THOUSANDS TIED UP
MIR. ERWIN HAS 100000 OF CAR
TIERS ALLEGED STEAL.
HOLDINGS WERE CONCEALED.
FUNDS REMOTE FROM PLACES OF
ORIGINAL INVESTMENT.

The Governments Long Chase After
the Ex-Captain's stolen Money.
MIR. Erwin's Arduous Work in
Hunting Out the Places of Its Con-
ceaIment-S3O,OO 900 Tied Up in West
Virginia In the Hands of Carriers
Relatives.
After efforts that have required the
utmost skill and tact, Assistant Unit
ed States Attorney General and Dis
trict Attorney Marion Erwin has sue
ceeded in tieing up property valued at
100000. which the government claims
represents a part of the 100000 that
former Capt. Oberln NJ. Carter is al
legged to have embezzled while engaged
on the work of the Savannah harbor.
Mr.. Erwin arrived in the city yester-
day morning and talked interestingly
of the large sums of money that he
managed to tie up for the government.
The government alleges that every
effort was made to conceal the hold
ings, and that in several instances
coupons of three or four years stand
ing have been cut off, and after the
sale of the bonds the money has been
reinvested, as far as a thousand miles
from the place where they were or
iginally held. Mr.. Erwin has confined
himself strictly to the task of tracing
the money which Carter is alleged TO
have embezzled, and that one-half of
that large amount should be tied up
in the courts shows large display of
skill and energy.
In the neighborhood of $50, 900 of the
amount tied up is in West Virginia.
The property is in the names of Car
ter's relatives, and others, and the gov
eminent expects to show that it all
really belongs to the United States
treasury. AS Assistant Attorney Cen
eral, Mr. Erwin is devoting all of his
time to tracing the sum that it is
charged Carter got away with. For
this he is receiving a large additional
salary, but the government feels that
it will be amply repaid if its conten-
lions hold good in the courts, and the
ownership of the money that purchased
the present holdings can be upheld. Mr..
Erwin is in the city with his wife.
