BRANTLEY INJOUHTY JAIL
In Toils of Federal Courts on Numer
ous Fraud Charges.
THINK WITTMAN IS STILL ALIVE
Woman Who Posed as the Wife of
AVI tt man Is Now In Omahn Un
der Bond to Appear In.
Conrt Here. "
In charge of United States Marshal
lohnson. Dr. K. D. Brantley, under fed
eral Indlotment here - was brought to
Omaha Tuesday from Memphis. Tenn.,
where he was arrested November i. to
appear In the I'ntted States district court
un a charge of fraud. The date for a
hearing has not been set Brantley, in
default of S3.000 ball, I held at the
county jail.
The September grand jury brought an
indictment against Brantley, X. W. Witt
rr.an, and the woman who posed as Mrs.
Wlttman, jointly. Their fraudulent acts
are alleged to have been in connection
with the operations of the Electro
Oxygen company, which last spring had
offices at S1S-17 National Fidelity build,
ing, and of which Wlttman la said to
have been the real head. The federal
authorities believe that, although he has
sought to give the impression that he was
drowned, Wittman Is alive. Mrs. Wltt
man, at liberty on H.COO bonds, came to
Omaha Monday from Louisville, Ky., to
appear in court.
Secoud Arrest.
This Is the second time that Brantley,
who has been a practicing physician at
Memphis, has been arrested, having been
taken Into custody upon a warrant Is
sued last May by the United States com
missioner at Omaha He was released by
I
the Memphis court on the ground that
he had acted only as, an employe of the
alleged defrauding concern. His arrest
at this time comes as the result of a cer
tified copy, of -.the Indictment sent to
Memphis ' by United ' Btates Attorney F.
8. Howell.
At the time that a warrant was Is
sued for his arrest, Wlttman evaded the
authorities here, but was later appre
hended at Colorado Springs. He there
furnished bonds to appear In court here.
He then went to New York City. A little
later clothing, Identified as belonging to
him, was found on the banks of theHud
son river, tending to give the Impression
that Wlttman had drowned. The au
thorities here are sceptical as to this.
Indictment In Three Counts.
The Indictment against the alleged
swindlers Is In three counts. It cites the
names of three persons who claim to
have been defrauded because of misrep
resentations or hr lSlcctro-Oxygeii com
lany These are W H Harrison, Mrs.
M. Shafer and M. P. Jordan, neference
Id made to "divers other persons'' al
leged to have been swindled.
The first count, Including tho charges
of the second and third, sets forth the
allegation that it was represented through
advertisements In dally papers of Omaha
that electro-oxygen was the "latest and
greatest discovery of the twentieth cen
tury," and that it was a balm for al
most every physical ailment to which a
human being Is heir; that the president
of the company, a New York nerve spe
cialist, was then April 1, 1911-In Omaha
arranging for the opening of permanent
offices; that St was claimed that the com
pany was "prepared to give patients the
greatest treatment the world has ever
Known'" that all of these claims were
false.
AdTrrfUrd Srruui.
The indictment further chargesMhat the
company udvertlsfrd a "Fredman" serum,
in an effort to give the Impression that
the serum discovered by Dr. Friedman
was being lefemd to. Also thai the
company was going to Install a tS.OOO ma
chine for giving treatments and that an
expert bacteriologist had been retained
by the company.
It Is. charged that these representations
Induced patients to come to the com
pany's offices:, that the patients were
inveigled Into signing an agroamcnt to
pay Urge sums of money in consideration
of treatment to be given them until they
were cured; that they never roctlved
Buch treatment.
Specifically charging use of the nails
to defraud, the Indictment says that a
copy of a dally paper, containing the ad
vertisements objected to, was mailed
here April 10,
ORAL DAYS SET APART
AT THE COMMERCIAL HIGH
1 The teachers of English In the High
, School of Commerce are laying stress
I ekpecially on the development of oral
ability la the English students. So-called
oral days hare been put Into use. when
oral reports and oral exercises of various
torts are assigned as lessons. In the
exposition classes -current events are dis
cussed in class and editorials written
thereon. In the twelfth grade classes a
study fs being made of extemporaneous
speeches. These oral drills, it is thought,
will be excellent preparation for those
who expect to take a place In the com
mercial world, and In helping the boys
and girls to express their thoughts in the
best manner possible.
