Four victims of Charles H. Carleton,
alias Herbert Carleton. alias c. C.
Lawrence, confronted that alleged con-
fidence crook yesterday morning in
United States Commissioner Heacock's
court Carleton was the subject Of ju-
dicial inquiry as to whether he should
be removed to Cleveland, Ohio, for trial
on a charge of having used the mails
to defraud the four victims. The vic
tins, Robert d. Lewis, Clamor H.
Lange. Frank E. Mulder and Isaac
Morris Jr., all of Cleveland, Ohio, were
in court, having been brought to this
city by the long arm of Uncle Sam.
Carleton, Carrao and George Harris,
alias F. G. Edwards, were confeder-
ates.
Detective Edward Gibson of this city
was also in court armed with two war
rants for Carleton's arrest to be served
in case of his release. The complaint
on which the first warrant was issued
charges Carleton with being a fugitive
from justice from the city of New
York 1t appears that the prisoner
was convicted in that city and SEN
fenced to four years Imprisonment in
the Sing Sing penitentiary for steal
ing $3.50. He took an appeal, was re-
leased on bonds and escaped.
CRIMINAL RECORD HERE.
The other complaint charges him
with having defrauded several persons
in this city in 1901. At that time Carle-
ton occupied Offices in the Emma
Spreckels building in this city under
- g
and employed a large number of young
men as collectors, requiring them at
the same time to deposit $500 each as
security for their honesty. After they
left the money Carleton & Co. disap-
peared, taking the coin. The prisoner
had with him at that time a good look
ing young woman who was known as
his wife, and acted as the cOmpany's
typewriter, and a young man who act
ed as his secretary. Mrs. Carleton and
this man were present in court yester-
day.
FOUR DUPES AT ONCE.
The testimony of Lewis, Lange, Null
der and Morris Jr was practically the
same. All answered an advertisement
IN the Cleveland newspapers, stating
that "a gentleman" being compelled
by age and impaired eyesight to retire
from business, would sell his half in
terest in a business which was paying
from $4,000 to $4,000 per annum, the
selling price to be $500 cash. No ex-
perience was necessary, the advertise
ment stating that the remaining part
ner would instruct the new man as to
his duties. The firm was that of c. c.
Lawrence & Co, general brokers. real
estate agents, etc. All with the excep-
ton OF Lange and Morris paid $25OO for
the half interest, each believing himself
to be the only purchaser Lange paid
$3.50 cash, and not being able to secure
the balance gave his note to the pris-
oner. allowing the remainder of the
purchase money TO be taken out of the
profits of the business. Morris paid
$500 and remained in the office ten
days. The firm was not doing any
business.
THEY GO TO WORK.
The victims were instructed to begin
their duties April % in the afternoon.

OF c. c. Lawrence & Co. N the Scho-

DEFENDANTS HEALTH.

We will summon experts to testify as to
the physical condition of the defendant, who
started out as a butcher boy in this city in
1855 and by his own energy worked up a busi-
ness aggregating millions. Two years ago
DR. Herzstein who is in Europe ordered
this aged man, this arch consprator as he has
been painted. to give up his business entirely
and allow the work to fall the shoulders
might drop dead at any moment. Following
this advice he kept away from the office and
Bernard Ettlinger became the chief manipu-
lator.
ent In this State and has not been here since
January; that Jacob Eppinger has not re-
ceived a line from him since his departure
and he did not even say good-by to his old
business associate.
During the course of the opening
statement Ach sarcastically referred to
Colonel Beck as the new head Of
foreign bank who was anxious to get
business and make a record for him

vim Langton, former grain sampler and
confidential clerk for the Eppingers.
During his direct examination by Ach
all went as smoothly as an automobile
on an asphalt road before the gasoline
tank starts to leak, but the leak mani
tested itself when the cross-examina-
ton began. Langton took the cargo in
voice book and, prompted by Ach, read
off what purported to be list of sales
made by Eppinger & Co. during the
last year totaling $4,6sO,419, the object
of this being to impress the jury as
to the magnitude of the firm

threshold. Mulder wanted to begin on
the morning of that day his duties as
the half of the firm, but on the pre-
ceding day Lawrence gave him a COM
mission to go to a neighboring town on
the morning Of April 25 to examine a
stock of hardware that was for sale.
He did not return until the afternoon

ates had fed

1905 championship of the California
Association Football League The ball
was kicked off at $50 .. m at Free
mans Park. Golden Gate, in the 1nde-

more shots during the first period, the
score at half time stood: Independents,
one goal; Hornets, nothing.
In the second half Holland, J. Nc
Gregor, r. Disher and Gillchrest rem
dered good service, but the team was
unable to score more than one goal,
