Swindler Taken
After Long Chase
Through Europe
Martin Kaufman, Wanted in New
York for Alleged Misuse Of
Mails, Arrested in Berlin.

BERLIN, Nov. 5.-Martin Kaufman Of
New York was arrested tonight by former
United states Postofflce Inspector Henry
c. Hill on the charge OF frauds amounting
to so, 600 in connection with the Cotton
Goods Converters company Of New York.
The case has many qualifications. Kaut-
man was for a long time considered one
of the most trustworthy business men OF
New York. His partner, NJ. A Isaacs, had
such implicit confidence in Kaufman's in
tegrity that, according to Hin, he induced
a number Of his friends to take shares
in the business. One of these was named
Blum, a Cincinnati merchant, who put In
$4,000 others invested smaller sums.
The business proceeded satisfactorily for
six months until Blum asked a customer
to settle an outstanding account which the
customer declared was not due. An in
vestigation Of the company's accounts fol-
lowed and resulted in the discovery Of a
number of falsified entries, amounting to
SlO7,0O % Kaufman in the meantime had
disappeared.
Some Of the shareholders, who were prac-
tlcally bankrupted, held Isaacs morally re-
sponsible and he gave his check for the
total amount missing. The New York Credit
Mems association took up the matter and
had Kaufman indicted. Postoffice Inspector
HIN was placed In charge Of the case. II
was known that Kaufman had sailed for
Europe, but no clue to his whereabouts
could be found until his wife, who is in
business in Lawrence, Mass, dropped a
paper containing a photograph OF a hotel.
Neither the name of the hotel nor the name
of the city was mentioned, but a window
was marked and above it were the words,
This is my room," in Kaufman's hand
writing.
After many difficulties the hotel was
located in Vienna, where Kaufman re-
sided under the name of Marvin Kent. He
had ordered that his mail should be sent
to a tourists office In Berlin. He called
there this evening and Hill, who vas ac-
companied by Arthur Kugemann Of this
city and a detective, accosted him. It first
Kaufman stoutly denied his identity, but
later he admitted that he wss the man
and was arrested. He now awaits extra
dition papers from the United States.
