Carleton, alias Herbert Carleton, alias C. C. Lawrence, confronted that alleged con- fidence crook yesterday morning in United States Commissioner HeacocK's court.

Detective Edward Gibson of this city was also in court armed with two war- rants for Carleton’s arrest to be served in case of his release. The complaint on which the first warrant was Issued charges Carleton with being a fugitive from justice from the city of New York. It appears that the prisoner was convicted in that city and sen- tenced to four years' imprisonment in the Sing Sing penitentiary for steal- ing $680. He took an appeal, was re- leased on bonds and escaped. CRIMINAL RECORD HERE. The other complaint charges him with having defrauded several persons in this city in 1901. At that time Carle- ton occupied offices in the Emma Spreckels building in this city under the name of Herbert Carleton & Co. and employed a large number of young men as collectors, requiring them at the same time to deposit $500 each as security for their honesty. After they left the money Carleton & Co. disap- peared, taking the coin. The prisoner had with him at that time a good look- ing young woman who was known as his wife, and acted as the company's typewriter, and a young man who act- ed as his secretary. Mrs. Carleton and this man were present in court yester- day. FOUR DUPES AT ONCE. The testimony of Lewis, Lange, Mul- der and Morris Jr. was practically the #same. All answered an advertisement in the Cleveland newspapers, stating that “a gentleman,” being compelled by age and impaired eyesight to retire from business, would sell his half in- terest In a business which was paying from $6000 to $10,000 per annum, the selling price to be $25)0 cash. No ex- perience was necessary, the advertise- ment stating that the remaining part- ner would instruct the new man as to his duties. The firm was that of C. C. Lawrence & Co., general brokers, reai estate agents, etc. All with the excep- tion of Lange and Morris paid $2500 for the half interest, each belleving himself to be the only purchaser.

TO CORRECT AN ERROR. This ended the testimony on behalf of the Government introduced by Assist- ant United States Attorney Ben L. Mc- Kinley and Postoffice Inspector James O’Connell. Franklin K. Lane and John H. Mar- ble, counsel for the defendant, an- nounced that they would not put in any evidence. Lane raised the point that the complaint found in Cleveland, Ohio, and the complaint drawn in this city were not the same. Some of the allegations differed in both complaints, and Lane argued that they charged two entirely different crimes. Judge Heacock remarked that the Assistant District Attorney had not vet explained why the nam . of the vic- tim used in the foreign complaint was not the same as in the complaint made in this city, which contained four names. Judge Heacock said that if Mec- Kinley would ask for leave to amend | the complaint he would grant him time, McKinley remarked that he would make the request for leave to fille an matter went over until 9:30 a. m. to-day. Judge Heacock remarked that he would probably hold the prisoner for removal, the evidence having showed that he had committed three separate offenses against the postal laws of the United States. —————— Damage Suit Compromised. Charles L. Harvey, a young man, who had his leg so badly crushed in a collision of Jones and Ellis street cars on March 15, 1902, as to neces- sitate amputation of that member, yes- terday compromised his suit for dam- ages for $7000. The motion for vom- promise was made through the boy’s father, Peter Harvey, and Garret Mec- Enerney was his attorney. The orig- inal suit was for $50,000 damages against the California Street Cable Railroad Company and the Market Street Railway Company, together with the motormen and conductors of the colliding cars. Harvey was a den- tal student and because of his loss of a leg was prevented from continuing his studies or practicing the profes- sion. —_——— Marshal Heywood Here. b United States Marshal B. B.

