All Defendants Convicted on Three In
dctme ents--Used Mail In $6,000,000
Standardization Penalty on
Each Count is Five Years
Imprisonment.

Philadelphia. April 81. - Guilty of
having used the mails to perpetrate a
S6,000,000 Mexican land swindle was
the verdict returned by jury against
the officers and promoters of the In
ternational Lumber and Development
company before Judge Wilmer in the
United States district court.
Those convicted are: John r. Mark
ley, promoter, of Chicago; Isaiah B.
Miller, promotion partner of Markley;
Charles NJ. Mcmahon. secretary and
treasurer of the International Lumber
and Development company; Colonel A.
G. Stewart, director and commission
er; William Armstrong, Jr., general
manager Of the company.
Aroused by the boldness and i'm
mensity of the fraud, the postal au-
thorities began an investigation which
resulted in showing that the proper
tions of the swindle were very great.
Indictment and arrest of the swindlers
took place last June.
All the defendants were convicted
on three indictments. charging con-
There were three counts to each in
dictment, making total of nine
counts for each defendant The maxi
mum penalty on each count is five
years Imprisonment and the minimum
penalty two years.
The court deferred sentence pending
the disposition of motion for a new
trial made by James S. Scarlet, coun-
sci for the convicted men. Attorney
Scarlet was allowed the usual four
days time in which to file reasons in
support of his motion.
On application Of District Attorney
John c. Swartley the bail of Markley
and Miller was increased from $4,000
each to $4,000. The bail of Mcmahon,
Stewart and Armstrong was raised
from $4,000 to $4,000 each.
Unable to procure bail, Colonel A. G.
Stewart and Charles NJ. Mcmahon
were taken to Moyamensing prison in
custody of Deputy United States Mar
shals Myers and McCahey. Mrs. Nc
Mahon, who remained with her hus-
band in the office of Commissioner
Craig in the Federal building, until
all hope Of procuring bail was aban-
doned, became hysterical when her
husband was taken away.
The bail of II. A. Merrill, one of the
directors Of the company, was also in
creased from $4,000 to $4,000.
