Theatrical Swindle Nets Two Years for Caswell

In a Superior Criminal Court, Judge Fesenden sentenced Charles E. Caswell to two years and six months in the House of Correction for conspiracy to cheat and defraud. With William J. Ellis, Caswell lured victims with promises of theater jobs in Waltham and Lynn, taking about $4000 from more than half a dozen people. Victims included Simon P. Stewart who deposited $350 and Moses G. Leonard whose son Frank paid $300, while others lost amounts ranging from $30 to $600. Caswell and Ellis ran Metropolitan Opera House in Waltham before moving to Lynn, using deposits as security and claiming loans, with profits to be shared and salaries promised but rarely paid. Six or more victims from rural districts were defrauded. Caswell denied sharing more than $60, claiming it was a loan. The sentence follows three months in jail, bringing total punishment close to the maximum for the offense.
