Moses Rosanbaum, the gentleman
whose suspicious fuctuation of assets
and liabilities has caused such an
amount of uneasiness on the part of
his numerous creditors, passed last
night in the county Jail on one of the
comfortable cots provided for the bene-
fit of those to whom the state extends
Its hospitality. He was arrested at
about o'clock by Deputy Sheriff Frank
Picha on the charge of fraud preferred
by Snow, Church IL Co., on behalf of the
creditors. and Leonard French, the re-
Gently appointed receiver of the prop
erty OF RoSenbaum.
The Rosenbaum case has been fully
explained in the columns of the GLOBE
on number of occasions. In the early
part of last fall the prisoner was the
owner of dry goods store OIL East Sew
enth street. He took trip to st. James
Mihn.. where he rented store, agree
ing to take possession about two months
later and paying months rent i'll adj
vance. He then returned to st. Paul.
where he made arrangements with d
number of firms in the Twin Cities, Chi
cago, Boston, New York and other cities
for the delivery of large quantity of
goods at his st. Paul store. amountin g
in all to the sum of about $4,000.
The goods were delivered accordin g
to the agreement. They were moved
into the front door of the store on their
arrival, and later, it is supposed after
dark, they were taken out the back door
and shipped to st. James, where they
were used for the purpose of stocking
the new store. The business went on
in comfortable manner for several
weeks. He opened the new store in
ST. James. but Immediately, so it is
charged, began the work of getting rid
of the property by shipping it away in
trunks. which he would have che ched
to his agents in various portions OF the
state. He then declared himself bank
rupt and made all assignment. By this
time the goods in both stores had been
depleted until an inventory left him the
possessor of ostensibly about $1,000
worth of property.
There were certain irregularities in
the business methods of Rosenbgum
and certain queer things abont the
whole businesses that the suspicious of
the creditors were aroused. and ThieFS
detective service was given Instructions
to make an investigation of the failure
and the business methods of Rosen-
baum. The facts as stated above were
then found out, and the court appointed
Leonard French as receiver. Since
the time of the appointment
of receiver Rosenbaum has
been under the constant es-
pionage of Thiel's detectives. and yes
terday, when Rosenbaum boarded a
Milwaukee train with ticket for Chi
cago in his pocket, Manager Cooley was
on the spot to persuade him from leaV-
ing the city. He promised not to, go
away, but his actions were of such a
suspicious character that it was decided
best to cause his arrest. Accordingly a
warrant was obtained for his arrest last
evening, with the result that he was ap-
pretended while trying to leave the
city.
The case is in the hands of the court.
and there will probably be some action
taken in the matter today.
