SOUGHT FORTUNE IN PARIS
Waiter in Obscure French Town

Ghetto was at one time waiter in an
obscure French town. He came TO
Paris 10 seek his fortune in which
he was eminently successful so long as
he could keep out of the clutches of
the law. He founded the Franco
Spanish bank and floated not less than
dozen mining enterprises in which
he was director and whose stock was
eagerly purchased by French investors.
1t now develops that his methods were
fraudulent. and the complaint against
him alleges that he has stolen ovrr

various companies and societies. lie is
compared to the celebrated Nine. Hum

Nine. Humbert borrowed money in or

and issued new stock.
1t is charged that he manipulated the
assets of his companies by means of
false balance sheets.
COincident With ROehette's arrest the
quotations on the stock companies in
which he was interested experienced a
heavy decline.
The mines promoted by Roehctte
mostly of coal and copper, were in
