NEW YORK, August 3l.-Norton, who
swndled several firms here and in Lancas-
ter, Penn, by raised certificates of stock
of the Philadelphia and Reading railroad,
has been arrested. Sometime since the
police received information that number
of shrewd operators had been working on
forged railroad stock 10 an alarming ex-
tent; and that they were in league with we'll
known engravers of certificates. or this all
brokers were warned, but this afternoon
showed that the warning was not needed.
| A rumor was sprung by Alcott & Co., of
Broad street, who had purchased thou
| sand dollar bond, an issue of the New York
Central railroad from man calling himself
Leonard Brown, carrying on business at
No. 113 Broadway. To-day Brown called
on Alcott q Co. and wanted a loan on
sixteen similar bonds. 1t was found that
the genuine one first purchased was similar
to one OF the bonds of the sixteen on which
loan was desired. An examination was in
stituted and discovery made that the sixteen
bonds were forgeries. The detectives then
ascertained that Wooden Sherman, of No.
8 Nassau street. was endeavoring to nego-
tiate the loan of $25, 900 on $50, 900 worth

lLATER.l
New York, September The prin-
cipal operator in the New York Central
bond forgeries is one Charles j. William
son, who is believed to be identical with
the notorious Ross K Wright. He appears
to have been dealing through various bro
kers to a very great extent, principally in
/ New York Central 6s Of | 8S7; New York
Central G's of 1883; and Buffalo. New
York and Erie first mortgage bonds. Will
hanson is an outside man, and whether all
these bonds first mentioned are forgelies
or not, or merely covers by which he was
enabled to issue forged bonds, it is impos'
sible to tell. Inc detectives thihk u ausi-
