The EXTENSIVE FRAUD IN New YoRK.-The N. Y.
Herald, OF Saturday, aludDg to the arrest of Hun
tlngon, broker there, charge of forgery, says:
Additional and somewhat astounding Developments
have been made in relation to the extensive FORGE
ries committed upon Phelps Dodge & Co., since our
first account of the transaction appeared in type. 1t
is now believed that 100000 worth of forged
promlsory notes on the above firm have been execu-
ted by Huntington, and that he has been engaged in
specuahng for some time past, upon 10 ms raised
upon these forged notes In one instance the ac-
cused paid back the loan and redeemed the note
which was forged and entirely vaueless, and thus
the fraud was not discovered. The holder of the
note did not think is worth his while 10 make in
quIries regarding the paper, supposng it 10 be all
right, and II was not until Thursday that the trick
was made manifest.
Soon after the arrest Of Huntington was made his
bail IN the other appeared before Judge Con.
molly and surrendered the accused, fearing that he
might take ii into his head to walk off some fine
morning. and leave them minus $4,000. The
prisoner was then committed to prison on the two
charges of forgery, in default of $4,000 bail.
A letter from New York says:
Huntington is whose credit and standing in
the streets have been unexceptionahle. He is very
respectfully and fasfionably connected. His opera
tons create great sensation in social in finan-
al circles But few particulars of his transactions
are known yet, and naturally enough, strong
effort is making to keep the affair quiet as posi-
Bile.
