | | bank | | : + z ! i ? | hallway; then, when we pressed Chretlen, we were informed that he was sick in Sacramento, and thereupon Chretien asked me for, and I gave him, 310, and told him to have his client there the next day, which he promised to do. Rogers prom- ised to produce the er authorizing him to appear, and the m | until the next day, which, I believe, was May 4. R On the next day I again appeared in court with my attorney. and Rogers pro- duced, under order of the court, a letter written by some one from London. Chre- tien produced a telegram from Sacra- mento in which it was stated that his client, Sulliv as serfously {ll with n, w photd’ pneumonia at that place. Upon | Rogers reading his London letter Chretien called the court’s attentfon to the fact | that the name of the Sullivan that Rog- him' ndi- | eérs represented did not correspond to the names of Chretien's clients as they ap- peared on the books of the Hibernia Bank, in which bank decedent I volunteered with Rogers to _go to the and see whether he (Rogers) or Chretien were right. The court then post- poned the matter until 2 p. m. Rogers Wanted a “Fee.” rs and I went down_to the bank saw a Mr. Ryan Rogers asked an whether the rresponded with the of the bank and Ryan sald no. As = going out of the bank Rogers re- hat Chretien was doing well out tate and that he, Rogers, ought to Have something for his fee. I told him that I would see Chre- tien and ask him what he would do. :’I saw Chretien, who told me, as his clients were anxious to leave the city and go to Nome, he, Chretien, did not Roge 1 for me to make the best terms pos- sible with Rogers. I saw Rogers before court met, just before 2 o'clock, and told him that Chretien had instructed me to make the best terms possible. Rogers finally agreed to take six hundred dollars. Rogers and I then went to the Judge in his chambers and Rogers informed the Judge that he was mistaken as to his heirs and withdrew all opposi- tion. The decree of distribution was signed that afternoon. Befor the de- ter was continued | ¥ ames that he, Rogers, | 04019 6+0+6+0+0+0+>+0+0 had his acount. | names on the | cree was signed I told Chretien he | | was to get $600.

Ruef Grew Suspicious. 1 then came from Rogers' office to Ruef’s office to get back money that | T'had advanced, T met Chretien there with Ruef and Chretien asked if he (‘ngl(] get his money and Ruef answered, “No, you will have to wait sixty days.” Chretien replied, “Why, I ga you an_indemnity | bond.”" Ruef said, “Well. you did not p Rigby's fees and we did not accept | | Ruef rang up Rigby & Rigby, the attor- neys for the indemnity company, about | the "bona. ~ Chretien_ then turned’ to me nd asked me what I would give for the state, which he sald was $223. After | fguring a. while 1 offered him $750 In ad- | dition “to’ what he had received. He thought it too much and left for Rigby's office to see what arrangements he could make about a bond so that he could draw the money. He came back shortly |and_stated that Rigby would give the bond, but that he wanted the money de- posited with him (Rigby). My offer was accepted by Chretien, who said it was the best be could to Nome the foliowing Monday, the 7th, and was anxious to have his money. In answer to my questions Mr. Ruef told me that certain receipts were neces- sary to be acknowledged by Sullivan. Chretfen said that he had a power of at- torney and could do that, But Ruef said “No.” He wanted Sullivan to do it. The papers were prepared and given to Chretien to have Sullivan sign and acknowledge them. Chretien said that Sulllvan was in Sacramento and that he would go there that night and get him, but that he must have the $750 to take to Suliivan. Iwould not give him the money, but instead drew a check for $750, payable to John Sullivan, which I sald he could cash when he (Chretien) brought me back the receipts and papers properly signed ang acknowledged by Sullivan as required by”Ruef. I gave Chretien $10 for ex- gennes to Sacramento to bring Sullivan ack. 1 stopped lpnyment on the check the next day until Chretien brought me the papers signed and indorsed by Sulli- van and acknowledged by Sullivan before a notary public. Rauer After His Money. I pald no further attention to the mat- | ter until the 7th day of July, when I thought the sixty days required by Ruef do. as 'his_client was going | | want any delay in the matter, and | ATORS Chretien Supplements His Confession by Al- feging That Abraham Ruef Demanded His Share. —_—— Grand Jury Called in Spe- cial Session to Investi- gate the Grave Probate Crime Exposed by The Call. —— had expired. I called on Ruef the Tth day of July at 12 m. and was Informed by him that the decree had not been re- corded until May 12, and that the sixty days would not be up until July 12, when I could get my money. Chretien was pres- ent, as he sald, to recelve what was com- ing to him out of the estate over Iu.rm oft, i above the $2230 coming to me. I telling Ruef I would call again July 12 never saw Sullivan nor any one who resented himself as Sullivan. And I ha | no idea there was anything wrong about the estate until the newspaper publica- tion a week ago. Chretlen further a sured me that Sulllvan was present the taking of the deposition at Ruef's office and Ruef told me that he had seen him a number of times. Rogers called upon me at my office at noon on Wednesday and I told him that if I was questioned further I would give all the facts, and advised him to do like- wise. @I+t e O+ OO eI eI eig r R4 [ R e e e e ONE-THIRD WAS RUEF’S SHARE, SAYS CHRETIEN Interesting Memorandum of an Agreement Between Prisoner and At- torney. e HEN I called on Ruef and told him that I had a power of attor- | asked. | gated. | fully set forth in my.

