fugitive from France tonight. charged
with embezzlement. and his sumptuous
offices where he edited newspaper
called the American Register. and con-
Quoted bank and other enterprises. to
which Americans loaned capital. are
empty, creditors having descended and
seized everything.
The complainants against Hamon are
Mrs. Julia p. Newell and Miss Josephine
Pomeroy, formerly of New York, who
declared that they turned over TO Ha-
mon stocks to the amount of $500. 900,
on which Hamon agreed to raise loan
through London banks of s150,0OO. They
allege. however, that Hamon neither
negotiated the loan nor returned the
stocks
Hamon has been a dashing figure IN
Paris since his arrival here six years
ago He lived in costly apartments In
the Rue du Bois Bologne. 1t is reported
mystery attaches to his title. He claims
to have inherited it from his father,
who received it from the pope. HIS
real name is said to be l.. E. Warner.
A statement issued at the bank says
that as a result of the proceedings the
credit of the institution has been ad-
versely affected and the local branch
would close temporarily. Other
branches Of the institution are located
in New York and London.
Since arriving in Paris in 1902. when
he transformed himself from "Cheiro,
the palmist," to Count Hamon." he has
had easy access to society. One of his
special friends was man known as
Abbey de la Fresnay," whose scholarly
and agreeable manner secured for him
entry into the most exclusive circles
There are reports that Hamon and
friends, as the result OF their high
connection. were able TO arrange many
marriages among people standing nigh
in the Anglo-American colony.
Hamon is penniless, according to his
secretary, who further stated that he
had lost 100000 in recent operations
and that he had been trying to pay all
his creditors, including Mrs. Newell
The case, however, 1t is said, does not
come under the jurisdiction of the
French laws as the investment has
been entirely placed in England.
