EXTENSIVE FORGERY OF AUSTRIAN BANK
BILLS

Nlthln a lew days past an extensive forgery of
Austrian Bank notes has been discovered in this
CITY, the particulars of which are as follows as near
as our reporter could ascertain: 1t appears that
about six months or more ago, Gustavus Spever, a
banker, doing business at No. ~ Broadway, was
called upon by man, apparently fOreipner. who
desired to sell him some Austrian Bank notes or
Bills. The stranger produced the bills and Mr.
Speyer, considering them genuine, purchased about
Sl,5OO worth of the money, which was in one hun
dred guder notes on the National Bank of Aus
tria. Subsequently, Mr.. Speyer sent the notes to
Europe for redemption, but his astonshment can
be better imagined than described when, few
days since, upon the arrival of the steamer Wander
bt, he received information that the bills were A
forgery upon the bank in question. Mr. Spever in
formed the police of the fraud, and the matter was
placed in the hands Of the Detectives who ascer-
tanned that some 900 or $4,000 of the spurious
money had been sold to brokers in Wall street and
the vicinity. Mr.. Speyer gave information which
led to the arrest of John keagie, Il Hungarian who
protessed to be engaged in a sort of brokerage and
forwarding business John SturZenegger, Swiss
was next taken into custody. The prisoners
stated that they had received the money from
Henry Robner, a German After some little
time Robner was arrested and stated that he had
received the bills from Gilbert Ncschmesser a fel-
w-countryman, OF whom he gave minute de-
scrlptlon. Alter inquiry, the officers concluded
that the story Fabrication. Robner insisted
on its truth, and said that Neschmesser had offered
one of the bills for sale at the Office of Mr.. Bern
helmer, broker in Greenwich street, who offered
sold the note to Mr.. Belmont at a much higher
price. Robner still further questioned, but his
answers were very unsatisfactory and eyasive.-
Both the other prisoners We're examined but would
know nothing more than is stated.
On Wednesday, Sturzenegger offered $3.50 worth
of the money for sale at Mr. Speyers establishments
when he was followed to his residence. Kesgie
offered quantity Of the bills at the office of Eschen
Grieve, brokers, No. 90 Wall street, but they re-
fused to purchase During the same dav 81, 700
worth Of the bills were offered tor sale in all street
and vicinity, but from notices received the previous
day, they declined purchasing. The bills are said,
by competent judges, to be well executed, and cal
culated to deceive those engaged in the business of
purchasing foreign money.

The objection rests mainly on the ground that the
expedition proposed assimilates to that of
November, 1857, when the steamer Fashion escaped
