The Globe Vineyard Com
pany in Trouble.
Stockholders Accuse Lawrence Vincent Of
Embezzling Their Money - a Most
Peculiar Corporation.

What has become of the money paid Tor
stock in the Globe Vineyard Company
That is aquestion the shareholders tried
to solve for nearly year before they de-
cided that the company itself was as diff
cult to locate As the shekels passed over for
shares
One of the stockholders, who has been
unable to get grapes, wine or money out OF
the investment, started the ball rolling yes
terday by causing the arrest Of Lawrence
Vincent on a charge Of felony embezzle-
ment.
The complaint. which was sworn ont by
L. Devaney. proprietor of the Park cyciery,
alleges that Vincent appropriated to his
own use no less than $4,000 belonging to the
Globe Vineyard Company.
Vincent was formerly an auctioneer, and
a member of the firm of Butterfeld & Vim
cent.
year ago he organized the Globe Vine
ward Company, which was duly incorpo-
rated with board OF directors.
An interesting prospectus was issued,
and IL set forth that the object of the cor
poration was to buy lands and cultivate
grapes In Fresno County.
"The prospectus" said the attorney Tor

many inducements that the stock was
| readily sold.
''Clerks and poor persons were the prn-
| cipal purchasers.

| handled dollar of the money received for
| stock.
"As far as any one knows Vincent re-
ceived all the money paid in and held on
to it.
"Vincent manipulated the whole project
"a second concern, the Acme Develop
meDt Company, was organized to develop
the first.
"All the funds of the Vineyard Company
were supposed to have been turned over Il
the Acme Company, but neither corporation
ever had dollar In its treasury.
"As 10 the responsibility OF the director

them may be commenced by the dupet
stockholders.

money was ever invested toward carrying
out the objects of the original incorpora
ton. The Globe Vineyard Company exste
only on paper"
Soon after Vincent was arrested by DE
tectives Bee and Harper he secured his re
lease on bond in the sum OF $500
