An Oakland Ticket Agent Wanted by
Several of His Creditors.
George B. Seaman, for several years
ticket agent IN this city, left his home two
months ago and his old friends know him
no more. 1t is said he has left the Pacific
Coast altogether and is living somewhere
in the East. Several creditors would like
to know where.
His office was in the Macdonough build
ing, and when he left he told the agent
that be intended taking a flying trip
East and wanted TO retain his Office. Two
months have rolled by and not word has
been heard OF him. One of his former
clerks said to-day that previous to his
going away Seaman had some trouble with
the Palatine Insurance Company and that
his bondsmen came to his relief, but the
company revoked his commission. The
Burlington Company. it is SAID, learned of
this and requested the return of their Oak
land agency. by this stroke" said his
clerk, ''all of his business was taken away
and he had nothing to keep him here"
Weitman d Weitman, Broadway drug
gists. are sorry they ever met Seaman. Mr..
Weitman said to-day: He did US up to
some extent. He got Us TO insure IN a
com pany for which he did not hold the
agency. OF course, the company took the
policy all right. Then Seaman presented
u
everything was straight. But 1t was not,
for Seaman never paid the money to the
company, but put it into his own pocket,
as I suppose. The regular agent came
around TO collect, and we had to pay our
bill the second time.
Several other storekeepers are anxious
for a settlement with Mr.. Seaman. When
be started on his Eastern trip he took his
wife with him, but left his two little chill
dren in this city.
The Police SquabbIe.
The trial of Charles PIpenberg for va
grancy to-day threw considerable light on
The charges that have been made against
Officer Banks To- the Police Commissioners.
1t was shown that ex-Chief of Police Schaf-
Ter and Plpenberg will be the material wit,
nesses against Banks at the latter's trial
next Tuesday. 1t is very evident that the
feeling between the Banks party on the
one hand aud the ex-Chief of Police and
his associates on the other is very bitter.
Many sensational statements will doubt
less be made. While Mr.. Schatfer was on
the stand to-day, he said, Il will say that
Pipenberg is going to be witness against
Banks-against a gang OF the most dla-
bolical conspirators in the State" The
story connected with the Banks-Shaffer-
Pipenberg- Donnelly imbroglio has already
been told in THE CALL.
