ARE HIS DUPES
James F. Young Is Traced to
New York and Warrant Is
Obtained for His Arrest
EAIBEZZLEMENT CHARGE
Mrs. Sarah E. Johnson, Calf
House, Market Street, Is
the Complaining Witness

A warrant was issued yesterday by
Police Judge Conlan for the arrest of
James F. Young ON a charge of felony
embezzlement. The complaining wit
ness is Mrs. Sarah E. Johnson, pro-
prietress of the Gait House at Market
street and Golden Gate avenue The
amount alleged in the complaint is $500,
but Mrs. Johnsons attorney, W. NJ.
Mcguire, says the total reaches $4,000.
Young has been traced to New York
and Captain Martin has wired to the
police authorities there to place him
under arrest.
Young disappeared from the city last
April, leaving large number Of dupes,
most Of them women, to mourn his
sudden departure. He posed as presi-
dent of the Columbian Mutual Com
mission Company when Mrs. Johnson
became acquainted with him. He
claimed 10 have offices in the Starr
King building.
Mrs. Johnson was induced at various
times to give him sums aggregating
$4,000 for investment in his company,
which he alleged was a paying con-
Germ and returned large dividends. She
paid $4,000 of the amount by check to
Attorney Mayo of the Crossley build
ing and the other $4,000 in cash at diff
ferent times TO Young, the last pay
ment of $500 being made on January
15. Mrs. Johnson received nothing
from Young. who disappeared from the
city last April.
Young also ran a tontine business
and oneAof his victims in that branch
is Mrs Tubbs, who lives at the Gait
House. She was induced by Young to
the end of forty weeks she should draw
triple that amount. 1t was a few days
before the forty weeks expired that
Young fed from the city
His present residence was made
known by Mrs. Miller who was his
bookkeeper. About two weeks ago she
suggested TO Mrs. Johnson that as
Young was now in business in New
York it would help him materially and
ultimately add to Mrs. Johnson's
wealth. if Mrs. Johnson should loan
Young $4,000. Mrs. Johnson consulted
Attorney Mcguire and he told her to
humor Mrs. Miller and ascertain, if
possible. Young's present address. This
was done. On Monday Mrs. Miller fur
nished Mrs. Johnson with the<address
and yesterday the warrant was sworn
out before Judge Conlan for Young
arrest. AS soon as he - apprehended
an officer will be sent to bring him
back
