in Brooklyn. The murderer has never
been discovered up to the present hour.
Tho detectives arrested man
named Caromanti, but as there was no
c :idence to convict him he was dis
charged. 1t was wcll.known that Tor.
rino was engaged in passing counterfeit
bonds and currency ,and that the "queer''
he operated in was perfect in execution
and finish. The most accomplished ex.
perts have hitherto failed to discover
where ard by whom these extraordinary
forgeries were executed, and the facts

membercd, Detective Schraidt was 81 ting
in liquor saloon on the corner Of Bowcry
and Hester street, where the barber PAX.
ulski and q boy named Henry Myers
entered. The boy carried satchel, and
the man unsuspectirg'y treated the de.
tective to several drinks. BY and by he
grew confidential. ''Do you want to make
some money!" he asked Schraidt.
''fhat's the very thing I want to
do,' was the prompt reioindcr. "In that
satchel there is $4,000 worth Of United
States revenue stamps" said Pakulski,
WHICH Will Sell you 1or
FORTY CENTS ON THE DOLLAR,
and / can get thousands Of dollars WORTH
more." The detective accepted the
offer, and soon after offered a check on
the Bowery Savings Bank in payment.
The barber wanted cash, and the detec.
tive went on a pretended errand to obtain
the greenbacks. Meantime the 'queer'
vender had grown suspicious, and had in.
structed the 10y to throw the satchel
into the ash barrel in the rear. Schraidt
meanwhile had secured the assistance Of
Detective Sullivan Of the Eldridge Street
Station, and the two officers arrested the
counterfeit vender, and captured his
satcbe( and its forged contents. His re-.
lease from the Tombs has probably pre-
vented the revelation Of the secret Of the
rorrine murder, as well as enabled dan.
gerous man to 60 at large.
