Hundreds of Pieces Of Jewelry
Reported Taken by Broker
From Women 'Clients.'
TICKETS IN NYACk HOME
Wife's Whereabouts Is Kept
Secret-Lindsay Formerly
a Strike Breaker.
TICKETS IN NYACK HOME

The discovery that Alfred L. Lindsay
pawned hundreds of pieces of jewelry,
part of the s1.o00,000 he is alleged
to have obtaine from women prominent
socially and professionally, was made
yesterday by Richard C. Murphy As
sistant District Attorney.
Mr.. Murphy said Lindsay had pawned
the articles over a period of several
years and with various pawnbrokers.
He could give no approximate estimate
of the value OF the jewelry. In most
cases Lindsay used the name of Lind
in disposing OF the goods.
Much of the jewelry. according to Mr..
Murphy, fits the description of the gems
Lindsay is said to have obtained from
Mrs. Lillian y. Duke. Lindsay told the
District Attorney that he had many
more pawntickets in his home at Nyack
and would make an effort to procure
them. 1t is not known how much OF
the goods can be recovered. as many OF
the pieces Of jewelry undoubtedly have
been sold and cannot be traced.
Lindsay, who is still in the Tombs
awaiting trial, yesterday continued to
keep secret the whereabouts of his wife,
who, he says, is stopping with friends
in the city, but is Frustrated with ILL.,
ness. He told Mr.. Murphy. however.
that he would tell where he could find
her If he would promise not to ask her
to go to his office in the Criminal Courts
Building on the ground that she was
physically unable to do so.
In addition TO two new letters con-
tanning complaints against the broker.
which were received yesterday by the
District Attorney Mrs. Laura Marling
of 457 West 151st street called on Mr.
Murphy and told him that she had recog-
nized Lindsay from newspaper pictures.
as the AL Post she had known in 1908
At that time she said he was conduct
ing joint private detective and strike
breaking agen,y. with an Office in Forty
second street, near Fifth avenue.
Lindsay continues to make offers to
placate his accusers. Of whom there are
fifteen or more. Yesterday he followed
his remark of the day before, that he
could sell coal and make enough money
to pay back the losses" with the promise
that he could settle everything by 1924
II freed.
Mr.. Murphy has taken over the books
of the Pacific Mirera, and Mining Com
pany. OF which Lindsay was once an
officer. but has not yet had time to
examine them. Major Redondo Sutton
and DR.. A. e. Endlin, officers OF the
company at the present time, have
offered TO do all in their power TO help
the District Attorney in his case against

foreign exchange swindler pockets the
money of this client.
The ways OF accomplishing this are
various Several of the more conspic-
uous which have come before Mr.. Will
ney's staff follow:
When the victims money is received
for investment in foreign exchange he
is Informed that it is necessary to send
the money to Europe before the tran
saction can be consummated. There
fore, the victim gets a receipt for the
money and date of delivery of marks.
francs, lire, or whatever the purchase
represents, is fixed at six months away
Six months later the victim returns
for delivery and finds the office closed
and everybody gone.
Another way in which the victim is
swindled is by taking his money and
giving him what appears to be a con-
tract for delivery, which on close ex-
animation of voluminous small print
turns out to be a sixty or ninety day
option. though the victim has made
full payment for the purchase. If the
broker does not pocket the money out
right Immediately. trusting to luck TO
get out OF the consequences later. he
makes the purchase as agreed. but
holds it for the life of the option.
In that case the broker simply is
taking chance on the market with
his customers money. II the price
goes up he requires additional money
from his client, and holds on to the
purchase until the additional funds are
forthcoming. He then consummates
the deal and takes down the profit
which his customers money made. Or,
on the other hand, III the broker has
reason to believe the rate of exchange
Is going lower he can wait until the
lowest figure seems to have been
reached. make his purchase az that
figure and pocket the difference be-
tween that and the price which he
took from the customer.
Traveller Takes Money Away.
Another trick which has been used
to take money from thousands is an
advertisement-usually also in foreign
language publcations-in which the
advertiser represents himself going to
Europe on business and Offering out Of
the kindness of his heart to carry
messages or money to friends or rela-
tives OF persons living in this country.
Interviews following such advertise
ments set forth the suffering existing
In the European country to which he
Is going; the great need not only OF
the inhabitants of the country, pos
sibly including the friends and rela-
tives of persons living here. but the
patriotic act involved in sending money
back to that stricken land The swim
dler gives the name of some promi-
in the European country to which he
is going as the concern whom he rep
resents and establishes confidence in
that manner.
Usually such a swindler actually
goes to Europe. but either he does not
deliver the money or he converts it
into the currency of that country he
visits and takes advantage Of the rate
OF exchange.
This form of swindle has been fairly
well stamped out recently, and vigilant
watch is kept by the Department of
Labor TO prevent its repetition. But
the foreign exchange game still is be-
ing operated in many ways TO fleece
the unwary. as is evidenced by the
fact that q flock Of complainants num-
bering between fifty and one hundred
when some swindler of this sort is
taken to court is not infrequent.
