ANDY ROBERTS.
He is in Limbo Again.

The New York papers say that two detec-
tlves brought Andy Roberts, a native of AL
fred, in this State, to the Toombs Court Tues
day afternoon They had arrested him in the
superior Court, where he was contesting in a
suit for the recovery of securities he had
placed in the custody of the Union Trust Com
pany. Justice Morgan refused to go into the
case OF Roberts arrest, as there was no COM
plalnant in court. Detectives Williamson and
Adams produced forged check on the Queens
county Bank Of Flushing for $500 Roberts
was remanded back to Headquarters. Last
summer he kept hotel at Rockaway. He has
long been known to the police as a skilled
forger. 1t is now understood thas Roberts
pal" William Harris alias CDR" Harris,
has ''squealed" to the police.
1t appears that fourteen years ago Roberts,
Charles Morris and Mark Shininborn opened a
baggage car upon the New Haven road,
stripped the car and threw out safe contain
ing $1400 securities belonging to Adams Ex-
press Company. The company afterward me-
gotiated with the thieves and recovered all
their property. Seven years ago Roberts and
Gleason obtained possession of quantity of
New York Central Railroad bonds, and both
men were kept in Ludlow street Jail for six
years. After Roberts release he opened a
place at Rockaway. He has been suing in the
Supreme Court for the recovery of $4,000
worth OF securities he placed in the safe of the
Union Trust Company.
After his arrest "Dr." Harris gave the So
cret to the police, and Tuesday, while in court
Roberts was arrested. As there was no COM
plainant in court the prisoner was remanded.
For some time suburban banks have been de-
frauded to considerable extent by system
OF check forgeries. The latest case was that
OF the National Queens County Bank in Flush
ing. On March 25th a man named John
Cleary had a check for $500, drawn on the firm
of Hume & Hirsch, cashed at that bank. The
following day William Harris presented a
check for much larger amount, and was ar.
rested. A few days later Cleary was arrested
and put under $1,000 bail in Flushing on the
charge of forgery. Harris, who was in league
with him, then confessed that Andrew Roberts
was the forger, and that William Bartlett,
another notorious criminal, was also interested
in the matter.
Wednesday Roberts was taken before JUS
tice Morgan. He claimed to be merchant of
New York, declined to give his address, and
refused to enter plea. but asked to have the
examination adjourned until his counsel could
be present. The adjournment was granted.

Industries of Bangor.

Industries Of Bangor.
The Legislature at its last session granted an
act or incorporation for manufacturing COM
pany at Bangor, and its citizens are looking
forward with hope and pleasure to the estab-
lishment of cotton or wooden mills, with pro-
posed capital of SIS 600. 900, as the beginning of
new era in the business and prospe rity of the
place.
There are now at least 300 manufacturing
and industrial establishments in the city, large
and small. These establishments have capt.
tai of $1.500,000, employing in the aggregate
1000 persons, who are paid $500, 900 per year.
The material used in manufacturing, as near
as can be estimated, amounts to 81 SOC, 900 and
the product So, zoe, 600. Steam power is used
in the larger establishments, and the water
works furnish most convenient and effective
water power in others.
The facilities for water power both;by the
Penobscot and Kenduskeag rivers, could be
utilized to great extent. A CITIZEN.
