| Arrival Of Kissane, the Bank Forgsr-His
Movements-Recovery Of $500.
From the New York American Tin

From the New York American Times.i
Sergs Hogan, Of the Reserve Corps who
some days since, was dispatched to Clarence
Hollow. fourteen miles from Buffalo, in COM
pany with Mr. Parsons, first teller of the Chem.
ical Bank, for the purpose of bringing to
this city VIM. Kissane, the Bank Forger who
had there been arrested, yesterday returned
to the city with the prisoner whom he had
had taken on a warrant issued by the Court
OF Sessions, on an indictment found against
him for having obtained sI4,80O from the
Chemical Bank, on forged paper. On his ar.
rival, he was taken to the office of the Chict
of Police, and locked up in cell.
1t appears that after his escape from Mar.
shall Ruffin of Cincinnati, in September last
he made his way to Rochester, disguised as a
newly arrived Irishman, and from there pro
ceeded to Buffalo, where friend took him
thence to farm house Of one William Spar
row, fourteen miles from that city, whore he
remained for Eve months, working on the farm
and occasionally visiting Buffalo with produce.
He concOcted plan to make money faster tina
he was then doing, and soon commenced pas
sing altered Bank bills, some of which he gave
to his employer, who in the course Of business
passed them to another farmer named Zant,
and this man preferred q complaint against
Sparrow, and caused his arrest. To clear him
self, Sparrow stated that he had obtained the
notes of Kissane then known as Lynch, who
was arrested by Zant. 1t was then ascertain
ed that Sparrow's wife had in her possession,
some money belonging to Lynch, and upon
its being demanded she handed over thirteen
$500 bills on tho Chemical Bank of this city
1t was then suspected by the Buffalo police
that Lynch was tho notorious kissane, who
had defrauded the above bank out of nearly
$l5, 900, and they secured him, and telegrsphed
to the chief of police of this city. In the
mean time the prisoner was kept with hand
cuffs upon him, and in that situation he was
conveyed to the city. On the way, he stated
that Sergeant Reed was in no way to blame
for his escape from Hornellsyille, in Septem.
Der last, he being at the time in charge of
Marshal Rufin, while Reed was asleep in an.
other part OF the car, he having been de.
prived of rest for nearly twenty-four hours
previous, and had placed his prisoner in charge
of the Marshal while he took nap.
Kissane is also charged with having obtain j..
ed $500, from the American Exchange Bank
on forged paper. This took place, it is alleged
about the same time he made the draw on the
Chemical Bank. He is we'll educated man,
of good address, and o smart business man
dis trial will probably take place at the next
tern. of the Court of General Sessions Farm
or Zant, it is understood, will claim the reward
which was offered for his arrest.
