FOR WINNING MEMS HEARTS
AND MONEY ONCE AsToUNpED
NEW YORK CITY.

TONOPAH. New. May 6.---The death
here. as an outcast, Of Bina F. Yer
rault. the fascinating young woman
who lived like a princess and startled
New York two years ago with her
scheme for winning mems hearts and
thousands OF dollars through the no
torious love syndicate" OF which she
was the head. has been revealed in q
strange way.
Last year woman drifted To this
mining camp as a prospector. She
had little money. but number OF fine
gowns.
There were but few women In the
camp at the time. and this woman.
who called herself Mrs. Hamilton, at
tracted great deal OF attention.
Mrs. Hamilton lived well for a
while. Money was easy in Tonopah
and miners impressionable.
Then the tide seemed to change
against her. She was no longer sought
by the men who had been her admir-
crs. The reason they kept TO them
selves.
Then she fell Ill. A doctor was
called and gave her every attention,
but the call had been too long delay
ed coroner's case and jury was i'm
death was so sudden that II was deem
ed a coroner's case, and jury was i'm
paneled. The verdict was that the
woman had come TO her death from
acute alcoholism.
Her Lurid Career.
In August, 1906, Bina Verrault was
the most prominent figure In the eye
OF the public of New York. Several
men had made startling revelations to
the authorities about the conduct OF
a love syndicate" and had revealed
the large and palatially furnished
house at No. 1923 West Eighty-second-
st. as the headquarters of the syn
dictate.
The household was a notable one.
Mrs. Verrault, known as Mrs. Hamil-
ton, and Mrs. Izella Brown were its
heads. and they appeared as wealthy
manageable widows For time the
syndicate prospered. Several men.
lured by advertisements, got the wom-
en- large sums of money. When no
more money was forthcoming. the
suitors were unceremoniously dismiss
ed. Exposed, the women were arrest
ed and soon Bina verrault disappear
ed. She had not since been heard
OF until an account OF her death was
told In Tonopah papers.

SCHEME TO DODGE
TAXATION
OVER 100000 IN MORTGAGES IN
WISCONSIN HELD IN NAME OF
@. Il. MARTz. BUT pErRolTER
SAYS HE ISN'T INTERESTED.

A hard nut in personal property tax
alton was tackled by the board of re-
view In considering an assessment OF
$211 900 on George II. Martz. Detroit
brewer, on account of mortgages held
In his name In Wisconsin. These
mortgages had been reported by the
Wisconsin authorities as taxable here.
Martz. however claimed that he had
merely given a power OF attorney 10
relative IN Milwaukee to use his
name, and that he knew nothing about
these investments and was not con-
cerned In them. Corporation Counsel
Tarsney was consulted but could not
held out the board.
IF we do not tax them here, these
credits will escape taxation entirely"
said Assessor Pfass.
1t was argued by the board that,
even II the matter had been a mistake
or accident. very clever method OF
escaping taxation In both states had
been shown. inasmuch as the Wiscon-
sin authorities did not know of the
assigning OF the mortgages by Martz's
attorney to other persons, and could
not tax the credits In that state.
Assessor Doran argued to have
Martz's assessment reduced, insisting
as In other cases which have come
up, that an effort was being made to
swell the assessment rolls. The mat
ter was finally put over.
An attempt was made TO get the
Standard Oil Co.'S assessment reduced
by 100000, the plea being that the
branch ONCE here had no right to GER
tain credits, which really belong to
the Indiana head Office, The board re.
fused to grant this, however.
A number of small assessments
were reduced by the board, the larg-
est reduction being of $4,000 In the
American Lady Corset Co. valuation.
