TR|OOF SW|NDLERS
OBTAIN $1,O00,00O
bankrupt Trust" Nabbcd
In Philadelphia After
Six Years Career.
FOOL MANY EXPERTS.
Secured Large Consignmcnls of
Goods Fraudulently From Differ
cnt Parts Of the Country.

Philadelphia, Pa, Jan. 9. - How
three young men swindled manufac-
turers, importers ami jobbers out of
Il million dollars in six years by OBJ
tanning goods in at least % cities and
then suddenly leaving town, was the
amazing tale unfolded yesterday by
Chief Postal Inspector Cortelyou, af-
ter the three men had bsen held in
$1,000 aggregate bail by Emitted
States Commissioner Edmunds for a
further hearing on January 10.
The allege! members of the
bankrupt trustI' are Charles III
Greenfield, 80 years old, Samuel
Brown. 26 years old, and Meyer Rot
man, 33 years old. Greenfield, who is
said to be the brains of the combi-
nations, was held in $1,000 bal ani
the other two in $4,000 bail each.
They were Unable to furnish bail and
were sent to Moyamensing prison.
The three leaders are said to have
acccmplices all over the country, to
whom they sell the goods they get
on cresit or send them to be sold.
Postal inspectors have been on the
trail of these fences, and yesterday
in Baltimore, Inspectors Smith and
Nichols, of Philadelphia, accom-
panied by c. D. West, of St. Louis
Credit Mems Association, entered the
store OF i. J. Ste:hhuIdt and az
rasted Abram Corak whom they
brought to Philadelphia last night.
Steinhardt is reported to have left
the city me;iately after the ar
rest of the three alleged leaders be-
came known. A number of empty
boxes which had contained merchan-
disc was found in the store.
The specific charge against the
three men is using the mails to de-
fraud. and the action is based upon
only one of their transactions, which
took place in st. Louis. Operating as
the Great Western Jobbing House,
in st. Louis, it is charged, the three
men obtained goods value at $751;
90 from Eastern manufacturers
sold the goods. placed the money IN
their pockets and then left St. Louis
without paying their bills.
