WANTED BY POSTAL AUTHORITIES

Chicago, Nov. 2.-Charles Whitney
Norton, said by the police and the
postal authorities to be responsible for
extensive swindling operations, is un-
der arrest here and will be turned
over to the federal officers by the
local police, who took him into GUS
tody. 1t Is claimed that Norton has
defrauded people in all parts of the
United States out of bonds and securi-
ties amounting to $3,0O0,000.
It is claimed by the officers of JUS
tics that Norton would obtain stock
from any person who would trust him
and agree to sell it in the market. He
might, the police declare, sell the
stock and he might retain it, but the
result to the person owning the stock
was the same. They would receive
no money from Norton nor would the
stock be returned to them
He was first taken into custody by
the police three days ago and they
held him without preferring any
charge against him until a search
could be made for securities said to
be held by him aggregating in value
about $S,000,OO0.
Million in Negotiable Paper.
In his room were found bonds,
stocks, abstracts of land titles, first
mortgages and other negotiable pa
pers, the greater part of which is
thought to be genuine and worth al
most $2,O00,0O0. Other papers were
found valued on their face at about
$1,000,000 more, but their value is
doubtful 1t is claimed that Norton,
by selling and trading these securi-
ties, has made many thousands of dol
lars. The postal authorities declare
that they have been searching for
Norton since January, 1905, when he
disappeared from Detroit, Mich, os-
tensibly to go to London, Eng.
Titles and deeds to lands in Ne
braska, Kentucky, Tennessee, Vir-
ginia and other states, running into
thousands of acres, were found in Nor
toms possession. One deed describ-
ing $4,000 acres of pine lands in Vir-
ginia and another describing 100000
acres in Nebraska appeared to be gen.
uine. The stocks found in his posses
sion are gold mining stocks, those of
copper mines; insurance companies,
railways and gas companies. The
local authorities are unable to tell at
the present time just what ones of
these securities have an actual value
Norton is still held by the local po-
lice, but the postal authorities de-
clared their intention of causing his
arrest on charge of using the mails
to defraud. ..-.
