fession made in San Francisco, by Johr
T. Irving, concerning the Nathan mur'
der, is still the subject OF much COM
ment in public circles, and it is now
conceded that Irving knows more Of the
murder than the police at first were
willing to acknowledge. The fact oI
the existance OF memorandum book
kept by Nathan, was unknown to the
police, and had been forgotten by biz
family, and Irving's statement regard.
it's contents are corroborated by several
friends of the Nathan family. The
police are actively searching the city
for Irving's wife, but as yet without
success. Whether steps will be taken
to bring the alleged murderer here, il
not known.

cent Stock FOrgeries.
Henry Clews, the we'll known bank
er, believes that the statements pub
lished in relation to the recent forger-
| les are greatly exaggerated as the
amount OF fraudulent bonds placed or
the market. He Gays forgeries are
necessarily limited in their operations
TO obscure and small brokers, and as
those are unable of themselves to ne
gotiase to any great extent, they must
apply to larger houses, where any fraud
| is Immediately detected and exposed,
and further negotiations stopped. Un-
der the circumstances, Mr.. CleWs doe.
not think that fraudulent bonds, even
approximating the amount stated, have
been disposed OF by cunning forgers OF
their allies.
