By Private Leased Wire.
New York, Aug. 17.—Assistant Uni
ted States District Attorney Carmody
had all his available men busy today
trying to locate two millionaire stock
brokers whose names are almost as
well known In Wall street as that of
John W. Gates, In order to secure them
as witnesses against Mrs. Blna F, Ver-
ruult-Hurnllton and Mrs. James Pem
berton Brown, known as the “Cassle
Chadwicks of New York.”
The *earch 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 ha* reached the
United States district attorney, the two
women used their matrimonial bait
merely ns a side Issue. The chief vic
tims, It Is alleged, were wealthy Wall
street brokers, nnd to get them It Is
declared that they resorted to every
thing from spiritualism to a roulette
and faro layout.

dicate In West Eighty-second street. It

revels, while frequently In another part
of the mansion spliltuallHtic seances
were going on, calculated to Impress
prospective victims with the necessity
of contributing munificently to the
syndicate’s bogus stock companies.

beauty. Twenty year* ago the former
eloped from Halifax with J. P. Brown,
a civil engineer. They were married In
Brooklyn. Brown wa* 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. Verrauit.

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 she re
fused.
In 1902 she Installed herself In a
mansion at 114 West Seventy-third
street. Hhe advertised In the ”per-
sonal” column* of a new*paper and
scores of replies came. Then she
called upon Mrs. Verrauit to go Into
partnership with her. Then they be
gan using spiritualism a* a side Issue.
Mrs. Brown formed a concern which
she called the Kentucky Coni and Fuel
Company. At the seance* which were
conducted by Mrs. Verrauit and George
Mason. Mr*. Brown’s brother, visitor*
were advised to buy stock In the Ken
tucky company.
By means-of these mystic ’ tip*"
$60,000 worth of stock wan sold in the
concern. A brewer who live* In Brook
lyn gave $10,000 a* soon as a "spirit”
told him* to contribute and later he put
In $15,00q more.
