More Disclosure. TINT Have Come out Of the
SOL, 900 Check Forgery.

Tho counsel OF Hacring, Becker. and
Elliott, who are accused Of forging the sGi 900
check of the New York Life Insurance Com
pany. moved for their discharge yesterday
saying that the District Attorney had failed TO
connect them with the forgery. MIR. Algernon
S. Sullivan said that Mr.. Maxwell and Mr..
Browne. two Of the brokers through whom tho
check WIS negotiated. contradi,tcd each other
in tcstiying against tho prisoners. and that
Browne showed that he desired to clear himself
10y duplicating others. Justice kilbrcth decided
that there was sufficient evidence to warrant his
holding the alleged forgcrs to await the action
Of the Grand Jury. He fixed the bail Of each at
$4,000. Counsel thought that this was excess
sivc and asked for reduction. Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Bell said that rather than consent
10 a less amount Of bail he would move TO re-.
open tho case to enable him TO Introduce still
more conclusive evidence against the forgers'
gang which the public officers had withheld for
good reasons. l.. A. Browne. one of the brokers
who handled the check. had u sent beside the
Assistant District Attorney, and closely scruti-
nlcd Becker and Elliott. The wife of Becker
who is the daughter Of Ilacring. was in the
court room with younger sister. The pris-
