The Winslow Forgeries.
Boston, January 25-It is believed that
have been affected by the transactions of
Hon. E. D. Winslow. 1t is thought bis
forgeries will reach 100000. WiRslow,
with his family, decamped last Thursday.
WinslOw, the fOrger, probably left some
DAYS ago on some steamer. The journal
estimates the amount OF paper discounted
for him at over $780, 600, but whether these
figures are correct or not is undetermined.
He was educated for the ministry of the
Methodist Church. served as chaplain
in two regiments during the war, was also
chaplain in the navy. and has since
Officiated in several churches. He was
formerly publisher of lions Herald and
was q member of the Legislature in 1872
74-75. 1t is stated that before his disap
pearance he made several efforts to nego-
tate paper, but the Endorsements were
detected as forgeries and he was threatened
with exposure.
The Post states that the interes: Of the
company owning that paper is in no way
affected by the irregularities of its late
treasurer, E. D. Wins!Ow. Its stock is in
the hands of strong and responsible hold
ers Liabilities have not been increased.
Its stability is assured. His association
with the Post was more formal than init
mate, and was limited strictly to an official
financial responsibility, and his absence will
cause neither less nor change beyond his
own removal.
The Herald states among the principal
persons whose names are on WinslOw's
paper, forged or otherwise are w. Z. Shell
don fer $l04 ,O00 Leopold Morse for $50 1000,
B. F. Hayes for $45, 600, and that the stocks
and notes forged and genuine issued by
WiDslow and held as security will reach
100000. The Herald says Winslow's posi-
ton as treasurer of the Post Company gave
him an opportunity to issue forged stock of
that paper, and the amount so issued by
him for use as collateral will reach very
large sum. but this may prove incorrect,
as the statement of the Post indicates.
The Herald quotes one case where a
block Of 300 shares Is held which, it Gays,
is undoubtedly worthless. 1t also names
the Blackstone National and the Shoe and
Leather National Banks as among those
holding worthless collateral.
