ARREST IN BIG MINE DEAL.

W. T. Wintemute Accused of Defrauding Lady Tankerville.

Special to The Washington Post.

New York, Aug. 11.—Postoffice inspectors and headquarters detectives made a raid today on the offices of William T. Wintemute, accused of using the mails to project a mining stock deal which is held to be fraudulent. Wintemute is credited with having made about $1,300,000 in the last ten years. He was arrested just on the eve of a trip to Europe.

Among the half ton of mining stock and prospectuses seized and carted off to headquarters were letters which show that one of Wintemute's London agents was Hermann Warszawiaks, who went into bankruptcy after obtaining large subscriptions for his paper, the Jewish Christian, and a mission for converting Jews to Christianity.

Among those whom Warszawiaks interested in Wintemute's Gold Run Mine and Tunnel Company in London were Lady Tankerville and Miss Henritte Elout, of Glendale, Lunbridge Wells, England, who took $45,000 of the stock.
