"a Funny Mix-Up."
HE tried to insure her life for So, 900
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 were married. Now, that's a
funny miX-up."
In his Checkered career Carlton has
posed as a 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 it's natural
life.
Carlton has maintained a marvellous
brayadO since his arrest. II is a char
acteristic that is one OF his strongest
points. Nothing seems to nettle him,
and he affects 4 good humor at all
times that, with a man under such in
tense cross-fre, IS hard to understand.
Lack OF nerve has never for a moment
led him to a false step since bis ar
rest. Confronted at Raymond street
jail by Mile Peterson. a Jersey City
woman whom he caught in his sDidevy
web under promise of marriage, only
to forsake her for another, he gazed
coldly at her,
For Gods sake, don't say you dou't
know me- implored the -heartbroken
woman, whose lie had been the tor
ment Of a thousand bells since ha left
her.
Il lever saw you" declared Carlton.
his eyes dropping to escape her tears.
She tainted, and on being revived her
agonizing scream sent chills to the
hearts of the ealious prison guards.
Carlton gazed upon the creature be-
fore him unmoved.
Fred. | love you. | don't wan to
prosecute you"
TAKE her away. She's crazy com
manded Carlton.
And the woman in a CONFUSION Of
mysteries, was taken to a hospital.
This is the real nature Of the mar
whom the Brooklyn police term O
"~Bluehcar5."

that Carlton took from him the sun,
Of s7Oo on D prelext that the money
would be used in 8peculatiug 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 dragged him with a cup Of tea
and robbed him Of $500 at the st, Clair
hotel, Park Row in January, 1900.

pictures. These pictures are now In
the possession Of the police, and the
statement OF one Marie BrO5sman Is TO
the effect that Carlton at one time
threatened to transpose a negative Of
her head to the body OF another WON
an. She has told the police that h.
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 a Carl Horton, who ran a
matrimonial bureau at No. 1856 Wash
ington street, that city, several years
ago, resembled Cartons published pic
lures. That mar was arrested, but was
acquitted and left town.
1t will be seen easily that except for
the three crimes or which he now
stands charged and the n 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 50 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 IN
carly age. deserted and served two
years Imprisonment in Fort Leaven-
worth, the military prison. 1t is there,
it is asserted. that he learned to cook.
II is there, it is thought, he learned
to brew a cup of tea by pouring hot
water upon the tea leaves, upon which
lay a slice of lemon. That is a COM
mon enough way nowadays in cities
and abroad, but it is not the way they
where tho old-fashioned boiling or
stepping is still used. 1t was strange
enough to have Helen Murray remem-
Der It of John L, Candless; for Jennie
Andrews, of South DAKOTA, to use that
as one of her means OF identification,
and for Lucia Mitchell, Mrs. Kettering,
Rose Cerler. Mrs, Kingrey, the Peter
son girl. the parents of Jennie Smyth
Carlton, and the mother and brother
of Mary German, as well as the Mrs.
Hattie Schultz and her bandmaster
husband in Sands street, Brooklyn,
where Carlton boarded, all Of them re-
fer to 1t.
Schaub, who has accused him of
grand larceny, alleges that he was of
fered tea to drink. Or. Goldsmith has
sworn that the drug which De Martinez
administered 10 him to- produce uncon-
s~eiousness was III a cup of tea. The
McCandless of the army and the Carl
ton of the navy trewed the tea.
The foregoing Is the a~rraisnment by
the police There is something to be
said for the man around whom so pow

Bigamy Charge Likely.
Rose CeTlcr, Of St. Louis, has sent
word that she recognizes In Carlton
the Carl Marlin who married her,
robbed her and deserted her in the
same year.
Mrs. Eta 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 1893 In Alabama, took all her
savings and then deserted her. On
this identification the police believe
they will be able to base a charge Of
bigsmy, for they claim 10 have outside
evidence to show that in n particular
case Carlton posed as De Martinez,
claiming to have been a Spaniard spy
and 10 have inside knowledge Of the
blowing up of the Maine.
