that relating TO the redemption of sins

centre of controversy tha' ended finally
in heresy charges against him.

Bench Warrants for Those on Isaii.

An indictment was returned yesterday
afternoon by the Federal Grand Jury
against Archie l.. Wisner. Emmett s
Wisner. John J Meyers. Charles +. Hum
phrey and A l.. Wsner 4 Co. The charge
is conspiracy to use tho mails to defraud
In the sale OF stock in the United Tonopah
and Goldfeld Mines, Limited. The Wis
ner firm and the Standard Securities Com
pany have been engaged for a. long time
in inviting investment in such enter
prises as the Empire Gold Mines. Linz
tied; Murche Gold Mines Consolidated
California and New York Oil Company
and the California Monarch Oil Company
These companies we're held by the Anal
gamated Mining and Oil Company. which
was organized in 1900 with capital of
S5.OOO,OOo. The Wisners and the Standar,
Securities Company have been dealing
IN the stock Of these and a score or more
other mining oil concerns
The Wisners were arrested last March
In their Offices at 1926 Fifth avenue The
Post Office inspectors at that time seized
what they characterized as the most
valuable sucker list" in existence. This
list II said to have cont lined lOO,WN names
Of persons who had bought or might be
IRrauaded 10 buy stocks. The WlSnerS
were sent to the Tombs until they could
raise $1,000 bail for A. L. and 81, 900 for T.. =
At that time A. l.. Wisner attributed all
his troubles to the 1907 panic. He said
he had been unable to collect on stock
sales aud was unable, as a conseque nee,
to raise money for development purposes
or to complete payments in properties
purchased. He said he had invested
his commissions in the properties against
which the Government was crying fraud
and that his family had invested $50 900
more in them.
The indictment returned yesterday
contains eight counts and recites SOW
enty-three overt acts. The statutes cited
are the conspiracy statutes $40 and
$3.50 OF the Federal Revised Statutes,
involving fraudulent Use Of the mails
The period covered is from February !.
1905. to December 20, 1910. The general
charge Is that the defendants engaged
in an unlawful and corrupt conspiracy
to commit offences against tn. United
states by devising a scheme and artifice
to defraud divers persons whose names
are to the Grand Jurors unknown
OF their money and property"
The Indictment was returned TO Judge
Robert W. Archibald. who is sitting in
the Criminal Branch OF the Federal Cir
cult Court. Assistant United States At
torney Pitkin asked that bench warrants
be issued. The defendants will probably
be Grragned some time next week

he gave to the State as a gift when the
State park between Green Bay and Lake

on the land he expected some such action
Following the disclosures in the invests

he swore that he spent upward of sl07 900
to secure the nomination for United States
Senator. the progrcssiyes took the stand
that the State could not afford to sell it's

NOT ITS SHORT CIRCIIT.
Verdict Against the IntcrbOrOuEh Ne.
Ncrscu because Derrick Did u.

Pauline Schnchter. milliner, was
working on the second floor of building
at II Division street on October 4. 1909, when
a Second avenue elevated train passing
the window where she worked caused a
short circuit which sent up three flashes
of fire and caused panic of the girls
in the building. Pauline Schachter was
knocked down and bruised and she and
her father, Nathan, both brought suit
against the lnterborough Rapid Transit
both recovered verdicts in the City Court.
The Appellate Division reversed the
Judgment yesterday on the ground that
the short circuit was caused by the cable
OF derrick coming in contact with the
shoe on one of the cars. The court de-
cided that the railroad company wass not
negligent.
