has an Office at 1913 California street, and re-

scented by the United States Grand jury
charging him with having misused the
United States mails by sending q circular
through them with intent 10 defraud.
The circular in question was ore promot-
ing mutual insurance plan, whereby Tiliel-
man hoped TO make at least passable liv-
ing out of guElible public. The plan of
the alleged mutual Insurance was to issue
tickets, Numbered consecutively, TO persons
who deposited $40 initiation fee and 81 % a
month afterward. As soon as surplus of
$1,000 over the expenses and salaries paid
had been accumulated, ii was TO be paid in
bulk to the holder of the lowest uncanceled
ticket
On the face of it the plan was at best a
lottery scheme, whereby eventually some
one might receive a $1,000 bonus, but about
thirty persons who had taken stock in it
confessed to the Grand Jury how forlern
their hope Of the surplus ever material
izng had become, especially on discovery of
the little ker in the provision that no ben
efits would accrue to members antil salaries
and other Liabilities had first been met.
The Grand jury presented the Indictment
on Friday evening before ii was discharged,
and the Indictment was placed on the secret

States Marshal Long arrested Thieimaa on
a bench warrant. Cash bail of 5000 was
