Mexico Uiiy, Jan. 31. —Another
bold swindle has been brou. lit to
light here by which New York
business men have been cheated
out of s2l OCX,.
It appears I hat last autumn a
man giving b s name as Frederick
P. Graham, claiming to be a
half bro’.hea to the criminal law
yer, John Graham of New York
and married to a grandniece of
Sir Ribert P*el, persuaded three
or four New Yorkers to go in o
phosphat mining in the state
of Oaxaca, and | presentu g
that rich phosphate deposits were
on the market aad he (Graham)
could get then.
Graham further reported that
he had organized here a company
known as the Mexican Phosphate
mineral Company, and when the
new parties were taken into the
concern Graham was u made treas
urer and president.
Recently two parties from New-
York came here to inspect their
prosperity, which they had put
up momey forj and now they find
that there is no phosphate and
and that Graham has fled, taking
all available cash with him
Graham plaved the game very
boldly, representing that he was
in close'oneb with the highest
officials and bring 1 flu®nce
to protect and in case
any of these wanted
they would be forthcoming. The
police think Graham is one the
gang that swindled Franke of
Chicago.

ACan’a, Ga. Jan., 31 —John
Quinn, freight engi.ie c r on the
Georg'a Pacific branch of tie
Southern, a respectal le looking
"oung man, originally from Dal
ton, is behii d the bars at the police
station, charg'd with cutraging
Miss Pearl Clary, who resid s on
Simpson St.
Miss Cary is l< t quite seven
teen jearsot age. She has light
brown hair and gray eyes. She is
rather frail and delicate for her
age and h«# been treated as a pet
by her family.
Thera is a most remarkable
state of affairs in the Clary family
Mr. Clary is divorced from his
wife, and she has married a second
husband by the name of Carey,
holds a responsible position
with the Southern railway. Carey
lives in the same bouse with bis
wife’s first husband, Clary, and
Miss Pearl and her older sister.
the young girl’s story
The full account of the assault
g'ven by Miss Clary is as follows!
“Mr. Qhinn called at my home
about half past 5 o’clock in the
afternoon . He had been there
about an hour when he ihowtd
me a beautiful diamond ring and
said something about giving it to
me. I had been my moth
er and father never to accept any
jewelry as a present from young
men, and I declined even to take
the ring in my hand. Hi asked
me to play on the organ, and I did
so, and while I had my back turn
ed to him and was playing, he
came up behind me and before I i
knew what he was about, he had
taken hold of me and I was thrown
to the floor. With one hand about
my throat, io I could not scream,
and with an open knife in the
other hand, he assaulted me. I
was so frightened I must have
fainted, for when I became con
scious I looked about un aid he
was gone.”
what the man says.
Quinn was seen in his cell yes
terday afternoon, and to a leport
er he made the following statement
for publication:
“I am innocent of even laying
the weight of my hand on that
young girl. I have known the
family about fifteen years and
have visited Miss Pearl*- several
times. I called yesterday afternoon
and stayed in the parlor with her
until 8:35, when I left, and we
parted ihe best of friends. Why.
r he even assisted me in putting on
tny overcoat. I never offered hei
the ring but l.ad bought it f-J
myfelf. She asked me if I would
not come to see her again e cl,
and I told her I wculd call Sun
day afternoon. I can’t imagine
why they should+l’ve made this
fearful charge against me unless
it is an attempt to force me to
■narry the girl or extort money
from me. It is a teTible tiling to
make such an accusa’iou against
an innocent person. I shoveled
coal stv ral years hoping someday
t • bo an engineer, and now- jist as
the hopes ol my life have boon re
alized here I am confronted with a
horrible crime, of which lam a
innocent as an in heaven. I
■suppose I will lose my po ition
and all the long years of slaving
will result in nothing. I know
they can do me gnat injury, for 1
can secure no witiu sses and the
