SEVEN ARE INDICTED
IN BIG FUR TAX PLOT
800 Furriers Involved, 1t Is
Said, i'm Cheating Govern
ment Out of 1000, 900.

Two indictments against seven men
alleged to have entered into a $4,000. 900
conspiracy to defraud the United States
Government in connection with the
monthly fur sales tax payments were
returned yesterday by the Grand Jury
to Judge Mack in the United States Dis
trict Court.t Those indicted were Morris
RosenbIum, former Deputy Collector Of
Internal Revenue; Herman Schuss, Mel
Vile Newmark, actuary for the Ameri-
can Fur Dealers Association Benjamin
Weiss. a furrier William Sherman, an
actuary julius Dawson. lawyer and a
receiver in bankruptcy, and Barnett
weingold. whose fur shop was seized
two days ago by agents OF Internal
Revenue Collector Bowers for unpaid
taxes.
The indictments recall several arrests
made about six weeks ago when Rosen-
blum and Schuss were accused OF having
a duplicate of rubber stamp used by
cashiers In the Revenue Collector s
office.
Rosenblum, who was our on ball Tor
an alleged attempt to bribe officials IN
another income tax fraud case, the Gov
ernment agents stated. and Schuss had
been stamping receipts for furriers pur-
porting to show that their monthly taxes
had been paid These receipts were
I
shown 10 inspectors from the Collector 8
Office. who presumed they we're genuine.
An investigation by Chief Revenue In
spector Elmer Trey, however. disclosed
the activities OF the men and the ar
rests followed. 1t Is said that more than
400 furriers are implicated and that
more indictments will follow.
II was In connection with this case
that the fur business of Barnett Vein
gold at l5S West Twenty-seventh street
was seized by Collector Bowers's men,
while Isadore Gainsberg, counsel for
Wcingold. was In court yesterday argu-
ing q motion before Judge Mack to make
the temporary stay a permanent injunc-
tion the Grand Jury returned the indict'
ment against his client. AS the attor'
ney argued Judge Mack signed the In
dictment and then. leaning over the
4 bench, said
Your client has just been indicted BY
the Grand Jury!"
Mr. Gainsberg continued to argue the
case for his client. The payments from
Weingold had been made regularly tc
the Custom House. One affidavit bJ
Florence Konopolsky. cashier for Vein
gold, was read to show she had gone tc
the Custom House OH several occasions
and had deposited fur sales tax pay,
ments amounting to s35,955.55.

A few hardy suckers responded.

Miller continued making good. 1t was
the old story. Presently hundreds
stormed the office daily and the Po-
lice Commissioner detailed men at the
doors to keep the crowds in order The
newspapers rallied and warned But
the people seemed to have gone
crazy Besides, Miller was keeping his
promises case is cited where man
who invested 500 found himself with
credit on the Miller books of $l.o2S
in twenty-five weeks. Another client,
woman, enriched herself by $500 in
twelve weeks.
Miller depended on holding to the
money. For example, you would give
him 800 and go back month later
and demand your $40, or whatever It
might be you had won. Miller would
produce the money, but before thrust
ing it into your hands he would talk
to you.
Look here" he would say; do you
need this money very much? II you
don't, why not reinvest it?' We have
just received inside information re-
garding Argentine wheat. think
can assure you that this money OF
yours will double itself in a month.
To be sure, you must decide for your
self; but If you can afford to let 1t re-
main here your money is going to do
big things for you"
Investors Got Com missions.
Up until this time no syndicate had
attempted to pay such enormous rates
of interest as the Franklin offered. 1t
was nothing more nor less than the
endless chain principle applied to small
investments. Peter was robbed in or
der that Paul might be paid. Miller
paid old customers per cent. for
fetching new ones. Every investor
became a solicitor.
This interest of 10 per cent. week,
or $50 per cent. q. year, did not begin
to represent the obligations incurred
by Miller. That $50 per cent. was esti-
mated on the basis of simple interest
merely. Many of the investors rein
vested or pyramided. Miller refused
TO carry accounts of more than $1,000
but IL client decided to let his origi-
nal investment ride he might manage
to do so by appealing to Miller's gen
erosity. One man, for instance, had
invested 800 early in the game. When
the crash came he was credited with
$4,000 on the Miller books.
One of the most astonishing fea-
lures of 1t all was the stolid confidence
reposed in Miller by his dupes up until
the last moment. Even after the po-
lice raid on the place the victims
thronged Floyd street denouncing the

authorities and echoing Miller by
shouting that the big financial inter-
ests were responsible for the raid be-
cause these big interests were jealous
of Miller's successful raid into their
sacred circle. And even after the
crash there was no immediate run on
the Franklin Syndicate.
s2,OO0,O0O In Four Months.
The books OF the syndicate showed
that between October IA and Novem-
Der IS. 1899. Miller received about
$4,000, and from August until the
doors of the syndicate were closed by
the police--a matter of four months
the receipts topped 1900, 900. 1t was
indicated by these same records that
Miller had got away with $i.700,000
OF this himself. What he. did with 1t
is still a mystery. Within two weeks
preceding the raid Miller is alleged to
have sent $4,000 to Germany A day
or two before the end he withdrew
$l50,00O from the Wells Fargo Com
pany's bank.
There is not space here to go into
the hundred and one ramifications Of
the Miller swindle nor to seek to set
forth the relations between Miller and
the famous Col" Bob Ammon, his
lawyer. Miller remained a fugitive
until February s, 1900. when he sur
rendered to the police and was locked
up in default of ST. bail. 1t was at
this time that he had less than a dollar
in the world. And only three months
before the man was known to have
had nearly 100000 in cash in his
possession.
He went on trial April ., i'll, deserted
and penniless. Fifty of his former
clerks testified against him. On MAY
80. 1900, he was sentenced to ten years
In Sing Sing. Later on, Ammon was
sent to the same prison for four years.
Worse Than Gold Bricks.
Not the least of the wonder of Mil
ler's scheme was the lesson in guilt
bility it offered. The Franklin Syndi-

stock comedy foundations. No longer
could the city bred citizen laugh i'm

cerning the farmer and the gold brick
Here was Miller making an offer that
was little else but All insult TO intelli
gence. But thousands of wise city
folks fought to give him money.
His books showed that OH October
10, 1899, Miller received $4,000 from,
men and women living right in New
York city, whereas only 5000 came
in that day from the so-called prov
inces. Again, or November ii, the
city gave Miller $51,172, while outside
subscribers contributed s12,1S2.
Miller was pardoned after spending
five years in prison.
