Looks like 1 & 3 are connected together to make pin 1
Pin 3 is the other end of the resistor.
 
So, pin 1 & pin 3 connected as in and out will act as a constant resistor value
 
Pin 2 is the tuneable pin, and pin 4 is a for bypass.
 
To hook it up, ground pin 1, apply input to pin 3 and take pin 2 as the output.

As it sits, facing us, the pins are from left to right; 1, (circle 1), 2, 3, 4.
The two #1 pins seem connected together. These are one end of the element (the ground end).
Pin 2 (the middle pin) is the wiper.
Pin 3 is the other end of the element. The signal end.
Pin 4 is a shield.
 
The pattern repeats front to rear for four channels.
 
You should double check this with a meter.