A part of the time was de- voted by the President to work in preparation of his speech to be deliv- ered on the 27th inst., when he will re- ceive his notification of the nomination. | Before the arrival of Secretary Loeb ; the President devoted considerable time to exercise about the Sagamore Hill| grounds. A favorite exercise of the President is chopping wood and he in- dulges in this every day. It serves to keep down his weight and he enjoys| it more than any other of his diver- sions except horseback riding. Concerning the visit to Oyster Bay | yesterday the committee representing | the Central Labor Union of Lack-| awanna and Luzerne counties, Pa., Sec- retary Loeb to-day received the follow- ing telegram from John E. Barrett, editor of the Truth of Scranton, Pa.: “Did President Roosevelt personally | refuse to see a committee of miners! yesterday, as reported in this morning’s papers?” In response to this inquiry, Secretary Loeb sent to Editor Barrett the follow- ing telegram: “Many thanks for your telegram. The committee came here and insisted on | seeing the President to present a pe- tition at a time when I could not ar-| range it for them. The President did not know they were here. If they had sent word that they desired to see the | President I should have been glad to arrange for them at some convenient time. As it was, I offered to bring the petition to the personal attention of | the President. The-statement that | the President had any knowledge of the committee’s presence in Oyster Bay | is not true.” ‘When the committee called upon Sec- | retary Loeb at the executive office the President was absent temporarily from | Sagamore Hill. He was not even with- | in telephone communication of Secre- tary Loeb, and the members of the committee were so informed. sl PREPARING FOR CAMPAIGN. Parker's Surroundings Beginning to Take on a Political Aspect. ESOPUS, N. Y., July 13.—Rosemount, the home of Judge Alton B. Parker, for the first time to-day began to show outward signs of the coming of the campaign. The lodgehouse at the gate is being arranged for use as the cam- paign office, and linemen to-day put up the special telephone and telegraph lines which are to be in use from now on. More than 200 letters went from Judge Parker in the first outgoing mail, most of them replies to letters and telegrams of congratulation. More than 200 arrived in the first incoming mail and every mail since has showed a marked increase over the previous one. The following telegram was re- ceived to-day: “MUSKOGEE, 1. T., July 13.—Hon. Alton B. Parker, Esopus, N. Y.: In an election held here to-day, the first in the United States after your nomina- tion, Muskogee, claimed by the Repub.- licans, wefit Democratic. This is the first gun of the campaign and is con- sidered a fair test. The Indian Terri- tory is on fire with an unconquerable Democratic zeal. “D. M. WISDOM. “F. F. HANCOCK. “J. R. TAYLOR Jr.” Judge Parker to-day received notifi- cation from William R. Hearst that he is to have the support of the Hearst newspapers. He refused to say wheth- er or not he had received word from William J. Bryan. Whether former President Cleveland is to make any speech in Judge Parker's cause during the campaign is not known, but it is understood that the Judge has had an intimation from Mr. Cleveland of his willingness to participate to a limited extent in the campaign. To-morrow evening the citizens of Kingston and vicinity, irrespective of party, are to visit Rosemont and pay their respects to the Democratic can- didate for President. A special train has been arranged for and there will be speeches, music and fireworks.

Several months ago Scott, who runs a salogn and sumer garden at Den- verside, was convicted of conducting a disorderly place and his fine and costs amounted to $490. He paid $50 and was given time to pay the balance. Gt WANT NONE OF BRYAN. \ National Committee Will Not Ask Nebraskan to Take Stump.

OUTLINES THE DEFENSE OF AGED GRAIN BROKER Attorney Ach Claims That His Client Knew Little of the | Business of the Firm and Accuses the Missing Bernard | Ettlinger of Being Party Responsibie for Crooked Work | L That Jacob Eppinger, during the last Attorney Ach in a dazed and hopeless! year the firm of Eppinger & Co. was| manner as though for a cue the wit- in business, was in poor health and | N€ss saild he was no bookkeeper and | malady from which he was supposedly knew little or nothing of the affairs | and financial standing of the firm; that | | the note for the money borrowed from | the International Banking Company | through Colonel Beck, its manager, was signed not by the defendant but by Ber- nard Ettlinger; that the business of the firm was so vast that it would be, ridiculous to suppose its head would Stoop to steal such a comparatively trifling sum as the $9800 on which the indictment is based; that if any crime vrere committed the oriminal certainly must have been one Bernard Ettlinger, present address unknown—these will constitute