The Saint Paul globe., 1902-10-17

After suffering the indignities i'm
posed by five years at hard labor in
the Saltwater penitentiary, in order to
protect a friend, Eugene F. r. Rose,
again becomes a fugitive from justice
Rose served five years in the peniten-
tiary at Saltwater, and let out on pa
role last March. Had it not been for
the carelessness Of an Office boy in
Warden Wolfer's establishment who,
instead of putting a special delivery
stamp on a recommendation to the
board of pardons, who held their meet
ing on the 18th of this month, register
ed the letter, and it arrived too late
for the board to take action, Rose un-
doubtedly would have received full and
unconditional pardon.
He was sentenced for ten years for
having raised orders signed by busi-
ness men in st. Paul for advertising
in directory scheme from $3.50 to
$3.50. The work was all done by chem
tSals, and Rose was convicted and sent
to Jail to save his friend, H. W. Wills,
the real culprit.
On Saturday, Oct. 4, Rose left os-
tensibly on a business trip to Duluth.
It transpired yesterday that he never
went to Duluth, as previous to his de-
parture he left a package with a
friend of his to be placed in a safe,
which package was opened and found
to contain the keys to his desk and
office and the ticket which he had
purchased for Duluth.
1t is evident that he had an ac-
complice at Duluth, as several of his
friends received letters purporting to
come from him, but which his friends
believed to be fictitious all the time.
Wanted as Witness.
The reason for Roses sudden depar-
ture leaked out through the United
States marshal having a subpoena for
him from Pittsburg, asking him to ap-
pear and testify in a case against one
Kemmer, who was arrested for having
used the United States mails with at
tempt to defraud.
Kemmer was a member Of the firm
of Karson & Co., stock brokers, with
offices in the keystone building at
Pittsburg. The other member of the
firm is H. w. Willis, Roses boon COM
panion, and the fellow for whom he
went to Jail the first time, who has
left Pittsburg and is now in New
York
Their plan of operation was to ad-
vertise largely and to show the enor-
nous profits that could be made by
their firm by a judicious investment
of money in stocks. Rose was fur
nished with monthly statement, to-
gether with a draft which showed his
profits on money said to have been in
vested by him during the month.
Referred Them to Rose.
When strangers asked Karson &
Co. for proof of their fabulous profits
they invariably referred them to E.
lis, would be a disinterested party.
Rose would guarantee them that the
business was legitimate and that he
was making lots of money on his
small investment. The fact of the
matter was that Rose did receive from
$45 to $75 month from the firm of
Karson & Co. for his share of the
work.
When Kemmer was arrested, Rose,
fearing that he might be implicated,
decided to defeat the ends of justice
by making good his escape. Without
his testimony it will be impossible for
the government to make any case
against Kemmer it is claimed.
Is in Mexico.
There is no doubt but that Rose at
the present time is in the City of Mex
leo. A letter was received in the city
yesterday by a friend Of his whose
name could not be learned from the
City of Mexico. The address was in
Roses handwriting and had been for
warded under a Mexican stamp. On
the inside Of the envelope was simply
the letterhead of the hotel which he
Is supposed to be stopping at and
reads 1.-THE American House"
Rose is a young man with good quail
tiles, and had the tact of winning and
making many warm personal friends.
He was strictly temperate, and did not
