months apart To further add to the
suspicion of the authorities it developed
that he was again engaged 10 Mrs,
Eleanor Naaderventer. who for the past
three months had lived with him at 1lh
Schermerhorn street Brooklyn. where
Carlton was arrested on Tuesday.
OF secondary but none the less in
tense, interest is the story told against
Carlton by II. Z. Schaub. chief ma
chiniSt of the submarine boat PorpolSe.
now at the Brooklyn Navy Yard.
He charges that Carlton made four at
tenlpts to poison him. He is prosecuting
him only on a charge of SWiudling him
out of 500 but the accusations dug up
from the past are of such a highly sen
Sationai ma ture that the police court
case was continued until next Tuesday
in order to give time for investigation
The history of Carlton is shrouded in
mystery. He is q man of about forty
two years, of age and is highly educated
For three years off and on. he lived
a the home of Mrs. Hattie Schultz, at
1SS Sands street, Brooklyn and 1t
was while there that he married the
two young women who died so mySteri-
ously of lockjaw soon after their lives
were insured
It was while there that he met Schaub.
from whom he is alleged to have secured
to murder him.
Admitted Having Seven Wives.
Schaub in sworn testimony before the
coroner, said that Carlton told him that
he had been married six or seven times.
and was looking for more wives. His
testimony was corrObOrated by Mrs,
Schultz. who. also under OATH told the
coroner that the prisoner had been mar
ried several times.
Carlton, it is known. was ambitious 10
become a navy surgeon. but he was
unable TO secure the position because
| in the required examination he refused
to tell the history of ten years of his
life. The police of Brooklyn are now
trying to trace his movements during
that blank period of his history.
That the suspicion against Carlton is
not of recent origin is shown by the
minutes OF the coroner's office. When
