the business community, more especially as new for
! oeri.s are daily being discovered. The aggregate
amount Of these forgeries far as known to the au
,ho,i,,. ia AS 100 but this sum, ii is thought VII
No, cover one fourth of them. Many firms It ia ru-
rorea Who have lost large sums by discounting the
forged paper keep the matter quiet fearing to nJure
,.eir credit by an expose. The case is now under eX
animation before Justice Osborne and in addition to
| .bs testimony taken on Saturday, an affidavit was
| made bv Mr.. VIM. Ii. Harbeck, of the firm OF Har-
bck 4 Co No 60 Wall street, setting forth that his
firm loaned money to Huntington on four promssory
notes purporting TO have been made by Phelps Dodge
4 20 and amounting to 81. 500 all of which notes
are so,ceries Other firms besides those already re-
norted are said TO have been imposed upon with the
| forced paper and among them label, Jenning 4
! Co. who hold one of the notes for S666S; tbsdeH
| Pierson & Lake hold note for 1851 oil; Sackeu
| Belcher 4 Co., one for s5,5l9.
Huntington has been visited in prison by his friends
and asked to name the extent of the fraud He, how
ever clr es giving any particulars but says he thinks
half million will cover il. He has been carrying on
| his operations for some months, and was discovered
once before but as he paid back the advance the mat
fer was bushed up. II was, undoubtedly, his inten-
ton to keep bis operations still as long as possible, by
returning the assets loaned TO him, before the paper
came due but carelessness his part in allowing one
Of the notes to fall DUE and be presented for payment
to the firm whose name he had forged revealed the
transactions.
