PROMOTER ARRESTED
AEGERNON III. WILCOX IN JAIL AT
NEW YORK.
He Is Said to Have Been Engaged in
Schemes and TO Have Secured
Large Sums of Money.

NEW YORK, Sept. 12.-The World this
morning contains a three-column expose of
the methods of Algernon H. Wilcox, a
Western land promoter, with headquarters
at Philadelphia. Ii is said Wilcox has sue
ceeded in getting men to invest at least
81, 10000 in his projects. One Of the thirty
clergymen induced to invest by a glittering
prospectus was Rev. George S~tanbery, an
Episcopal clergyman, formerly from Lex
ington, KY. but now dead. Stanbery is a
son of Henry Stanbery. Encouragement
in President Johnson's Cabinet. From him
Wilcox is said to have obtained $4,000. Will
cox is credited with being concerned in
many schemes. He arrived in New York
about a week ago, and was located Sunday
in a furnished room up town. He made an
appointment to meet a friend at the st.
Denis Hotel this morning, and was there
arrested and removed to jail.
He declined to explain his side of the STAN
berry transactions, but ii is understood that
even the heirs to that property admit that
the great majority of the real-estate trans
actions of the Philadelphia promoter were
open and honorable, and that for these he
cannot be punished. They claim, however,
that they will be able to hold him upon
certain of the Wilcox patent medicine COM
pany transactions and some OF his many
Western lands.

MINNEAPOLIS. Sept. 12.-The name of
Algernon II. Wilcox, whose extensive
swindling operations are reported from New

active men:teS of the association, and that
fS held the Office of vice president for
about two years, during which time he
had oniy been in the office once. His head
quarters were said to be in Chicago. The
story of mis- addition to the town of Ben
son, i'm Swift county, Minnesota, Is as fol-
lows: About eight years ago he bought
some eight or ten acres of land adjoining
the town OF Benson for little or nothing.
Arranging with certain parties to act as
''cappers,'' he started for the East, locating
in Philadelphia, where he soon established
what was known as the Bensonhurst Park
Improvement Company. The ground bought
near Benson he had cut up into building
lots. eight and ten to the acre, which he
offered to the unsuspecting public for the
moderate price of siU0 per lot. His scheme
was TO secure from so TO SO as a first pay
ment and the balance in monthly INSTALL
ments. He is said TO have sold nearly all
of those lots, making a profit of from sl5,-
coo to 10000.
