WITH OTHER FOLKS' MONEY
A Young San Bernardino Law=
yer Goes Away
STOLE FROM HIS CLIENTS
Made Unprofitable Investments With tbe
Money
B. E. Rowell, the Guilty Party, Is In El
Paso and Is Probably Headed
for Mexico
SAN BERNARDINO, Sept. 21.— E. E.
Rowell, one ot the most prominent at
torneys of this city, has been out of town
for two weeks and developments have re
vealed a very serious state of affairs witn
refcienca to his relations to somo of his
clients. Where Mr. Rowell Is at present
cannot be learned from any of the mem
bers of his family or business associates,
but from other sources it is learned th»t
he is in El Faso, Texas.
Them are two particular transactions
witb which the present difficulties have
to do, one of which has already been set
tled to those in interest, and the other,
In which two notes for $11000, said to be
forgeries, figure, and remain to be ad
justed. Both of these linancial transac
tions are directly connected with Mrs.
Sarah C Hinckley.
Rowell was her attorney, und had
handled considerable money for her.
Some time ago, Mrs. Hinckley say« Row
ell came to her and lold her ho knew of
an investment which would require
something over $3000, but which would
be very profitable, and on this representa
tion Mrs. Hinckley says sho furnished
tiie money.
Whether this investment was made as
represented Mrs. Hinckley does not
know. Howell's friends say tbat it was
inane, and that it turned out unprofita
ble and that the principal was lost.
However tbat may be, in July Mrs.
Hinckley began to press the matter, and
I o demand of the attorney that he mako
some showing with reference to it or
furnish socurrity for tho money. The
matter was pressed so strongly that tho
attorney was forced to do something, and
he tbereforu turned over to Mrs. Hinck
ley a mortgage on his mother's homo
place, at the corner of Fifth and E
streets, in this city, the mortgage pur-
Jioiting to have been executed by Mrs.
Kowell in favor of her son.
When tje mortgage was given Mrs.
Hinokley. at the same time Rowell re
quested tbat it be not placedd on record,
and the requestjwas complied with, until
a few days ago. when Mrs. Hinckley was
advised that her mortgage might be made
secondary to seme other claims if it was
not recorded, and it was therefore filed.
It bas been stated that this motgagewas
a forgeiy, and that Mrs. Kowell had not
signed it, nor did she know of its exist
ence. Mrs. Rowell was seen at her son's
horns In Urbita tbis morning and said
tbat the signature was not forged. She
■ays aba executed the mortgage in Los
Angeles, and that she knew wnnt it was
ana what it was to be used for.
But tbe mortgage It seems was not
large enogb to cover all tnat was olairaed
by Mrs. Hinokley as due from Rowell.
Not or.lr tbe money woich was to be in
vested, bqt some collections and other
minor Jsums were to he accounted for
■nd in all about $4500, and Mrs. Hinck
ley demanded settlement in full, when
she, learaed of Bowella' absence. This
wns effected two days ago by Mrs. Bow
el], the mother of the uttorney, deeding
ncr home outright to Mrs. Sarah C.
Hinckley in full of all claims held by'the
latter against E. E. Rowell. That mat'
ter has therefore been satisfactorily ad
justed. Mrs. Kowell said this morning
that she did not dead away her property
to cover any money which had oeen mis
appropriate d, but funds which hud been
entrusted to him and which hud been in
vested disastrously.
The most serious phase of the difficulty
at present is two notes, ono for $1000 and
one for $2000, now held by It. K. Annable
for collection, whicli are made payable to
Josephine Hinckley, a resident of Rhode
Island, and which purport to have been
signed by Surah 0, Hinckley of this city.
By the latter the signature is pronounced
a forgery, and if this should be estab
lished it will remain for Kowell to ac
count for the notes, since they were de
livered by him to K. K. Annable, attor
ney for Josephine Hinckley.
