evidences That He and Brewster
Have Joined Forces In the West.
Redwine Wires His Wife TO Come
to Him. But the Message Falls Into
UnfriendIy Hands, and the Tele-
graph Company Is Threatened
with a Suffered Thought to
Have Been the Directing Genius OF
the Moody Il Drewsters Gigantic
Collapse.
Atlanta. Ca. Sept. John b. Redwine,
the private banker who failed ten days
ago and then skipped the town, has bobb-
ed up in San Francisco and in the same
neighborhood that Gary f. Brewster Of
the defunct firm of Moody & Brewster has
also sought refuge.
Brewster and Redwine are brothers-in-
law. and since both have been spotted on
the Pacific slope it Is regarded as not i'm
probable by many acquainted with them
here. that they intend to join forces out
there and make another stake together if
they can.
Brewster and Redwine were next door
neighbors, and were very intimate sociaS-
ly and in a business way. Brewster was
never regarded as a man of any great
ability, and when the announcement came
that his firm had failed for nearly mil
lion dollars, those acquainted with him and
his partner, j. T. Moody, We're surprised
that they could have engineered such
gigantic deal
Now since Redwine's failure, there are
many who believe that he furnished the
real genius for the Moody & Brewster I'M
dertaking. Whether it was projected with
legitimate ends In view or not is not known
for Redwine was undoubtedly a man of
good business parts.
Attorneys for Redwine's wife assert that
they are doing all they can to get him to
return to Atlanta and face the situation.
They say that If he will come back he
can make his estate solvent, though in the
hands of other people it is doubtful if it
will pay out In full
Incidentally, Mrs. Redwine is having a
great deal of trouble over the personal
property left in her custody by her alb
sent husband There is a row on be-
tween J. E. McClelland, who married
Redwine's daughter by former WIFE aud
his present spouse. McClelland claims
that his father-in-law got away with
$1,000 or more that belonged to his wife,
and in consequence he is keeping an eagle
eye upon things pertaining to the Red
wine collection of assets.
The other day he alleged In an amend
ment to the original bill for receiver that
Mrs Redwine was about to carry off a
couple of trunks of silverware, and had
sold her or her husbands horses and car
rages at a great sacrifice, contrary to the
orders of the court.
In answer to this Mrs. Redwine declares
that her step-son-in-law married the
daughter because he thought her father
was very wealthy; that, in fact, he was
only disappointed furtune-hunter, and
now, since the expected fortune had dis
appeared, he was prosecuting her
Redwine telegraphed his wife to come
20 him in San Francisco, and 1t appears
that McClelland met the messenger boy
near the house. and. securing from him
the message that contained information
of Redwine's whereabouts, opened and
read it, Mrs. Redwine threatens to sue
the Western Union Telegraph Company
because she claims that the disclosure
OF her husbands whereabouts has dam
aged both his and her prospects.
