Modus Operandi OF Exchanging
Them for Foreign Noqlemen,

Berlin, Nov. 6.--The relations of Bar
on Buchard Won Muenchhausen. with
the so-called marriage syndicate, which
financed his journey 20 the United
States In 1885, to obtain a rich wife,
have been made public through a pros
ecution for blackmail. brought by the
baron against Hermann Pincus, Morlt2
Menhelssohn and Adolf Mendelssohn,
three tradesmen, who were members OF
the syndicate. The trial has Just come
TO its close
Baron Won Muenchhausen IL a mem
Der Of a famous German family which
dates from 1887.
The testimony showed that an eX-
convict named Eissler living in Stuutt-
CART, telegraphed to Frau Won outflow,
noble woman residing In Berlin who
undertakes to obtain wealthy wives for
army officers, saying that II she had
titled officer In active service for
an American forums Of S7b0O,OO to
let him know. Frau Won Outflow put
Eissler in communication with Baron
Won Muenchhausen, who Is lieuten'
ant In the Prussian artillery.
The baron, according 10 statements
made in court, agreed TO give Eisser
per cent of the money Of the heir
ess he was to wed In the event OF the
marriage taking place, and he signed
conditional bills for S21j 600. on these
bills Eissler realized money in Berlin
from a number of groups of persons,
including Pincus and the two Mendels-
shons and Baron Won Muenchhansen
was provided with the cash with which
he paid the expenses of his journey 10
the United States.
Eissers partner in this adventure
was a ladys maid who had been
formerly In the service of the rich
American woman referred to By Elss-
Ter, She preceded the baron TO the
United States TO negotiate the mar
riage, but her efforts were unsuccsss-
full, The name Of the heress in ques-
ton was not disclosed in court. Baron
Won Mrenchhausen did make the ac-
Beckett, widow Of moderate wealth,
whom. according to the German peer
age, he married Dec. %, 1898 Since
his marriage the baron has been liv-
ing with his wife on his estate near
Schwobin Hanover
On his return TO Germany Baron Won
Muenchhausen had to reckon with the
holders Of his bills. A compromise
was negotiated with Pncus and the
Memberships, who surrendered his
paper on the payment Of small sums.
Baron Won Muenchhausen afterwards
accused these men of blackmall and
the matter was thus brought into court.
Pincus and the Mendelssohns were ac-
quilted OF the charge.

SYSTEM OF AUDITORS
RELATING To
CHECKING

ACCOUNIS AXE EAAMlNED hEG-
ULARLY BUT MONTHLY SETTLE
MENT ALLOWS MUCH LATITUDE.
WAYS TO BEAT GOVERNMENT.
One of the features in the Wright
embezzement case, which has been SO
full of mysteries, that has brought out
a good deal of comment and many
questions, is How it happens that
when the territorial government is so
hard pressed for money that 1T can
scarcely pay it's current bills, still a
clerk in one of the public offices is able
to embezzle nearly $4,000, that being the
amount he is formally charged with?"
Some have thought that is sum
sufficient to be of good deal OF import
ance in meeting current bills, and that
it seems strange that it or any con-
siderable part of it could go astray,
when it is so badly needed.
Auditor Austin says that under the
| law every public accountant, and that
means every government employe who
collects any public money, must render
an account of it and pay over all col
lections monthly, by the tenth day of
the month following that for which the
| report is made. The Auditor Is re-
| quired to check up the books of each
| public accountant once in three months
| to see that they correspond with these
monthly reports sent in. Mr. Austin
| says that these monthly reports and
acCountings have been regularly made,
| and the quarterly auditing has been re-
! gularly and carefully done. He says
| further that the quarterly auditings
| have checked up with the monthly re-
| ports.
! From this state of facts il is deduced
| that the alleged embezzlement must
| have occurred or at least might have
| occurred in one or two ways. The short
| age of each month might have been
| temporarily made good from the re-
| ceipts for the first ten days of the sue
| ceeding month. The receipts for any
| calendar month did not have to be ac-
| counted for to the treasurer until Ide
| tenth of the next month. SO that if the
| shortage of the month did not exceed
| the receipts of the first ten days of the
| next month, these receipts could be
| used to make the account good. Thus
| the shortage could be carried from
month to month indefinitely until it got
| larger than the receipts for the first
ten days of the month, or unless an ac-
counting were suddenly called for at
some other than the regular time.
The other way in which the embezzle-
ment might have been effected is by the
old familiar way of receiving money,
receipting for it to the party paying
it, but making no record OF it on the
books of the office, so that no audit OF
| accounts would detect it, until some
| accident disclosed the method or set
on foot an investigation.
