Through Guise of Promoter.

Edwin Arden Noblett, whom the police
usually find posing as a broker whenever
they start out to look for him, was ar
rested again yesterday afternoon and ar
raigned on a charge Of grand larceny in
the jefferson Market Court. Magistrate

moter" 500 for stock In company about
to be incorporated to operate an iron mine
al Pompton. ~ J. Hulsehosch says that
in addition to stock he was 10 be made
manager Of the mine. As soon as the cash
was transferred 10 Nohletts pockets and
the deal was closed Husebosch said he
lost all track Of the promoter and finally
went TO the District Attorney for advice.

ling and was out on 5000 bail awaiting
