SHARPERS OF San DIEGO.
REAL-ESTATE DEALERS IN TROU-
BILE FOR VARIOUS SHADY
TRANSACTIONS.
ONE ARREST ON A CHARGE OF EN-
BEZZLEMENT AND MORE
TO FOLLOW.

SAN DIEGO March 12.-J. Mccormack, a
real-estate dealer of this city, was arrested
and held in $500 bonds for embezzlement
Mccormack has been before the court at
least four times in the past three months
charged with obtaining money under false
pretenses, but as the amounts obtained in
each case were small he was allowed to pay
up and keep the matter quiet. To-day S
examination, however, was more serious.
Thomas E. Ashton of Hoiton, Kans., sent
500 to Mccormack last June to pay off a
mortgage held by Henry Pahlow. and Nc
Cormack, so far as can be discovered, de-
voted the money to his own use. Ashton
found that Mccormack had gone off on a
spree with his money, and he had to pay
the amount over again.
SIX or seven weeks ago Mccormack re-
celved $500 in commissions to divide with
partner, but he again went away and his
partner got nothing. Then Mccormack
began to pass checks that turned out to be
bogus, and he narrowly escaped punish
ment several times.
1t is understood that two other real es-
tate dealers will be arrested tomorrow on
a criminal charge. The Walmer case
stirred up things and general inves-
tigation reveals various cloudy transac-
tions on the part of certain real estate men.
The funeral of J. Walmer, the real estate
dealer, who committed suicide last week
after his arrest for forging deed in an en-
deavor to swindle land buyer, took place
to-day.

CITY COUNCILS ERROR
Severe CenSure of the Legal
Adviser Who MiSled
the Officials.
THE DISHONEST PURCHASERS.
A Review of the Case Which Has
Involved the SeasldeECity In so
Much Trouble.

SANTA CRUZ, March 12-The Grand Jury
presented a report this afternoon mostly
devoted 70 an investigation of the city
bond transactions. The failure of Coffin &
Stanton, who took the bonds, TO comply
with the law is pointed out. Then it goes
on to say: That a grave error was COM
mitted by the City Council in turning over
the bonds to Walter Stanton without
following strictly the provisions of the law
seems inContestible, but that such an error
was intentional or that any member of the
Council was guilty OF criminal intent or
willful wrongdoing the Grand Jury does
not believe. The Council was unfortun-
ately misled as TO the law in the matter,
and that fact alone caused them to take
the mistaken course which was so unfor-
tUnate in its consequences. The Grand
Jury censures the legal adviser of the
Council.
With regard to Coffin & Stanton the
Grand Jury has no doubt of their dis
honesty, but it does not find that any of
them has been guilty of a crime within
the strict meaning of the law. Throughout
the whole transaction the firm has sur
rounded itself with technical safe
guards so as to enable them to escape
punishment
3 The bond matter has been a subject of
discussion here for months. When the
city had issued bonds for construction OF
water works no purchaser could be found
IN this State. Then Coffin & Stanton, a
New York firm, became the purchasers.
Aside from money paid for the works
$50, 600 had been expended for water rights
and reservoir site. Last year proposition
TO refund the city's indebtedness was made
by Walter Stanton, a member of the firm
which purchased the original bonds. The
refunding proposition was carried, as the
rate of interest was lowered and time of
payment extended twenty years. Notice
OF sale' Of bonds was advertised, but Coffin
& Stanton were the only bidders, taking
the entire issue, 1886, 900.
Stanton carried away the bonds without
having advanced any cash for them. In
October Coffin & Stanton went into insol-
vency. Then an investigation was COM
menced and it was found that they had
hypothecated the refunding bonds in vari-
Gus Eastern banks.
The main trouble IS that the city has out
two sets of bonds, each drawing interest.
Until the matter is settled the City Treas
urer Will not pay interest on either set. AS
the city has been clearly deceived as to re-
funding bonds, their payment will be
fought. A taxpayers association is already
organized to resist payment. Coffin &
Stanton's affairs are in the hands of a re-
ceiver, whose last report shows that their
liabilities were over s., 900, 600, and all that
came into his hands was about $4,000
There are enough legal points to insure a
victory for the city as to the refunding of
the bonds if the case ever comes to trial. 1t
is expected that case will soon be brought
into court.
