New’ York, Aug. 17.—Assistant Uni
ted States District Attorney Carmody
had nil his available men busy today
trying to locate two millionaire stock
brokers whose names aro almost as
well known In Wall street ns that of
John W, Gates, In order to secure them
as witnesses against Mrs. Blna F. Ver-
rauIt-Hpmllton and Mrs. James Pem
berton Brown, known as the "Cassfe
Chadwicks of New’ York.”
The search for the two Wall street
millionaire s followed revelations of tho
alleged activities of Mrs. Hurnllton and
her friend, Mrs. Brown. According to
the information which has reached the
United States district attorney, the tWo
women used theJr matrimonial bait
merely as a side Issue. The chief vic
tims, It Is alleged, were wealthy Wall
street brokers, and to get them It Is
declared that they resorted to every
thing from spiritualism to a roulette
and faro layout.
Seances and Rouletta.
Tho handsome residence of this syn
dicate In West Eighty-second street, it
Is declared, was the scene of gambling
revels, while frequently In another part
of the mansion spiritualistic seances
were going on, calculated to Impress
prospective victims with the necessity
of contributing munificently to the
syndicate's bogus stock companies.
Mrs. Brown bus furnished the brains
and Mrs. Verrault has furnished the
beauty. Twenty years ago the former
ped from Halifax with J. P. Brown,
a civil engineer. They were murried In
Brooklyn. Brown was twenty years
older than his bride. Five years ago -he
died. - The widow w ent to Boston,
where she met Blna Finnegan, who af
terwards became Mrs. Verrault.
Organized a Company.
Mrs. Brown came to New’ York and
secured a position a* a cloak model.
Later she became a stenographer for a
Wall street man. His wife died and
he asked her to marry him, but ahe re
fused.
In 1902 she Installed herself in a
mansion at 114 West Seventy-third
street. She advertised In the "per
sonal” columns of a newspaper and
scores of replies came. Then she
called upon Mrs. Verrault to go Into
partnership with her. Then they be
gan using spiritualism as a side Issue.
Mrs. Brown formed a concern W’hlch
she colled the Kentucky <*oal and Fuel
Company.' At the eennoes which w’ere
conducted by Mrs. Verrault and George
Mason. Mi’s. Brown's brother, visitors
were advised to buy stock In the Ken
tucky company.
By means of these mystic “tips”
$.*>0,000 worth of stock was sold In the
concern. A brewer who lives In Brook
lyn gave $10,<*0(» as soon as a "spirit”
told him to contribute and later he put
In $15,000 more.