the defense in the Eppinger case, according to the opening state- ment of Attorney Henry Ach. The day’s proceedings were the most inter- &sting since the opening of the trial and the two witnesses put on the stand by the defense seemed hopelessly lost when put under cross-examination, one of them openly admitting that he had testified to a string of figures without any knowledge as to their correctness. He merely read them from a book kept by another man. SUDDEN REJUVENATION. Jacob Eppinger appeared in the courtroom early, accompanied by his wife and two sons. His face showed no signs of the ravages of the terrible sufferin from the past two days, and his eve was brighter and step firmer than at any time during the trial. Heretofore he has left the courtroom leaning heavily on the arms of his two gons, but yesterday he required the as- sistance of Morris only and apparently could easily have dispensed with that. The greater portion of the morning session was taken up i aring mo- tions to strike out, the majority of which were denied. At the rate Attor- ney Ach wa& proceeding, had all his motions been granted, little would have remained in the record. He wished all the testimony of James Deming strick- en out relative to the private hook, and that of W. W. Topving as to the con- tents of the storage book and grain ledger, particularly the portions relat- ing to the mysterious and phenomenal increase of grain in the warehouse designated as “moisture.” As a finale the court was asked to have stricken from the record the testimony of all witnesses who testified to business rela- tions with Eppinger & Co. prior tc April 14, 1903, unless it was shown that Jacob Eppinger was present at the time the deals were made. On motion of Attorney Campbell e testimony of James S. Manle;" relative to the bankruptcy proceedings in the United States Court and ell evidence regarding the shipment of lots of wheat which went out before the warehouse receipts were hypothecated was strick- en from the record. The three unan- swered questions asked of Topping as to the deliberate falsification of books and receipts were withdrawn. WHEAT NOT THERE. Hugh McFaul, formerly a weigher at the warehouse, was recalled to the stand and questioned regarding lots of wheat and their ‘shipment. He testi- fied that in the r jnths of March and April, 1903, there were no ‘F” lots of wheat in the warehouse. He never knew of any other wheat being shipped for Al white wheat, but had seen sub- stituted some rejected and gogd wheat from lots other than that called for. This closed the case for the people and an adjournment was taken until 2 o'clock, when Attorney Ach made his opening statement. Ach first referred to the mass of tes- timony which had been brought before the jury, much of which he claimed did not bear directly on the case, but was introduced merely to confuse the ju- rors. He continued: You have been led into a mystic maze and it is my duty to extricate you from that maze and ald you in determining whether or not Jacob Eppinger is gullty of the charges made against him in thls indictment. The only question for you to consider is whether or not he is guilty of the specific charge of ob- taining the sum of $9S00 from the Inter- national Banking Corporation by false pre- tenses. Much evidence has been introduced to show complicity in parallel offenses, but they are not at issue. I will not go into the mass of testimony which contains matter forelgn to this case. It you believe he was not in the bank man- aged by Colonel Beck on the 10th day of April, 1903, and that he did not sign the promissory note on the 14th of April it will be_your duty to acquit him. ‘We can and will put witnesses on the stand to show that the firm did a business in round numbers of $18,000.000 a_year. We will show that the firm from October 1, 1902, 1903, paid off. $500,000 on its indebtedness 'and during the succeeding six _months $100,000. We will show that in April of 1003, the time the money was borrowed, assets ex- ceeded its liabilities to the extent of $1,400,- 000, and had property in Solano County worth over $200,000. Further than this the screen- ings, or as counsel for the prosecution termed them, ‘chicken feed" taken possession of by the receiver in June sold for $103,000 net. DEFENDANT’'S HEALTH. We will summon experts to testify as to the physical condition of the defendant, who started out as a butcher boy In this city in 1855 and by his own energy worked up a busi- ness aggregating millions. Two years ago Dr. Herzstein, who is now in Europe,. ordered this aged man, this arch conspirator as he has been painted. to give up his business entirely and_allow the work to fall on the shoulders of the younger members of the firm or he might drop dead at any moment. Following this advice he kept away from the office and Bernard Ettlinger became the chief manipu- to Aprile 14, lator. ‘We will show that Ettlinger is not at pres- ent in this State and has not been here since January; that