with arson in New Orleans in 1859, but

Last year he induced young man named
Ncltman. bookkeepcr in Brooklyn

checks. which he filed out, forging the
firm name. In this way the two from
time 20 time drew nearly $4,000 with
out discovery, by skillfully Increasing
the bank account with forged checks to
balance the amounts drawn. Plans were
laid for a $4,000 haul, with which the
two were to dccamp. The forgeries
were this time detected, and both men
were arrested. veltman turned States
evidence against Leith, who has already
served nine months in prison for coun-
terfciting labels. Among his other ex-
ploits Leith was found, in 1875, with
$4,000 worth Of the bonds stolen bv
