Of the checks, with the natural handwriting a
Eldridse, rendered the conclusion inevitable that
he is that same person.
There are several corrobative circumstances
besides. 1t was in 1884, that the first fraud Of
the kind was perpetratcd in New Yorki EldridSe
was, it is said, then there; but soon after went
TO Europe with DIR. Mott. That gentleman was
robbed in Paris rather mysteriousy 1000 francs
IN gold, which he never recovered, though Ine
police of Paris made considerable exertlons Tor
that purpose, which might possibly have been
crowned with success, had the DIR. given Iced to
their hint that his companion, Eldrldge, might
know more in relation to the robbery than he
chose to let appear. Since the return OF Eldrtdse
to this country, we believe the New York banks
have again been feeced after the same fashion,
but whether or not by him, deponent saith not.
OF the many small circumstances accidentally
discovered, which caused suspicion to fall upon
Eldridge, one was, the fact of his writing most
splendidly, and being able to initiate various
handwritings exactly.
When, after full hearing, and in default of
$4,000 bail demanded, the prisoner was commit
ted for trial at the next General Sessions on the
charge of forgery his feelings found vent intears
He was taken down to prison by person whom
the Alderman specially deputed for that purpose.
search warrant was subsequently issued, and
placed in the hands Of High Constables Mclean
and Young, who made a thorough examination
of Eldridge's room at his boarding house, and
found of the money obtained by the fraudulent
checks, SIS, 200, of notes of hand for money lent
by the prisoner, and in good hands, "a 500 and
about 81 900 worth of jewelry.
1t is the opinion Of those best able to give an
opinion, that Eldridge had assistants in his
fraud, but perpetrated it himself alone; hence
probably his long impunity, which doubtless
would have continued much longer, had not the
casual combinations of several trivial circum-
stances fixed suspicion upon him.
To explain his singular conduct in remaining
so long amid the scene of his frauds, continually
Drawing detection, is not so easy, unless the fact
that he was engaged to be married to young,
interesting, and highly intelligent lady of this
city, in two or three days, and was to have then
set out at once for Europe, may be sufficient for
that purpose.
