THoY, N. Y, March 13.-It is discov-
cred that Emmett O'Neill. the Scheneo-
taday broker, recently failed and fed.
He victimized parties in Schenectady
AID DuanesburQh to the tune Of not less
than $25O, 900. He having the handling
OF his fathers estate, was presumably
wealthy, and was elected a director Of
the Schenectady bank. From the books
of tho bank it is learned many farmers
of Duauesbureh gave him funds to in
vest. He obtained money by plausible
representations, and gave as security
forged mortgages. When further proof
was asked he even forged assessments to
mortgages, including the County Clerk q
certificate and copy Of records. The
widows, orphans and industrious poor
were alike his victims, together with
wealthy losers. Every person in
Duanesburgh was considered. His
mother and sisters are left penniless.
Before leaving on the midnight train
O'Neil took a 800 greenback in his
hand and went about asking change.
No one could change it and 90 he Dor
royed a few dollars: from each store
keeper. O'Neil went to New York where
il is said he made AN unsuccessful at
tempt to raise $4,000 ON forged securi-
ties. It is believed he has gone TO Eu-
rope. His wife, two daughters and q son
are still in Schenectady.
