QUALIFY THE SW|ADLER
 OPERATED IN ARIZONA
The Republican Exposed Him Nearly
 Dozen Years Ago.

The Republican the other day printed an Associated Press dispatch concerning the proceedings in New York against John Dudley on the charge of having swindled Mrs. w T. Bull, widow of the eminent sur geon and former wife of James G.. Blanc Jr. out of $35.OO0. He had sold her stock in a fake asbestos company according to the dispatch but according to the New York pa per in a fake company formed Tor the purpose of manufacturing yachts.
 It is recalled that Dudley is not a stranger in Arizona. About twelve years ago he was concerned in a shady mining enterprise in Graham county. The character of his com- pany. a great deal of the stock Of which had been sold in the east, was exposed by George Smalley now clerk of the district court for Gila county but at the time employed by The Republican in writing up new mining enterprises for this paper. Smalley was suspicious of Qualey's company long before the publication of his discoveries. The publication
  loN. d by threats of a libel suit
 It was this disclosure as well as others of similar frauds that induced Governor Murphy to issue his famous proclamation warning intending in vestors against fraudulent mining en- terprises in this territory.
 For two years or more Qualey vas freauently heard of in the east in connection with his Arizona mine but he finally dropped out of sight.
 After coming to the surface in the Bull case, detectives employed by Mrs Bull have been looking into his record.
 He has been associated with at least forty enterprises. it is said, ev- cry one of which went to the wall. If he ever made a success Of one Of his companies it has been impossible to learn of it.
 Some of those who have lost heav- ily through Dudley, among them Pat rick Egan, former United States min ister to Chilli assert that Dudley was once associated in a business enter prise with Larry Summerfield, the wire tapper and swindler, who IS best remembered here for his fake Horseshoe Copper Mining company.
 Another of Qualey's victims is A. S Anabel. a commission merchant. In 1904 Anabel went into company organized by Dudley to manufacture new kind of slate roofing. He put S5OOO in and lost it. Qualey then tried to get him to put more money 4, l-ea hi i'm TtTa nf the company if he would. but he de- clned the honor.
 Mrs. George Holt, who lost S2OOOO Tn Qualey's magnesia asbestos company was induced to invest by Mrs. Hop kins. The friends of the latter claim that she was carried away by her enthusiasm over Qualey's schemes and innocently got a number of her friends into difficulties by her praise of the man and his companies.
 A peculiar thing about Qualey is that he has always done his own legal work, save in criminal cases In everyone of the companies that he has organized he has personally drawn up the papers of incorporation. He never trusted anyone else with his work. The losses of investors in his various enterprises is said to be well over s2.OO0,OOO--
 Patrick Egan met Dudley in 1889 in Chicago, and he and his friends put about s15.000 in the United States Carbonic Acid Gas company, of which Dudley was president. Egan was made secretary of the company and former Tax Commissioner Thom- as L. Feitner was a director. The plant for making the gas was the same one that Dudley used to show investors in the Magnesia Asbestos company. The company finally went into the hands of a receiver. John Greenough, of Poor X Green ough. and Marcus Daley lost $SO,O0O between them in a mining scheme started by Dudley. Another victim of the promoter who has been dis covered is H J. Hanf, hotel man. MT. Hanf went in both the magnesia and gas companies and lost several thousand dollars. A number of other victims have been discovered, among them young Greek named Tschinian who lost $20,000 in the gas company.
