SI25 900 BAIL IN MAIL CASE;
LOOT NDBURIED IN BARN

rnough 70 meet his returning messenger
His story that the man in Toledo wanted
$4,000 more in paper before he would
be willing to do business was readily
accepted at first, but at the party at
Hunters Point Inn Sunday night Chap
man and his pals abruptly changed their
attitude and demanded of MacCarthy
that he return the $2l,OOO worth they
had given him at once.
THAT suits me all right" MacCarthy
said I'll wire for them"
On Monday three detectives in an au-
tomobile drove by the street corner
where MacCarthy, Chapman. Anderson
and Lambert were standing and the trio
at once became suspicious
Better give us your gun before one
of those bulls finds II on you, they SAID
TO MacCarthy. We'll hide IL lot you
MacCarthy turned II over and was de-
fenseless. He dared not make an issue
of the matter.
shortly after noon Monday Lambert
entered a restaurant at Broa3way ana
1O2d street, while Chapman and Ander-
son waited in Chapman's motor car at
Amsterdam avenue and 102d street
Naccarthy excused himself and teie-
phoned O'Brien..
"If Won don't hear from me in fifteen
minutes. go to It," he said and hung up
Chained to Their Chairs.
Lambert was taken as he came OUT
on Broadway after luncheon. FIVE MN
utes later Chapman and Anderson were
arrested as they sat in their automo-
bile by the three detectives. They were
covered with automatics, so that they
had no chance to resist.
After Chapman's attempt TO escape py
leaping through a window when ne was
being questioned at the General Post
Office Tuesday, the authorities took no
chances upon his arraignment yester-
day All three men were handcuffed ana
chained to their chairs in the Federsi
Building.
The police say Chapman was con-
victed of burglary in August, 1907,
under the name Of Edward Bryce ano
that he was again convicted In april
1907, and sent to Elmira, this time Tor
grand larceny Since thens they say, he
has been in Sing Sing twice, the last
time on a ten year sentence. Anderson
has done time in Joliet and Sing Sing
for burglary and Lambert has served In
Sing Sing for similar conviction, ac-
cording to the police. Both Chapman
and Anderson are fond of Shakespeare
and are we'll hammered and in a measure
cultured men. 1t is said.
The penalty for each count OF the
robberies is ten years imprisonment.
They may be given twenty-five years
besides IL convicted of threatening the
mail truck chauffeur.

lulled any suspicion that he was not

liable and prosperous gunman. who
could IL he chose dispose handily OF
any questionable securities through
channels of his own in Western cities.
Up to this time MacCarthy had no
idea he was on the track of anything

began talking of paper they wanted TO
get rid of. The amounts they mentioned
were so large that MacCarthy suspected
something even bigger was in the wind
Sergeants O'Brien, Kiley and Stepat

poets night and day, MacCarthy advis-

they wormed their way through bushes
and watched Chapman and his COM
panicns unearthing securities from their
hiding place near Lake Ronkonkoma.
On Wednesday. June 2s. Chapman, the
police says turned over $21 900 worth Of
Mexican Petroleum and Packard Motor
Car securities to MacCarthy, to be dis
posed of. He had explained that he had
a friend IN Toledo who was trustee Of
an estate, and that he would substitute
securities belonging to 1t for those
turned over by MacCarthy as 1t would
be ten years or so before anyone would
have chance to check up the contents
of the safety deposit box. MacCarthy
said he wanted 10 per cent commission
and that his friend would pay only 30
cents on the dollar. but Chapman agreed,
according to the police. A special mes
senger was to be dispatched to Toledo
and was to return last Sunday night
with the money.
Numbers on the Mexican Petroleum
and Packard Motor bonds were found
to correspond with some of those on the
securities lost in the Leonard street mail
robbery, and the Post Office authorities

REFORM CRISIS HITS
THE CONSOLIDATED
Governors May Take Up
Charges To-day.

The governing board of the Consoli-
dated Stock Exchange will meet again
to-day to consider ways and means OF
removing the grounds for the criticism
Which has been leveled recently at its
management and trading practices.
Although the report that the meeting
would be helG for that purpose was cir
dulated unofiicially. 1t met with general
credence in the financial community and
created in many quarters strong m
preston that the resentment of some
members against the continuance of the
present policies of the exchange had
crystallized to a point where rs govern
ors would be forced to meet fiat de-
mand for reform.
To'day's meeting follows an .cxtraor-
binary session of the governing com
mittee on Monday evening. which lasted
more than three hours. At its close no
announcement was made Similarly all

ments in the equity suit of Manfred w.

Eisenlohr said the stock was pledged
with him as collateral for loans aggre-
eating $4,000, and although he did not
receive the stock until two days after
DER & Co. failed. he maintains he was
assured by DER In November and De-
cember last that the shares would be de-
livered.
The trustee admitted that Eisenlohr
loaned DER & Co. $4,000 and was
obliged to pay $4,000 before he obtained

Eisenlohr was entitled to payment In
full for only $4,000, and should receive

INDICTED BROKER
SUES RACE PARTNER
Goulko Wants Accounting on
Stable Of Horses Started With
$3.50 Purchase.

Martin Goulko of 910 Riverside Drive
filed suit yesterday against Walter F.
Orntsbee for the appointment Of re-
ceiver for a stable of racing horses
that he says they own jointly, for a
dissolution of their partnership and an
accounting Of the property involved.
Both men were members of the Ameri-
can Cotton Exchange. Goulko. as a
director. is under indictment for permit
ting bucketing. Els brokerage office
is at 116 Broad street Ormsbee. who
formerly was senior member of the
cotton brokerage firm of Ormsbec &
Landecker of 81 Broad street, went to
New Orleans early this year. where he
is said to have joined the New Orleans
Cotton Exchange.
In papers filed by Goulko in the
action. which will come before Justice
Robert F. Wagner to-day. he explains
that his acquaintance with Ormsbee be-
gan three years ago when the lattef
was living in Nutley Their venture
in stable of racing horses was con-
ceived last July. when, Goulko says.
they bought two horses. Mother Hubbard
and Adele ST. at the Aqueduct race track
for $3.50. In August he states that they
purchased Lady Boss and Mad Lover at
Saratoga and later at the Empire City
track added Avispa and Miracle Man to
their stable.
Goulko alleges that he paid $500 into
the undertaking. and that during the
early stages of their joint enterprise
he met Ormsbee almost daily in New
York. The last meeting with Ormsbee
was in February, he alleges, when the
latter Is said to have admitted that
the venture had cost sl5.0S5 and that
Goulko had paid s5.915. Mr.. Goulko
says that he was willing to pay the
balance of his half share, but Ormsbee
never accepted 1t.
He charges that Ormsbee has sent
the horses to races without asking his
advice, that he picked George Ziegler
as trainer on his own responsibility.
and likewise changed the racing colors
of the stable without consulting him.
Goulko declares that he talked with
his partner in New Orleans over the
long distance telephone, but the latter
referred all matters concerning the
stable to their trainer. When the
trainer was asked about the condition
of the enterprise, he is said to have
remarked that he was accountable only
to Ormsbee.
Goulko says that as Avispa and Des-
tination, two of the horses in the stable.
are racing on local tracks, he wants a
receiver. to protect his interests. He
alleges that the stable has derived
$4,000 from the sale of five horses.
