details of an alleged attempt to swindle
banks on a large scale. by means OF
fraudulent correspondents and fictitious
notes, is told in petition filed yester-
day in the Circuit Court at Towson, for
n receiver for the Manor Lumber Com
pany of that town. The amount In
volved. according to the petition, Ia ov-
er 81 900 900. and Il is asserted that the
scheme has been at least partially sue
cessful
Ben w Gross, OF Cincinnati, is the
plaintiff. and, according TO the story
told by him. he was induced to accept
certificates of stock in the Manor Com
pany by Chas. Il. Cochran. originator
and promoter OF tho scheme, which
stock he subsequently, transferred back
to Cockran.
Cross has learned since, he says. that
the company was not Incorporated for
the purpose OF doing a legitimate busi-
ness, but formed by Mr.. Cochran as
part OF a scheme OF alleged swindling
covering territory from Boston on the
north to Chicago on the west. and
Nashville on the south
Mr.. Cochran, being already Interest,"
ed in some legitimate eompanies-nota-
bly, the Chesquassett Lumber Company,
with braches in New York, Boston.
Pittsburg, Norfolk and Chicago; tho
American Hardwood Company, Gin
cinnati, with branches throughout the
East and West, and the Chesapeake
Lumber Company, of Baltimore-wish-
ed It Is alleged, to increase the credit
of these companies with the banks Of
the country. for the purpose OF "kiting"
negotiable paper through them.
He organized fromeighteen to TWEEN
ty-one smaller companies, 1t Is alleged.
ostensibly engaged In the lumber busi-
ness, from which he would on demand
receive from $1,000 to $1,000 In nego-
table paper, payable to the order OF
any Of the parent companies needing 1t.
This paper was discounted in enormous
quantities, the bill alleges. at various
banks in the country, they being led to
believe that each note represented
bona fide sale of lumber. Among the
twenty-one smaller companies go or
ganized are the Manor, Parkton and
Suburban Companies. of Baltimore
county; Pocahontas Company, OF Nor
folk; Sylvania Company. Of Philadel-
phia, and Muskoka Company, Of
North Tonawanda, New York.
The bill further alleges that, in order
to better carry out his scheme, he kept
his connection with these companies a
secret. and led banks to believe that
all were independent companies. In
pursuance of the scheme, the bill says.
Mr. Cochran had been discountine
among the banks Of this country worth
less paper aggregating at least $1,000
900, including $1,000 of the Manor Com
pany.
Within the past week the alleged
scheme Of Mr.. Cochran has been dis
covered, 1t is said in the bill, by the
banks Of the country, and they have re-
fused to discount any further paper.
Consequently, the notes which the
banks now hold, it is stated in the bill,
have gone to protest. The concern Ia
hopelessly insolvent, 1t is alleged, and
woth no money in the bank with which
to pay the bills.
