SCENT LEGACIES?
Continued from First Page.)

Heebner out of $3.50, yesterday after
noon stood before the bar Of justice
and calmly listened to the reading of
the charges against him.
The true bill was a scathing arraign-
ment OF the character and professions
or the defendant. 1t set forth that
on Oct. 2 Carlisle, alias Debralls, had
obtained from Miss Clarice. Heebner
the sum Of $3.50, the money being
PAID by her for an interest in a So
rooms sci, 522, 52s Bank Of Mime
apolis building, upon the representa-
tons by Debralls that the academy
mad LIZ pupils; that its cash receipts
amounted to between $50 and $100.
per day; that it was equipped with
pun adept faculty Of orientals from
Benares, India, as instructors and
| teachers and that the furniture of
the academy, valued at 1910, was all
paid for except $25. These represent
tatlons are all branded as. false and
the Indictment sums up as follows: +
In TACT. the academy Of occult
science never had. any existence; was
| a deluslon, d myth, a fraud; con-
Quoted, managed and carried on by J.
j. Debralls for the purpose of cheat
ing and defrauding people out Of their
money and property, and the said John
fraud, fakir, a confidence man and
a sWindler.'' .t&=
He Pleads Not Guilty.
What is your plea; guilty or. not
guilty?" asked Criminal Clerk Royce
at the close of the reading of the bill.
Not guilty" promptly answered the
defendant. Now your honor, don't
understand the modus operand Of the
| court. I've had no time to consult an
attorney, and I don't know what to
do
You will be given an opportunity to
consult with counsel to withdraw your
plea and will be given every privilege
of protection.'' -. .. -, -, ~
Whereupon the prisoners bail was
fixed at $500 despite his strenuous
protests. and he was, taken back to the
county Jail, where he will probably re-
main for the present. thru his inability
to raise the large bail required.
Frank M. Nye was asked for by MI.
Carlisle yesterday afternoon, but the
attorney stated after his interview
with the prisoner that he had not been
retained. The Carlisle pocketbook
does not appear to be very thickly
lined and from present indications it
seems that M. j. Scanlon is not in
clined to help the unlucky young man
out of his difficulties. -"
. A ''Veiled Lady, Calls.
A mysterious visitor, neatly clad in
a tailor-made gown and heavily
|
ately after his arraignment yester-
| day. The prisoner refused to disclose
the identity of his fair caller, and the
| young woman herself studiOusly
avoided allowing any one. to see her
features. Carlisle admitted, however,
that the woman was an important
witness in his case.
| II cannot give out the name of yes
terday's VISITOR" said the deputy
sheriff this morning g. '."She will, how
ever, probably be one Of the defend
ants principal witnesses. l under
stand she will swear that she was
| present at, the conversations between
Miss Heebner and Debralls relative
to teh purchase Of a share in the hyp-
motto academy and that the defendant
did not make any claims for>his bust
ness which are not borne out by the
facts --s. .. 4t... ~.
Deputy Sheriff George 10th, who

the beginning, states that if: his. sur
misses are correct theI defendant has
a hold 0 ncertain witnesses which will
enable him to command their services
as he sees fit when the case comes
to trial. ~.----.-.. .--..
Husband and Wife Meet.
| Whoever the yelled visitor may have
been, she evidently is not a particular
| friend of Mrs. Carlisle, VINO visited
her husband shortly after the un-
knowns departuse. When the mysteri-
Gus person went down in the elevator
she was taken to the ground floor in
stead of the first floor. Mrs. Carlisle
and the sheriff entered the car and
rode up one story with her, and when
the wife caught sight. of the stranger
a setting Of her pretty teeth and a
| dangerous flash from her eyes be-
tokened that the identity of the mys-
terious visitor was known to her.
! II thought there was going to be
something DOING said the sheriff.
afterwards, but hostilities did not
: materialize.'
Mrs. Carlisle visited her husband
twice before night, and her mother
. waited in the sheriffs office during the
. conference.
The alleged offense against Miss
Heebner is said to be but one Of sew
eral which are charged up against
Carlisle, and which have been under
investigation by the grand jury. 1t is
said that other indictments have been
returned, but the prisoner has not as
yet been arraigned thereon.
