The Late Extensive Forgeries In Baltimore.
From the baltimore American, Dec.
Quite IN excitement has existed IN the north
western section Of the city for several days past in
consequence Of the disc ivory Of heavy f0rgeres by
man named Jacob F. K'idler, who, moro than .
builder, and enjoyed Ga extensive patronage, -
well AZ the confidence Of . large circle OF acquain
tancts. His opsrstious In the forgery line are sup
posed to have commsncsd near , . year ago, but
weeks since. A forged note for $500 WAS than
traced TO him. and be confessed having hand in it,
bus promised to discover 70 tie parties his accom-
pncs. allowed time. IN was s Known when me , ds
Tor Kridler eau scarcely write legiby his own name,
and the forgeres wore perpetrated BY IN a6ep. in
penDanship. Being longer than i: was thought

again asked to do 30, which he promised 70 do at
once.
On Thu,sda Of last week. however, be ieft the

were others to large amount, al! OF which had
been negotiated, and were In the ha,ds OF other
parties. Thus far forgeres t. the amount Of $626l
promissory notes pnrportiug to be drawn By Geo.
H. Mittnscht for $500 each one puroortin0 70 be
drawn by H. Crout FOR $780, and one by H. VII
lisms, for $500, all aysbe to the order Of Krider
6hirk, and also on Black 4 Portland, bat TO what
amount we were unable yesterday 70 ascertain. or
these foreeres, two notes, for $500 each, were NO
gotia.ed by Mr.. Joseph Passens; three BY another
psrty-one for 81 200 and two $500 each and t~o
BY Mr.. William G. Conine-cne for $3.50 and one for
1881. We are informed that shor: time before he
left the city KridIer borro Sed 500 from Mr.. g. H.
Hyde, $500 from Mr.. Chas. F. YsrdIey, $500 from
MIR. John Vaughn, and 5000 from Mr.. y. Armi
tage. It is also stated that Col. John ". Watkins
loses $500 which he accommodated him with, and
Mr.. VIM. Frush $3.50, as his endorssr on . note
0rewn by Krioler.
His chimes did not stop him, for IL xppears that
he was equally good at other kirds Of fOrgeres, as
we'll as pr0miseOry notes. Not long since he built
two handsome dwelling houses on Tiffany square,
Of which he cold TO Mr. relan, and the other to
Mr.. CONNIE. To avoid detection In the sale Of
these hui dingy he presented release purp0rng TO
be given by Messra. Miller & Brother, who painted
them, which proves 10 be a forgery, and they WIN
resort 70 the AID Of the lien law 20 procure the
amount due them. There II also claim Of 81, 260
due Aessrr. Turner & Gard!ey, for materials fur
nished, upon which An attach ment has bseA issued.
X idler was supposed % be an homes. msu, and
there were few in the whole circle OF his Acquan-
aDces who did not believe hum pious men. he
employ ed large nun Der Of workmen, several OF
whom, making more than was necessary for their
support left the surplus IN his hands, having every
confidence that they could get III whenever they
pleaseo to ask fer IL. Some OF these bad 500 and
some 5000 still due them when he absorbed, and
they are left without employ msnt and without the
means OF support. These the greatest sufferers,
and the loss falls .. this time with crushing
weight upon them. K,idler has wife and severai
children, and Iesided with them ia Biddie street.

place from which Krislsr came to Ibis city.

as cloak under which 70 carry on mis- refarous
practices. On the cay Of bis departure nc Dor
rowed all the money he possibly couls, and il is
supposed took with him consider lble .moUyt. II
is sa,d that he was traced as far as Wheeling, but
tire report prevails tsat he a.arted for the Pacific
coast Hif busif ess liabilities !: ia stated are
$50 600, for the ayment OF which -nere Is nothing
which has taken place IN cue city for long time,
ana has consequently caused good deal OF excite

amount his foreeres have reached.
The AMERICAN Of the 9th inst, gives she follow
ing additional fscts;-Tne excit msn. consequent
upon the forgeries committed oy Jacob f. Kridler,
upon many Of our citizens has no: aha.ed, ~ there
are luther discoveries Of his dshoness proceedings.
There is DO section Of the city which nas escaped
his 6nan al operations, and generally the amounts
Of bis Indebtedness and frauds are nos less than
sums Of $500 In every instance. We learned yester
day tt at be was indebted to M. John Reese to the
amount OF twelve hundred dollars Tor bricks for
nshed in his building operations, besides which Mr..
John Mann, Of Howard street, loses 6f<en hundred
dollars, and John II. Thomas EAq., The sum Of five
hu1 dred dollars Two more Of the forged pro mis-
sorry notes bsvs como to light. They are IN the
possession Of Mr.. william Ward, ana arc for ave
hundred dollars each. II n arss supposed that
the woskmen who did tho work for Kridler would
be enabled to recover their money by the aid Of the
lien law, but not having kept an account Of the
partionlsr buildings on which t1e work was dor
and q NOE OF the time, they are unable 70 max

whole.
ed to his woikmen to the amount Of nearly two
thousand dollars. For several weeks before he left.
to macy OF his men he paid no money, while 70 tho
Others be only paid about half the amount due to
them. His family is said to have lived prpdenty,
and expended NO more than was required for COM
fort, though he was indebted TO nearly AL the g1o
GERS, provision men and druggists in bis neighbor-
hood. There WAY very little money due 70 MIN, and
II Is supposed, from the large operations In which
he was engaged, that he had in his possession sew
eral thousands OF dolors he left the city His

which be obtained money, amount in the aggregate
TO nearly $4,000. We stated yesterday, that Col.
John. w. Watkins had'lost $500 by Kridler; but We
