SWINDLERS. WORK SCHEME
 WHICH RIVALS HUMBERT'S

Chicago, June 9.-There was recovered this evening from the vaults of the New Era Safety Deposit Company on South Halstead street, 1s200O francs or $Ss4 400, nearly the entire proceeds of an alleged swindle which. in the ingenuity of its conception of cleverness of execution, Is a rival of the famous Humbert swindle.
 The whereabouts of Otto Jaehkel, for whom detectives are seeking in connec- tion with the alleged swindle, is unknown, but his wife under the name of Louise Wernicke, Is in Chicago. She came from New York May 1 and 1t was by cleverly locating and shadowing her that the funds were finally located.
 Jaehkel was the correspondence clerk of the banking firm of Englebert Hardt, & Co.,, of Buenos Ayres, which has branch houses in Berlin and New York. He induced his firm to buy five drafts amounting to 100000 marks drawn on a Hamburg house in favor of the Bue- nos Ayres firm.
 It Is alleged Jaehlsel then induced the
The Birmingham age-herald., 1902-06-10

firm to indorse these drafts and by the aid of acid removed the name of Hardt & Co. and substitute that of H. New man. He had previously written to the International Bank of Brussels that H. Newman, representing the Buenos Ayres company would soon be in Europe to con- duct certain business of a most import ant character and that large sums of money would be deposited to his credit by the firm.
 To this Jaehkel signed the name of his firm and he also wrote a letter, over the firms name. instructing that Newman be given control of the deposits, which would be placed to his credit. This was followed on March r by sending the drafts to Buenos Ayres, the letter re- questing the firm to place the funds to Newman's credit. Jaehkel. whose wife left Buenos Ayres and went to Brussels. When he arrived there he procured from the International Bank checks on a Paris bank for the amount deposited, repre- senting, it is alleged, that he was New man. Arriving in Paris Jaehkel, 1t Is alleged, drew the entire amount of the checks and with little delay left the city.

evident strangers in the city and who
were carefully guarding huge tele-
scope between them, stood in front of
the Grand for an hour the other day,
waiting for some kind soul to direct
them to the residence of friend they
had come to visit. The noise and bus
tie of the city evidently confused them,
and they stood bewildered, not know
ing which way to turn. Finally one
of the women plucked up courage to
address a man who was passing, say
ing, could you tell me where VIII
Blank livesY

'Why, VIII Blank. He used to live
