A NEW SWINDLE.-Charles Gordon, ?
alias Garton, tho reputed keeper of ?
an intelligence office in the basement ?
of No. 28 Amity street, a few days
since, inserted in the German papers
thc following advertisement:
""Wanted, one hundred healthy
mea, to work on a settlement in
South Carolina. Free passage, and
two dollars and fifty eents per day.
A good chance for late emigrants.
Agreements made from 8 to 4 o'clock,
at No. 28 Amity street, basement."
A large number of young men,
most of whom were newly arrived
emigrants, attracted by the advertise?
ment, called on Gordon, and were
informed by bim that on the payment
of one dollar and fifty cents each,
tliey would be furnished a free pass?
age in the steamship Quaker City to
Charleston, South Carolina, where
employment would be guaranteed
them at the rates mentioned in thc
advertisement.
lu most cases, the money was un?
hesitatingly paid over, and since that
time the office bas been besieged by
the victims, vainly asking why the
steamer did not sail, and why they
.were not furnished with sailing tick?
ets. Finally they became convinced
that they had been swindled, and
yesterday, on the complaint of Alfred
Wentzel, residing at No. 9G Eldridge
street, Gordon was arrested by Officer
Berry, of the Fifteenth Precinct, and
taken before Justice Dodge at the
Jefferson Market Police Court, to j
answer the charge of obtaining money
by false pretences.
About 150 of the victims of the
swindler liad collected in the court
room, many of whom appeared as
witnesses against him, and their in?
vectives, applied to him in the choicest
of German, were somewhat amusing
to the spectators who had collected to
hear particulars of this novel case.
The accused declared that he was
not the proprietor of the place, mere?
ly the clerk; but, in spite of bis pro?
testations, the niap^strate committed
bini for trial iu default of $1,500bail.
In addition to the complaints above
stated, Mrs. Anna Bentley, who
rented the accused his office and re?
sides in tlie upper part of the house,
charges him with stealing from lier
mathematical instruments, valued at
$223, the property of her husband.
On this charge, lie was also commit?
ted in default of $1,500 bail.
