frankness itself on some points, he had
drawn a mental circle about others
and his answers never overstepped the
lien-but through 1t all there was the
laughing triumphant declaration:
"You will see. will go free. There
will never be charge made to stand
up against me. | am willing to go to
jail and have everything sifted thor
oughly. At the proper time will tell
everything"
Carlton has at the present time three
definite charges against him. The first
Is the accusation of II. B. ]. Schaub,
machinist on the submarine Porpoise,
that Carlton took from him the sum
of 500 on pretext that the money
would be used in specializing in tax
sales. On that he stands indicted.
The second charge for which he is
under indictment in Manhattan is the
accusation of Dr. G. A. Goldsmith. OF
Stamford. Conn, who has sworn that
Carlton drugged him with a cup of tea
and robbed him of $500 at the st. Clair
hotel. Park Row. in January, 1900.
The third, for which he is accused
jointly with Mrs. Eleanor Van Deven-
ter, with whom he lived, Is having in
his possession improper photographs Of
women.
At present DR.. Charles P. O'Connor,
pathologist of the health department,
Is conducting a chemical analysis OF
the stomach and organs of Mary Cor
man Carlton. his wife, who died In
March of this year. supposedly from
tetanus. for the purpose Of ascertain

body of Jennie Smyth Carlton, wife.

covering il she died from the effects
of poison.
Suspect Tetanus incubation.
In both of these cases the authori-
ties are proceeding on the assumption
that in applying modern scientific
methods to murder. the man may have
actually inoculated the women with
the germs of tetanus. They have the
testimony of two persons already in
their possession that Carlton not only
often spoke of germs, but apparently
had cultures or them in his apartments

the insurance he collected on the death
of both wives.
Photographs of Carlton have been
identified by Mrs. John E. McCandless,
living in a small town In Nebraska,
who declares that they were married in
1890. after which she was despoiled of
her savings and deserted.
Mrs. Fred Carlton. of Yankton. S. D..

pictures These pictures are now in
the possession OF the police, and the
statement of one Marie Brossman Is to
the effect that Carlton at one time
threatened to transpose negative of
her head to the body OF another wom-
an. She has told the police that he
limited thai by that means he had been
able TO accomplish much.
Inquiry from Chicago.
In addition to this there is the in
quiry of the Chicago police, asking for
more particulars about Carlton. de-
claring that Carl Horton, who ran a
matrimonial bureau at No. 1855 Wash
ington street, that city. several years
ago, resembled Cartons published pic
lures. That man was arrested, but was
acquitted and left town.
1t will be seen easily that except for
the three crimes on which he now
stands charged and the one which
Awaits the outcome of the chemit's
analysis the testimony is not yet con-
c,usive. The police have not yet gath
cred together all the strands OF evil
dence. but in every allegation so far
the cup of tea is found. st. Louis has
sent word that Carlton Is the young
McCandless, of Polk county. who en-
listed in the United States army at an
early age, deserted and served two
years Imprisonment in Fort Leaven-

The foregoing is the arraignment by
the rolice. There Is something to be
said for the man around whom so pow

years and years for him." AYERS Mrs.

"a Funny Mix-Up."
He tried to insure her life for $4,000
and they both swore they were mar
ried," says the inspector. "And her
own brother-in-law told the insurance
company, for which he was the agent,
that they we're married. Now, that's q
funny mix-up."
In his checkered career Carlton has
posed as physician, chemist. expert
photographer, priest, Presbyterian min
lister, expert chef and owner of a Bra
lillian coffee plantation. He has boast
ed Of his keen knowledge Of medicine,
and has said he know how to cultivate
enough germs to supply the borough Of
Brooklyn for the rest of its natural
life.
Carlton has maintained marvellous
bravado since his arrest. 1t is a char
acteristic that Is one OF his strongest
points. Nothing seems to nettle him,
and he Affects a good humor at all
times that, with man under such in
tense cross-fire. is hard to understand
Lack of nerve has never for moment

his eyes dropping to escape her tears.
She tainted, and on being revived her

Bigamy Charge Likely.
Rose Cerier OF st. Louis. has sent
word that she recognizes In Carlton

robbed her and deserted her In the
same year.
Mrs. Etta Kingrey. of Gordon. Ala,
Is coming north TO be satisfied that in
Carlton she will be able to identify
the Eduardo J. Martinez who married
her In 1898 In Alabama, took all her
savings and then deserted her. On
this Identification the police believe
they will be able to base q charge Of
bigamy, for they claim to have outside
evidence to show that in one particular
case Carlton posed as De Martinez,
claiming to have been q Spaniard spy
and to have inside knowledge Of the
blowing up Of the Maine.
Mile Peterson. Of Jersey. City. has
positively identified Carlton in jail as
the man who made her his common
law wife and deserted her. She does
not say Carlton ever robbed her, but
she has sworn that he endeavored to
have her life insured.
The charges of swindling the insur-
ance companies, the police admit, are
wholly without anything substantial
on which to base suspicion at this time.
There have been inquiries for further
descriptions and identifcations from at
least FIVE insurance companies and
guarded statements that there was
some suspicion that there might have
been fraud In that way.
The charge Of blackmail rests on the

Yet to-day that may be called the
principal connecting link by which
they are hoping to obtain stronger

Carlton, now a prisoner In Raymond

several times over of murder. repeated
grand larcenies, many bigamies, whole

ance companies.

have found tea brewed in half the
states of the union, in 20 OF its great
cities, in the army and in the navy,
and always in the same way. The tea,
of course, is only the first step. The
second is the conformation, and that,
the police promise, will be for the liv-

cross-examination of Carlton the other
