Louis Julius Lindauer (Q29788521)

Lottery Ticket Dealers. In the case in which it was sought to obtain the release of Louis Lindauer, who is undergoing imprisonment, having been convicted under an indictment charging him with doing business as a lottery ticket dealer without payment of special tax, on the ground that the law imposes penalties on lottery dealers but not on lottery ticket dealers, Judge Batchford has refused to discharge Lindauer; holding that the definition of a lottery ticket dealer given in that part of the law in posing special tax is so comprehensive as to include include any one who could possibly come under the head of a lottery dealer.

The Baldwin Robbery. The examination of Charles Lindauer, one of the persons suspected of participating in the Baldwin robbery, some time since, was continued yesterday afternoon before Justice Sandford. Lindauer persistently denies his guilt, alleging that he was in New York on the night of the robbery. Lewis Lindauer, the brother of Charles, being examined; said that the first time he was in this city before his arrest was on the 5th of December, and that he was not in the jewelry establishment of Messrs. Baldwin & Co., a few mornings previous to the robbery. He had not seen Charles in possession of any jewelry for the last two months. David Van Orden, an employee of Baldwin & Co., testified as to the appearance of things at the factory after the discovery of the robbery. He recollected two men calling at the factory about two weeks previous to the robbery, about 6 1/2 o'clock, A.M., and thought he recognized one of the prisoners (Charles). On the morning of the same day he saw on Broad street two men who looked like the persons accused. Timothy Crane, an apprentice, fully recognized Charles as one of the persons who visited the factory. The investigation is still in progress. (English)

Eloise Ensko (1925-1993) memoir

quotation

My great-grandmother Sophia married an Oscar Lindauer. They came from Alsace-Lorraine on their honeymoon, by boat. Alsace-Lorraine was then owned by the French. Great-grandmother brought a lovely picture of Napoleon over from the other side - none of which I have ever seen duplicated. It is still in the family and in excellent condition. The Lindauer family owned a huge department store over there. When the newlyweds came to this country about the early 1800's they settled in Philadelphia. The living room furniture is still in the family. I have in my possession one of the sitting chairs. It is a very pretty, light wood in color, Victorian style. It is now of heavy material and cover. Sophia and Oscar had three boys and later on one girl. The boys were Charles, Louis and John and the girl, Eloise, was named by her brother, Charles. He found it by reading a book (Heloise & Abelard). The boys were much older than Eloise. (English)