T left my house at 8 o’clock in the evening and after stopping at one or two places called at T. D. Riordan’s office. On entering there I found Mr. Keane of Mr. Ruef's office. After shaking hands and passing | a few remarks I went into Mr. Riordan’s private office, where T told my entire | connection with Ruef and Rogers in the Sullivan estate. 1 told him the facts as4 tatement to Cap- and to-day. an_hour. When I was surprised Mr. Rior- wafting do any- that he tain Seymour yest was with him proba I came out of his room to see Mr. eane still there. dan sald he thought Keane wa: for me, I asked Keane if T could thing for him. He said ‘Yes": had come to serve me with a citation to appear the next morning in Judge Troutt's court. I accepted the citation ting ney from John Sullivan, he sat in | his private office and in the course of the conversation which followed he said: “I want to make a good suggestion to vou—do as Martin Stevens does.” I stated that I was unacquainted Stevens' mode of procedure, He replied: “You that you will at the outside get a couple of hundred dollars Your power of attorney isallrightin its way, but it won't increase vour fee. Now, if Stevens was in your place he would' get, in addition to the power of attorney, a contract from Sul- livan for a portion of the estate for his say a quarter, a third or a haif. don’t you do the same?" I thanked him, saying I would. The next time we talked of the estate 1 with re appointed by the court and from | told him I had a contract for a thira. i00d,” said he, “now you will make | something. Will let me see it the next time you are in I said I would. Some time afterward I called at his of- fice and submitted the contract now in Captain Seymour's possession. He read it over carefull; t's all_righ : right to demand it,” said he, “I think, un- der the existing circumstances, as it through me that you obtained this pointment, you should give me som thing out ‘of your share.” “I think you are entitled to it and I am willing to do the right thing. What do you want?" sald 1. “Well, I'll leave it to you.” he re- plied. After some more conversation he suggested one-third of what I should re- ceive. After more talk I promised him that share. Ruef’s One-Third, He then took a sheet of yellow foolscap paper and with a penecil wrote: “I agree to pay Ruef one- third of my share in the Sullivan estate.” At his request I signed it. It was undated and hurriedly writ- ten. As he picked it up he said: “This is all the agreement I need.” He then opened the right hand d of his desk, the one in which his check book is kept, and dropped it in, On gev- eral occasions he referred to this agree- ment and more than once I spoke to his clerk, ‘Keane, about it. He is fully cog- nizant of it. On Monday when the first article ap- peared in The Call. I was told by Rauer that he was $261 richer than he thought. On asking an explanation he sald: “Ruef | has telephoned me that there Is $2611 com- ing to me instead of $2350. I suppose that is_the third you were to give him.” I said: “Yes, that is right.” while T have no | and apologized for keeping him w so long. He remarked that it was of no consequence and then asked Ihir‘h way 1 was going. “Home,” I said. “Let's take a California street car. I have an ap- pointment izht with Drinkhouse and will ride with vou, as T want to speak to d he. We got on the rear dummy | of a California street car. We were the | only ones on that end. save the conductor. Must Not Throw Ruef Down. Mr. Keane started by saying that | | Ruef was my friend and was pre- pared to do anything he could for | me. He referred to Ruef's inter- view in that evening's Bulletin, snying I must back it up. I said: “Why did he say Sullivan was in | court? Yom know he was not there.” “I don't know,” he re- | plied, “but you must not throw him down on that.” He then again spoke of the kindly feel- ing feit by his office for me and then he sald: “Of course you need not mention anything in reference {o your agreement with Ruef, as that would only hurt and do no one any good.” I promised him, when he sald: ‘“There are only (wo or three of us that know of it. and of cours Ruef will not ask you anything about 1 0 there is no danger of it coming out.” Previous to this he had said in answer to my query as to how the | matter would be conducted the next 1 have never accused Rauer of getting | a share of the unlawful division of -the | Sullivan estate. On the contrary I wish to say that Rauer has acted fairly and square with Rogers, Ruef and myself; especially when Ruef declined to allow Drinkhouse to advance any money to Dutchey after the decree had been signed. as he immediately said: “I will Come over to my office.”” Thi s was to Dutchey and myself in Ruef’s office on | the afternoon of May 4, where the four of us_had been_ closeted from until after 5 o'clock. Dutchey and myself went with Rauer to big office, where he gav me a check for $700, which was cashed the next day and appropriated in full by Dutchey. Not Disinterested Vigilance. ‘While Ruef was showing the greatest vigilance for the protection of the Public Administrator he was doing it as well for his one-third, and probably would never have gone over the figures of ex- penses and amounts due and paid out so many times if that were not the fact. There has never been a word said or a thing intimated by me against the hon- esty and Integrity of the Public Adminis- trator in this matter. I do not claim he had any interest in it, but on the con- trary I know Ruef was very particular in cautioning me not to let Drinkhouse or any one eise know of the transaction be- tween us. He says it is incomprehensible why I should make the statements that are attributed to me. Well, T am tired of being the dupe and catspaw of men who promise everything when in danger, but not onl{ don’t know you but abuse you glhcn |! ey think they are safely out of e mire.
