Carriers Income

ter's income while in Savannah and his
| investment of this income. 1t is as
serted that after the formation of the
scheme to defraud Carter passed rapid
ly from the condition of a borrower &C
that of a capitalist. A statement OF
the aggregate of the thirds received by
Carter in the division of the spoils is

lowing showing, the first row of figures

The bill charges that in the contracts
previous to Sept. 16, 1892, while the
amounts of defalcations cannot be def
nitely traced out, amounts can be
shown aggregating at least $4,000. By
contract 1920, made in the name of E.
H. Gaynor, it is alleged that after the
of nd re
to other persons parties TO the fraudu-
lent scheme that over $4,000. 900 was di-
vided between the three principal con-
Spirators, each receiving one-third.
An interesting feature of the charges
is that in October, 1885, the conspira
tors, having divided up all the profits
of their fraud, found themselves with
out the means to carry on the work,
as the congressional appropriation
would not become available until the
following year. The three conspirators
accordingly held a meeting in New
York and each agreed to put up a fixed
amount to carry on the work until the
appropriation should become available,
the condition being that the amounts
so advanced should be repaid before
there should be any further division of
profits. The arrangement is stated to
have been entered into about Jan. l,
1897, and is stated to have been car
ried out.
Lorenzo D. Carter and I. Stanton
Carter are charged with having en-
tered into the conspiracy by taking
powers of attorney from Carter and Sc
curing the transfer of various valuable
properties to themselves for the, pur-
pose of keeping such property out of
the reach of the government. In the
fra nsfer of the East Orange IN. JO
property, Frank p. Blair of Carter's at
torneys at the court martial. is charg-
ed with having knowingly participated.
Among the requests made by the dis
trict attorney or by the orators" as
the language of the bill has it through
out, are the following:
That the court will decree that the
amount due from the Mutual Life In
surance Company to Beirne Gordon on
the insurance policy referred to as
we'll as the balance due from said
Beirne Gordon shall be paid over as
part of the trust fund to which ora
tors are entitled and decree that the
security to said notes in said real es-
tate be held for the benefit OF orators.
Subpoenas for all the parties men
toned as connected with the Carter
transactions are requested, including
Oberlin M. Carter, his dlcle. Lorenzo
D. Carter, and his brother, /. Stanton
Carter, for whom service by publica-
ton is requested.
In conclusion it is stated that the
bill is similar in tenor to one filed in
the Circuit Court for the Southern
Division of New York, under which a
temporary receiver has already been
appointed for property in the jurisdic-
ton of that court. and to which this
