Last Car of the ThoFoughfare
Wreck Has Been Lifted
From the Water.

Atlantic City, N. j., Nov. 1.-The
third and last car Of the Thorough
fare wreck has been lifted from the
water, When placed on the mud
bank the car was in such condition
that 1t actually fell apart Of its own
weight. Chief Of Police Maxwell and
q squad Of officers made q diligent
search for any bodies that may have
been wedged in the car, but found
none. Mystery surrounds the nom
appearance Of several persons who
were known to have been on the
train and may indicate that the bodies
are either held fast in the thick mud
or have floated down with the tide.
The local officials say the total
death list Is sixty-two. On the other
hand, great many were early on the
ground and some Of those who were
rescued from the train are inclined
10 the belief that several bodies were
swept down by the heavy tide and
never recovered. It is said by some
that the total loss Of life Is seventy.
The coroner's inquest win commence
At once.

SWINDLER CAUGHT
Chicago Police Capture a Man Ac-
russd Of Cheating Many
People.
MILLIONS MADE BY FRAUD
People in All Parts Of United states
His Victims = Securities to
the Value Of es,OOO,oO0
Recovered.

Chicago. Nov. 2.-Charles whitney
Norton, said by the police and thu
postal authorities to be responsible
for extensive swindling operations Il
under arrest here and will be turned
over to the federal officers by the pc
lice who took him into custody. II
Is claimed that Norton has defrauded
people in all parts Of the United
States out OF bonds and securities
amounting to 100000.
1t is asserted by the officers that
Norton would obtain stock from any
person who would trust him, and agree
to sell 1t in the market He might, the
police declare, sell the stock, and he
might retain It, but the result to the
erson owning the stock, 1t is stated
was the same. They would receive
NO money from Norton nor would the
stock be returned to them, the off.
GERS allege
In his room were found bonds,
stocks, abstracts of land titles, first
mortgages, and other negotiable pa
per the greater part Of which Is
thought to be genuine, and worth al
most 100000. other papers were
found which on their face value are
worth about $1,OOQOOO more, but their
actual valueis doubtful. 1t Is claimed
that Norton by selling and trading
these securities has made many thous-
ands of dollars.
The postal authorities say they have
Leen searching for Norton since Jan
uary, 1905, when he disappeared from
Detroit, Mich, ostensibly to go to
London, England.
The police say that Norton solicited
stocks and land titles of any descrip-
ton to sell. He would never It was
said, return the paper nor any money
derived from their sale. When pressed
by customers he informed them that
he would 90 to London, England, in
order to obtain a better market.
Titles and deeds TO lands In Nebras-
ka, Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia and
other states, running into thousands
Of acres we're found in Norton's pos
session.
One deed describing $4,000 acres of
pine lands in Virginia and another
describing 10000 acres in Nebraska
appeared to be genuine. The stocks
found in his possession are gold min
ing stocks, those Of copper mines, In
surance companies, railways and gas
companies. The authorities here are
unable to tell at the present time Just
what these securities have in actual
value.
The specific case for which Norton
was arrested was in connection with
the stock of the Monarch Mining &
company Of Arizona, A bus
mess man in Peoria, ILL.,, secretary Of
the mining company sent to Norton |
for sale 5000 shares of the stock. This |
man falling to obtain either the stock |
Dr. it's price from Norton resigned and
came to Chicago where he engaged
IN the brokerage business. Norton,
after returning to this city entered
he Chicago office Of the former Peoria
nan and offered him the same stock
which he had given to Norton for
Iale. His arrest followed.
