Two MORE ARRESTS MADE
D. A, Tyson Now Has Company in
Chatham County Jail.

]. NJ. Neal Arrested Under q Warrant
in the State Court Charging Him
With Cheating and SwindlinR-W.
E. Hutoheson Arrested by Deputy
Marshal Buckner on a Charge of
Being Implicated in the Conspiracy
to Defraud.
The fraud that was worked on Savau-
nah merchants and others through the
use of the United States mails, for which
d. A. Tyson is now under arrest, has de-
veloped some new details, which seem to
implicate others in the scheme.
Deputy Marshal w. A. Buckner went
up to Emanuel county last Saturday
night for the purpose of making further
arrests in the case. He had in his pos
session warrant for the arrest of w. E.
Hutchinson, or the man who goes by that
name, and who is charged with being i'm
plicated in the business with Tyson. It
is said that he arrested Hutchinson and
will probably bring him down and place
him in jail this morning.
PLENTY OF ALIASES.
The business was transacted part of
the time under Hutcheson's name, and
Tyson claims he had a power of attorney
from Hutchinson to use his name. 1t is
known, however, that Hutchinson failed
in business some years ago, and the rep
resentatives of both Dun's and Brad
streets agencies claim they notified their
customers of these facts. In spite of this
many merchants have shipped goods to
Tyson, who was conducting bust
ness under this name, and
those who have done so have lost all the
way from $50 to 500 or $500. Emil A.
Schwarz's furniture store is out about
$500, A Letter g. Son $50, Lindsay &
Morgan about S100 Lowell & Littimore
have some old notes against Tyson, and
this is the way the amounts run among
those who were mentioned yesterday as
having lost money through this fraudulent
scheme.
TOO MANY NAMES.
If Tyson had done business under his
own name the merchants say he could
not have got a dollars worth of goods.
Five warrants were issued in the case to
cover all the aliases or real names known
to have been used in the business, but so
far only Tyson and Hutchinson have been
implicated, and it is believed the other
names are aliases.
Another feature Of the case is the
arrest of j. NJ. Neal of Kite, Johnson
county, on a warrant sworn out in Justice
Naughtin's court charging him with
cheating and swindling. The warrant
was sworn out by H. H. Cohen, from
whom the buggy was ordered, and the
arrest was made by Detective Wether-
horn.
NEAL SPEAKS.
Neal, il seems, is the man who got the
buggy. He was down here trying to ar
range bond for Tyson when the warrant
was sworn out, and intead of arranging
the bond he finds himself in Jail This
brought out Meals story of this transac-
tion. Tyson, he said, owed him bill
He told Tyson he would take buggy for
it. Tyson didn't have the buggy but said
he would order him one. The buggy was
ordered from Cohen and was shipped to
RiXville, but was quietly taken off at Kite
before it arrived at the destiu.tiOn to
which it was shipped.
A warrant was also sworn out in the
justice court charging Tyson with cheat
ing and swindling, so that If he had given
bond under the charge of using the mails
for fraudulent purposes he would have
been committed to jail at once under the
charge in the state court. Neal was held
under bond for $500 which be could not
give, and he was committed to Jail.
So far this conspiracy has developed
three arrests, one of the defendants in
the state courts and the two others in
the United States courts. The officers
who have worked the case up say it is
one of the largest and most extensive
they have seen in this section in a long
time, and there is no telling what else it
may develop. 1t may be that other ar
rests will be made.
CAUGHT WITH DRAFTS.
Another transaction that has been
brought TO light in this case is the send
ing of drafts to a Savannah house to
which fictitious name is supposed to
have been signed. The name was that of
j. ID. Paxson and the people around Rix-
vile say they have never heard of such a
man around there. All the drafts but
one were honored and that was the last.
They were all sent in envelopes and with
letterheads engraved with Hutchesons
name.
The preliminary examination of Tyson
and probably of Hutcheson will take
place tomorrow before United States
Commissioner NJ. A. Connolly.
