FRAUD USED NAME
OF GEORGIA MAN
Government Accuses New York
Promoter Of ''WaIIingfOrd"
Operation in the South.

NEW YORK. July 1s.-Edmund
Wilcox, accused by the Government
as a 'get-rich-quick Wallingford" in
real life, but who claims he has re-
formed and has been leading a new
life with his wife and three children
in modest East Side apartment, was
arrested to-day by postofflce insp5c-
tors.
Until two years ago Wilcox had an
office in the Metropolitan Tower,
where he posed as a promoter of rail-
roads, banks and mills. When he
learned that any new company was
being formed, he wrote to the pro-
motors offering to float the stock Aft
er obtaining a retaining fee, it is al
legged, nothing more was heard from
him.
The specific charge against him is
that he obtained 81 900 from Conner L
Peck, of Starke, Fla, who operated
a 3S-mile railroad line between his
home town and Jacksonville.
Wilcox claimed, according to the
Government charges, that one Of his
clients, Colonel James NJ. Smith, of
Smithonia, Ga, who owns 100000
acres of land in Florida, had been
persuaded by him to buy 20, 900 shares
of stock of the Central Bank and
Trust Company of Georgia, at $102 a
share. Colonel Smith denied that he
knew Wilcox, and the Government
began an investigation.
