New York, Aug. 17.—Assistant Uni ted Staten District Attorney Carmody had all his available men busy today trying to locate two millionaire stock brokers whose names nre almost as well known in Wall street as that of John W. Oates, In order to secure them as witnesses against Mrs. Blna F. Ver- rault-Hainilton and Mrs. James Pem berton Brown, known as the "Casslo Chadwicks of New York.” The search for the two Wall street millionaires followed revelations of the alleged activities of Mrs. Hamilton and her friend, Mrs. Brown. According to the Information which has reached the United State? district attorney, the two women used their matrimonial bait merely as a side issue. The chief vic tims, it Js 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. 8««nc«a and Roulette.i The handsome residence of this syn dicate In West Klghty-second street, it is declared, was the scene of gambling revels, while frequently # ln 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 has furnished the brains and Mrs. Verrault has furnished the beauty. Twenty years ago the former eloped from Halifax with J. P. Brown, a civil engineer. They were married In Brooklyn. Brown w.us twenty years older than his bride. Five years ago he died. The widow went to Boston, where she met Blna Finnegan, who af terwards became Mrs. Verrault. Organized a Company. Mrs. Brovin came to New York and secured a position as a cloak model. L.at?r she became a stenographer for a Wall street man. His w*lfe died, and he asked her to marry him, but she re fused. In 1902 she installed herself In a mansion at 114 West Hevcnty-thlrd street. She advertised In the "per- sonul” 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 ns a side issue. Mrs. Brown formed a concern which she cnlled the Kentucky Coal and Fuel Company. At the seances which were conducted by Mrs. Verrault and George Mason, Mrs. 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 $10,000 as soon as a "spirit” told him to contribute and later he put In $15,000 more. LOW FREIGHT BATES SECUREDJN ROADS Speclni to The Georgian.