Jacob Eppinger has not re- Ceived @ line from him since his departure and he did not even say good-by to his old business associate. During the course of the opening statement Ach sarcastically referred to Colonel Beck as the “new head of a foreign bank who was anxious to get business and make a record for him- self.” vin Langton, former grain sampler and confidential clerk for the Eppingers. During his direct examination by Ach He then called to the stand Cal- | all went as smoothly as an automobile on an asphalt road before the gasoline tank starts to leak, but the leak mani- fested itself when the cross-examina- tion began. Langton took the cargo in- voice book and, prompted by Ach, read off what purported to be a list of sales made by Eppinger & Co. during the last year totaling $4,690,419, the object of this being to impress the jury as to the magnitude of the firm. PECULIAR BOOKKEEPING. ‘When the cross-examination began the witness admitted that one invoice of $31,000 was for goods bought instead of sold, but he passed it off lightly as “a mere error in bookkeeping.” This, however, opened the way for a series of similar questions and after looking at did not know the meaning of several peculiar entries in the book. He was | then excused and-an expert will go| over the book. | Charles Schirmer, who for twelve yedrs was assessor in Solano County, | but has not held that position for six | years, testified that the land formerly | owned by the Eppingers on Ryers Isl- | and consisted of about 2000 acres and | is worth $100 an acre. ‘ “What did you assess it for?” asked District Attorney Byington. | “The amounts varied during different years from $5 to $25 an acre.” i “Why, then, do you suddenly increase | the valuation fourfold?” After some hesitation the witness re- plied that it was because he had heard | the land now rented at from $10 to $12 | an acre. The case will be continued | this morning. | —_———— S SUIT FOR | LACK OF JURISDICTION DISMIS: Judge Golden Rules He Has No Power to Dispose of Judgment Debtor's | Salary. | Justice of the Peace Golden yester- | day dismissed the case of Charles | Trull against James Simpson on the | ground that the court has no jurisdic- | tion. Trull, as assignee of Bier & Re- gensburger, sued Simpson, who is chief deputy tax collector, for $175 | on a promissory note. Trull had ob- | tained a judgment against Simpson | and under the new law filed a lran-{ script thereof and Treasurer McDou- | gald refused to pay Simpson's salary | demand for one month. | Judge Golden ordered the salary warrant produced in court and ascer- tained that it was made out in favor of Simpson, who claimed exemption | from the judgment on the ground that | the salary was required for his sup- | port and that of his family. Golden | ruled that the jurisdiction of the court in the case depends upon the payment | of the amount of the demand into the | court or upon some means of getting | it. | As neither of the conditions had been complied with Golden was com- pelled to dismiss the suit. 4 demand will still remain tied up until | other court proceedings to determine the construction of the law are insti- tuted. | | | | —_——————— DISTRICT ATTORNEY WANTS TWO CLEVER DETECTIVES Special Duty Would Be to Interview Men Arrested for Crime and All the Witnesses. District Attorney Byington in speak- ing yesterday of the attack upon him by Attgorney Eddy during the inquest on the body of Mrs. George Curry,who was shot and killed by her husband, defended his action in taking a state- ment from Curry and said that every criminal would be interviewed when | arrested by a representative of his of-| fice. If he had the time he would do | so personally and if he had another | deputy in his office he would specially assign him to do that work. The District Attorney says he would like to have in his office two intelli- | gent men, whose duty would be to| cross-examine all people arrested on criminal charges. | “I think,” he said, “it is criminal | for an official to sit back until a per- son charged with crime has time to| prepare a false story, to fix witnesses and plan a cunning defense. The course to be pursued is to interview the defendant immediately after the commission of the crime and to pro- cure statements from all witnesses. If a link is overlooked at the beginning it is'frequently lost forever.” —_——————— JOHN PETERSON TERRIBLY BURNED IN PICKLE FACTORY John Peterson was terribly burned and scalded yesterday morning in a pickle factory at 653 Chestnut street by burning alcohol and boiling water.

He had an | open light in his hand and the flame of this caused the alcohol tanks to become ignited. He was suddenly enveloped in a sheet of flame and, falling down, rolled under the stream of boiling water. His injuries are very serious and there is little hope for his recovery. He was removed to the Central Emer- gency Hospital and later to the Ger- man Hospital. He resides at 2223 Taylor street. ol B IR SRS Parting of the Ways.
