History OF the AHi,ir--Tntcresting
Developments.
We yesterday gave brief resume of some
Of the featurcs Of s1ss interesting case. but n
that instance the History was not fully dcvcl.
oped, aud the story was hut partially told. On
the 10th Of August, Il. r. Forsyth, Of this
city, Of the firm of Grosyenor & Forsyth,
commission merchants, on the corner Of
Clark and South Water streets, made formal
complaint before Justice Stanford, setting
forth that George Horton and Edward G. Ban-
croft, Of Wluona, Minnesota, doing business
ubder the firm name Of Horton d. Bancroft,
had issued at Wiuons, and transmitted to him
ard his partner upwards Of fifteen false and
fraudulent watehouse receipts for dour, false
" pretending that they had such flour, cx.
ceeding ,4G3 barrels in store at Winona, said
receipts being r1ade payable to the order Of
G,osrencr g. Forsyth; and that By means Of
these fraudulent receipts, Horton i Bancroft
obtained from Grosveucr s. Forsyth large
sum Of money, Of which o7er 5000 remained
unpaid at the date OF the complaint, Mr. For
sytl, on o.th, etated that he had often de.
Lad In rarf an fhoea af1%e 1ry,+
Horton s Bancroft, while admitting that they
bad never the property in store, were uuaale
or unwilling to pay them. Upon this COM
plant Mr. Forsyth demanded roluisition
from Governor Yates upon the Governor of
Minnesota. After soEc delay the zcquislttoa
Was g1anted, and reached the Attornies OF
the complainant on Monday.
Meantime, Mr.. Grosycnor lad visited
Niroua, and on the p7ctc1t Of settling the
matter amicably, had prevailed upon Horton
ard BapcEcft to accompany him to tllls city.
they arrived In Chicago early Saturday morn
ing, and went to the fremont House, aud
we're in the act Of registering their names
Ehen Constable Chilicote arrested them on
the original warrant Issued by Justice STAN
ford. The forenoon Was yainly spent in try
ing to cone at some arrangement Of their
difficulties. Before noon, Grosycnor s. For
syth had commenced civil action in the Cir
emit Court, and obtained an order to hold de-
fendants to bail In tho sum Of sc, 900. Before
This order vas served, however, Quimby &
Co., had somehow learned that they we're In
town, and armed with capias granted by the
Circuit Court, IN cIyiI action in5tituted By
Q. & Co., Deputy Sheriff Nelson took Ban
croft out Of the hands ot Chilicote, c. G.
Bon:ey, the attorney Of Gro5renor Il For
:yth, then placed his capids, obtained in the
civil euit, in the 1nnds Of the Sheriff, and
Rarcroft was dcub'y held prisoner By virtue
Of the two Instruments Horton still re.
maIned in the custody Of Cbilicote.
On Monday morning, Bancroft was held to
bail in both civil cases, to the amount sworn
tc, by Justice D'Wolf, as stated BY the TR1B-
uSE of yesterday. After giving bail upon the
last criminal case, the Sheriff notified Chilli
cote to tako Bancroft into custody again,
which was done. and he was taken before
Justice Stanford, upon the original warrant
sworn ont by 3I1. Forsyth, and waiving an
examination, vas held to bail In one thousand
dollars to answer any indictment which might
ba found against him by the Grand Jury in
the Recorders Court. This was given, and
the accused was once more at liberty.
The question raised during tho time Mr..
Bancroft was the victim Of arrest aud
re-ar7est, Us 10 the whereabouts Of his
partner, 3Ir. Horton, WIS answered By
the attorney OF The prosecutor, who stated
| that he was Convinced TINT Mr. Horton had
| no criminal knowledge Of the alleged fraudu-
| lent tranAactions-at least that his connection
| with them Was purely innocent and inyolun-
tary, md that If he should adjust matters
with the prosecuting witnesses, he was dis
posed to dismiss the prosecution as against
| him.
This is the present I" situation'' Of the mt
ter. We learn that these two eases are the
only ones In which the defendants are impli-
Gated.
