Examination Of Leonard Brown, tho
ALLEGED Counterfefter.

IL
Alleged Counterfefter.
New YORK, September "A short
examination took place in the case Of
Leonard Brown, supposed to be the
main instrument in an attempt to pass
counterfeit bonds. and he was re-
manded for further examination toe
morrow. Brown swore he was ignorant
OF the fraudulent character of the bonds
when he gave them to brokers to negoti-
ate. Holdrook stated that on Thursday
last Brown rendered the bond, stating
that he had $50, 900 worth, and had the
came for sale. Thi. bond was shown
Mr.. Hosford, of 32 Pine street, and ar
rangements made for negotiation; but
on Holbrook returning to his Office and
scrutinizing the bonds, he discovered
the forgery, and Immediately telegraph
ed all over Wall street notification OF
the same. Brown informed him a few
days previous that he had brown
stone building for sale, for $50, 900 cash,
but since then Holbrook discovered
that the house did not belong to Brown.
About month ago Brown tried to ne
gotiate note for $1,000 with him,
which on examination was found to be
spurious.
The Recent FOrEeries.
VIM. F. Miller, Secretary Of the Buf
fslo, New York and Erie Railroed, ar
rived to-day from Buffalo. and in con-
nection with his brother. the President
OF the road and Mr.. Gray, counsel, be-
gan the investigation regarding the for
geries on the compsny's bonds. Miller
SAYS there were twenty one hundred
tonds altogether, eleven hundred rep
reser ting one thousand dollars each,
FIVE hundred representing twelve hun
dred dollars each and FIVE hundred rep
resenting six hundred dollars each. lie
thinks the forgery is on the one thou
sand dollar bonds. A theory was ad-
vauced on the street to-day that the
bonds in circulation were an overpriut
that il, several hundred were struck off
over the twenty Ouc tuOucauu oStuoiiC
required, and that they were stolen
from the compsny's office. Miller says
he had a roll OF them in the safe and
thinks that he saw them week or two
ago, but has not examined the roll re-
Gently.
In regard to the New York Central
bonds the forged signature OF Wilson,
the Treasurer, is so nearly fac slmile
ofthe genuine that, it is said, it is doubt
iu' 1.-THE company knows one from the
other.
The funds of Kendrick & Co., the al
legged swindlers of Sanders & Harden
berg, by means of forged bonds, have
been attached. Itappears that Sanders
Il Hardenberg's check to the order OF j.
F. Franklin for $4,000 in payment OF
forged bonds, was collected by the
Union Trust Company OF the Fourth
National Bank, and put to the credit OF
Kendrlck & Co., which firm, on Satur-
dav, drew checks on the Trust Company
for eleven and eight thousand dollars.
but the man attempting to collect 1t was
informed OF the irregulsrity existing, and
that the checkscould not then be paid,
since which time no one has sought TO
collect it.
