Scranton. Accused of Obtaining
Money Under False Prctense-Ad-
mitted re Bought and Sold Stocks
For Investors, Many Of Whom pol.

and AS His Fame Spread People
Rushed to Hand Funds to Him.
Newark. \. j.. Nov. "A warrant
has been issued for the arrest OF
Charles +. Washburn. the former
Scranton man, whose financial deals
created sensation in upper New Jer-
sey and Long Island. He said he had
made as high as 50 per cent for per
sons who invested their money with
him.
Washburn is accused by Augustus
win. of Lyndhurst, \. j.. Of obtaining
money under false pretenses. AMI the
Newark police intimate that there are
hundreds of persons who will sit up
when they hear the news.
Washbmn was sought in vain AZ the
Offices OF +. c. Stone & Co. brokers,
of Newark. with whom he had offices
and through whom he did business.
He could not be found al Richmond
Hill. L. l. either.
Washbuin came to Newark last
spring from Scranton and took mp his
residence with his wiic's brother Bur.
ton W. Gibson. a plasterer and brick
layer. OF Richmond Hi.
Almost Immediately after his arrival
in Richmond Hill Washburn opened
an Investment" Office In the Glenwood
avenue house
His fame spread and In a short time
the town was money mod. Washburn 3
business grew Money intrusted to
him doubled and redoubled for the in
vestors. Men and wor n. rich and
poor. people with few dollars and
people with thousands. rushcd to hand
their money 10 him and to all there
came a golden harvest
At first Washburn used 10 make
daily reports 10 his clients but in
very short time he said he would be
unable to issue reports more often
than once n month He was perfectly
frank in saying that he bought and
sold stocks with the money intrusted
10 him. and made no secret at all OF
the fact that he depended solely On
his Judgment" to increase the inye H.
ments of his depositors.
Some Of the big profits roaped by
the latter were enormous. One hun
dred per cent in a day was nothing
extraordinary One man put up 800
and trebled it in three days. another
Invested" $4,000 and in three days
had cleaned up $4,000. with $4,000 Sill
to his account on Washburn's books.
After the appearance Of a story last
September Washburns trade fell OF
some. Most Of his substantial clients
dropped away. carrying their profits
with them. and left Washburn to deal
with smaller fry.

Keeling is reported to have

cording to the story, the band
had planned to 60 into crime in a
wholesale manner. Their scheme
was instigated by a report that
the Wells, Fargo Express COM
pany was to bring a half million
dollars into this section by means
of the Meteor" They decided
to get this money and then rob
the bank there, after which they
were to kidnap the children Of
two wealthy families there, take
to the hills and hold the children
for ransom.
All those who are suspected of
taking part in the plot are little
more than boys who have evinc-
ed an inclination to be tough.
Seven sticks of dynamite, which
are supposed to have been hidden
by the band until they were need

herewith give a few of the de-
tails of the plot:
John Poe and Robert Poe,
brothers, were arrested on war
rants charging them with taking
part in the conspiracy to rob the
Frisco Meteor" train, the plot
which was not carried out. Both
were arraigned in court and held
under 81, 900 bond. A third man,
William Keeling, who is said to
have given the officers the infor.

cry of the plot, is being held in
custody, but is not under arrest.
The officers are looking for three
other men.
