the other posing as an organization
under. special charter with the right

Guard. This company has called the

ton and this must be approved by
the governor before it can be paid.

SheWdest Gold Brick Wan in World
i'm Jail.

IN jail.
Chicago, Sept AS. A. Potter
who is said to be one of the best
known gold brick and green goods
confidence men in the world, and
who is said to have garnered more
than $1,5OO,00O from the unwary OF
two continents during the last few
years by means of gold brick swim
dies and confidence games, was lock
ed in Jail here last night.
He was arrested by o. F. DeMoody
division superintendent of the de
paremtn of justice, after being
sought for a year by United States
secret service men and the police
of almost every city in the country
English detectives of Scotland Yard
also are sSid to have sought Potter
and his companions who were cred
GUS dollars from too credu1ous Lon
doners.
Potter, who also was known az
George w. Post, was wanted here on
an indictment for swindling return
ed in United States court in July
1910. Potter and a companion, Ed
ward Starkloff, also are wanted in
Philadelphia, where they forfeited g
| $23, 900 bond in the United States
court a year ago.
A cash bond of $4,000, offered by
Potter, was refused by federal off
S15O,OOO cash bond would gain his
temporary freedom.
Starkloff who is said to have oper
ated with Potter under a score OF
names, is in the city, according to
DeWoody and all of the secret ser
vice men and police here are search
ing for him.
At Potter's home a great quantity
of evidence was found, including
what the secret service men termed
sucker 1ist' of former and pros
pective victims. The list is said to
contain a greater number of names
of residents of cities than of rural
inhabitants.
After fleeing his $4,000 bond in
Philadelphia, Potter and Starkloff are
said to have opened an office here
and to have flooded the middle west
with advertisements of spurious mon
ey for sale at half price. The bills
it was declared, were made from
plates stolen from the United States
mint at Philadelphia and were splen
did counterfeits.
The investor usually received q
package of blank paper, and, being
in the position of having sought tc
defraud the government, he would not
dare complain to the authorities.

KNEW
THE CAUSE
BUT coroner Did NOT DIVULGE
AT TIME OF INQUEST. BODY
WILL NOT BE EXHUdtD
HER INTENDED ARRIVES


Hendersonville, N. c., Sept. IA
Positive announcement was made to-
day by Coroner w. r. Kirk, that
Myrtle Hawkins, whose body was
found in Lake Osceola Sunday died
as the result of an unlawful opera
ton.
The coroner's jury which gave a
verdict of death from unknown
causes" knew this fact at the time of
the inquest but made their finding in
definite in order to allay suspicion
of the girls slayer and make easier
the detection of the criminal, Coro-
ner Kirk stated last night.
1t was only after storm of criti-
cism from the general public that the
coroner revealed the true situation,
and announced that. another inquest
would be held Friday.
Miss Hawkins body will not be ex-
humed he said, as this is considered
unnecessary.
There were rumors last night that
an arrest would follow Fridays in
quest, at which additional evidence
will be adduced. Coroner Kirk last
night admitted that the autopsy re-
vea1ed the true conditions which led
to the young woman's death. After
conference with DR.. A. B. Crafts,
or t. sss who assisted in the au.
topsy it was decided then that an in
definite verdict should be given in
order to lead to the slayer of Miss
Hawkins and thus assist In the cap
ture of the guilty.
Mr. Hal Cooper the affianced hus
band of the murdered girl, arrived
here yesterday from Johnson City
Tenn. He was met at the depot by a
married sister of the dead girl, who
strenuously objected to Mr.. Cooper
was driven directly to the family
residence. He will appear at the cor
oner's second inquest
Mr. Cooper expressed perfect will
ingness to tell all he knew, but
his frank answers to the many ques
tions asked him shed no light on the
mystery.
He said he came to Henderson
vile as soon as possible after the
killing of his fancee.
He earnestly opposed the theory of
suicide and naturally appears highly
of his sweetheart.
The days developments are these:
The operation was performed, not
in the woods surrounding the lake,
but was performed in residence at
no great distance from the lake
where the body was found and the
detectives believe they know the
house.
The operation was performed in
this house, the body was removed
to the woods where it lay exposed to
the sun for two days and then placed
in the lake not more than eight
hours before it's discovery.
Maggots were found in the girls
soft hair, thousands of them when
the body was pulled from the water.
Sensational developments more
startling than any yet made public
may confidently be looked for within
the next twenty-four hours. The
clues leading to these developments
in nowise conflict with, the evidence
already in hand. The state of pub
lie feeling is intense The tragedy has
never excited such bitter feeling as
this which resulted in the dreadful
doing to death of Miss Myrtle Hawk
ms by some murderer or murderers
almost on the eve of her wedding
day.
At least, two men, one physician,
one business man are under suspi
cion and their movements are being
watched. No names have yet been
disclosed or arrests made. One de

Unde. Influence of Woman.

Charlotte, Sept. 14.-Mrs Benja-
bride of three weeks whose husband
| deserted her Monday morning and
followed another woman registered
at the hotel as Mrs. A. B. Anderson.
tcf Charlotte, and supposed to be his
other wife, had Sheriff Wilkins yes
terday to withdraw the warrant charg
ing Ellison with bigamy. The young
liams, pretty girl of Shelby, has
| had letters from her husband since
he left mysteriously with the other
| woman.
| These letters tell that Mrs An
derson' is his divorced wife, who is
following him for alimony the court
did not allo wher when the divorce
vas granted.
| The letters were written from High
with his attorneys and will be homo
N a few days to straighten up mat
ters. On the strength of this infor.
nation the forsaken bride reques led
the sheriff to withdraw the warrant
against her husband for bigamy.
Mrs. Ellison says she knew her hus
hand was married but that his first
wife was divorced before he married
her and she has a letter from a
prominent lawyer in this State dated
| May 16, and saying he had filed the
| complaint for divorce at Scotland,
| Connecticut, where they were mar
ried.
Whether Ellison and his first wife
were divorced or not remains to be
seen JIis first wife has a powerfu1
1nti ence over him and ent1ced him
away from his second wife without
his making any explanation what
ever until a letter was received yes
terday.
Yesterday morning he told his
wife that he was to meet man in
Charlotte. He went to the Southern
station supposedly to catch train
for Charlotte and while there, he re
| ceived a telephone message from
miles from here, asking that he catch
the Seaboard train and join her
there.
This he is supposed to have done
shortly after the train left this city,
the mother of the bride swore out
| warrant for the man, charging
him with bigamy and the wheels Of
the law we're Immediately set in
motion Chief Christenburg, of Char
lotte, was notified but the. message
reached him too late for him to do any
good as the train had passed that
place. Last night, at a late hour, it
/ was learned by the authorities here
that Ellison and the mysterious wo-
man had been at Gastonia and from
there had caught a train for High
l
posed to live.
Ellison was formerly a travelling
salesman for a soap concern, but lost
his position some time ago. He is
said to be a native of Kentucky and
his courtship and marriage of Miss
! Williams was very romantic.
| 1t may be some time before the
real facts of the story are learned
as stMrs. Anderson" told several con-
Trajectory stories in the course of
her conversation. There is much
speculation here as to who she real
| 1y is, and numerous theories have
been advanced.
/ She first said Ellison was her hus-
band. Then, that he had been her
husband and was divorced She ad-
mits signing a fictitious name at the
hotel. Her influence over the man
was strong enough to take him away
| from his bride and there is lot of
sympathy felt here for the latter.