Frank Hinckloy, tho deceased husband
of Sarah C. Hinckley, during his life
time gave an annuity note to Josephine
Hinckley in return for 11000, which came
originally from their fatner's estate. The
interest on tho annuity amounted to $t4O,
and at her husband's death, Mrs. Sarah
0. Hinckley determined to pay the note.
The matter was arranged, and. she says
she gave Kowell. acting as her attorney.
$4000 in checks witli which to pay the note.
Mr. Kowell paid the note through At
torney Annable, but paid ii with $1000 in
cash, and the two notes, ono for $1000
and one for $2000, and bearing the signa
ture of Sarah C. Hincklev. This was in
February of the preaont year.
'Jibe lirst that Mrs. Sarah C. Hinckloy
knew of these notes was on Thursday,
when Mr. Annable notitiod hor that one
of tbe notes fell due October Ist, and
that payment would be expected. Mrs.
Himkley at once interviewed the lawyer
and pronounced the signature a forgery.
She also Mated that she had given Kow
ell,lthen acting as her attorney, $4000 in
bank chocks, with which to pay oH the
annuity note in full, and that sho had
not given the other notes, nor did she
know an;.■thing about tbem.
Tho notes are still in Mr. Annable's
bauds, and no further proceedings have
been decided upon.
A number of other charges nre also
made against Kowell, notably one to the
effect that he has bested his partner to
tbe extent of more than $1000, but Judge
lirtinson is out of town today and no
statement from him could |be"secured.
It is understood, however, that he has
made the statement to several attorneys
In tbis city.
In all nearly $10,000 has been discov
ered missing in one way or another.
Kowell Is un adopt in the Spanish lan
guage, and it is supposed he is headed
for Mexico, if prosecutions are begun.
AFTER THE BIG FIGHT.
Owing to the success of the fiesta the
committee has in contemplation another
event in the amusement line tbat if se
cured will place San Bernaardino at the
bead of tbe cities of the coast as v sport
ing center. Tho recent success of the
four clays' festival shows that the busi
ness men are alive, go-ahead people, full
of Dusn and energy, ready at all times to
assist. The chairman of the fiesta com
mitteo has telegraphed to Richard K.
Fox of New York city, through whose
hands most of tho great sporting events
of the country must pass, either for ar
rangement or arbitration, as he is the
recognized authority on everything from
v ball game to a yacht race, offering the
use of the amphitheater ior the coming
C'orbett-Fitzsiiumons boxing match, and
guaranteeing a purse ot $06,000 ior the
occasion as a prize.
Should tbey conclude to come here the
amphitheater can ba enlarged and ar
ranged to seat 30,000 people, which would
be neeesiary on sucb an occasion, and
the event will be tbe greatest niatjh that
has ever taken nl»co in this city. An
answer is expected as soon as a conference
can be held with the managers of the
contest at Dallas and learn whether it
can take plaoe tbere or not.

The Antrim Millions
Robert Antrim carries a lantern and
watches other people's property in tbe
stock yards by night and by day dreams
of bis share in tho $80,000,001) worth of
property left in England by the late Lord
Antrim. About three months ago he
learned that the last heir to the estate in
England had died. He immediately sent
a letter of inquitry to the American em
bassaor in London and received an answer
August sth, which recitjd that such au
estate existed and advised him to engage
a solicitor to push his claims. He did
so and is now awaiting another answer
from London. There are about 125
Americans who believe tnemnelves An
trim heirs nnd they are scattered all over
tbe United States. Among them are Mrs,
K. I. River of Chicago, Mrs. C. P. Bar
rowM and" W. H. Parsons ef San Bernar
dino, Cal., and Mrs. Lucy Forsytbe of
Nelson, Neb. They trace their lineage
hack to John Antrim, wbo came to
America with William t'enn and was a
brother, it is claimed, of Lord Antrim of
Ireland. A 1 hei s across the water being
dead, the American Antrims are dream
ing of wealth.—Chicago Times-Herald.
