stalioI, anu OH JANUARY y, 1911, the
following paragraph appeared in the
Sun:
us THIS TIE NATHAN MURDERER =
Connected with the Franklin street
station are two prisons. One is in the
rear OF the office, the other in the base
ment. We are informed that i'll one Of
the cells in the rear prison man has
been kept in close confinement more
than tour months. Two policemen
were specially detailed to watch the
prisoner, and no one is allowed to speak
with or ever see him. This man was
placed there by order Of Superintendent
Jourdan short time before his death,
and the prison in which he is confined
is used for no othel purpose
On the morning Of the publication
Of the foregoing, Superintendent kelso
visited the reporters Of the different pa
pers at Police Headquarters, and told
them that there was no use in longer
Disgusting the truth: that FORESTER
was the man suspected Of the Nathan
murder He said that he had endeav-
ored to keep it all quiet; that the article
published in the Sun had told the whole
story. 1t was then that he sent out the
circular offering $1,000 reward for the
arrest of Forester,
When the article appeared in the Sun
Forester and his wife were at the st.
Bernard Hotel. He knew that George
Ellis was the onl Y man who could give
any information to the authorities about
the intended burglary of Mr.. Nathans
house. Believing that Ellis was the
man confined in the Franklin street pc
/ lice station, Forester became alarmed.
He had no money. TO raise sufficient
/ to take him out Of the country.he would
be compelled to do one OF two things
he must either sell Mr. Nathans dia-
mond studs and bonds, or disclose to
his contcderates his participation in the
murder He chose the latter course,
and a subscription was raised at Theo-
dore Aliens. Cockncy Jack, now in
Sing Sing for picking pockets, being
! first TO start 1t.
FORRESTER'S Flight.
Seven hundred dollars was made up
in short time, and Forester and his
wife stealthily left the city Whcnthey
had gone, it leaked out that Pinkcrton :
! detectives had n requisition from the
Governor of Illinois for Forester, re-
claiming him on the part OF the State,
to serve his uneXpired term i'll the State
prison Then Pinkerton'S men began
searching the country for Forester, but.
as usual, without success.
Mr.. and Mrs. Forester travelled west
to St Louis. There they separated.
Forester went to New Mexico and
drove stage across the Plains, while his
wife and child went to New Orleans,
and thence to Mobile. For a time
Forester regularly sent his wife money,
then the remittances ceased. Mrs. For
rosters child died in Mobile, and she
entered disreputable house. Forrest
er, probably anticipating something OF
this kind, went to .Hobilc last winter,
verified his fears, and then became very
reckless He told who he was, but said
he would come to New York and stand
his trial for the Nathan murder, pro
Weed the police would not send him
back to Joliet prison. 1t is believed
/ that some arrangement of this kind was
I effected, or Forester never would have
ventured as far north as Washington.
However, he was arrested in Washing
ton last Saturday.
On the arrival of the train last night,
Captain James Irving. with number
of detectives, received their distinguish
ed prisoner at the Cortlandt street ferry.
Placing him in close carriage, they
drove rapidly to the Central Office,
where Forester was placed in a secure
cell No one WAS allowed to see him.
This morning Superintendent kclso
will examine him and endeayor to find
out what he will tell about his complete
" with the Nathan murder. Evidence
is not wanting to prove that the iron
dog. with which the murder was com
mitted was stolen from Mr.. Schenck 5
house, 30 Fifth avenue, by FORESTER,
Eagan and Ellis The two latter were
in Sing Sing when Mr.. Nathan was
murdered, and Forester had the dog in
his possession. This fact, together
with the finding of one OF Forester 5
shirts covered with blood, and many
other facts which had never been made
prl1ip u.ill r,oln lnf ono bt tho StroOr-
est cases OF circumstantial evidence.
ForreSters baggage is on the way
here to the care of Mr.. Barney Aaron.
