Surprised While COunterfeitinE Bonds
 Articles Found by the Detectives. NEW YORK, Nov. 11.-WiIliam O. Brock
 way, the notorious bond forger, and two of
 his accomplices, Lewis Martin and Nathaniel B. Foster, were arrested yesterday by Cen tral office detectives on charge of forgery. For the past two months Brockway has been noticed by detectives acting in very suspi-
 cious manner. A few weeks ago Broadway engaged apartments at No. 23I Lexington avenue. At the same time he hired apart
 ments at No. 27O West Eleventh street. The detectives who had been assigned to keep 8
 close watch upon his movements learned
 that he was daily in the habit of visiting bankers, printers, and Photographic houses.
 On Saturday the detectives became satisfied
 that the time had arrived for decisive action,
 and Inspector Byrnes directed raid to be
 made upon the apartments occupied by
 Brockton at 231 Lexington avenue and No. 27O Vest Eleventh street. On entering the
 rooms occupied by Brockway, the detectives
 found complete set of machinery of the finest description necessary for the forging of certain bonds, and also quantity of type, dies, plates and everything necessary for the duplication of these bonds. A roll of bonds which had recently been struck of was also found These bonds were perfect counter Essex Railroad company of the denomination of one thousand dollar seven per cent. construction mortgage bonds of 1901. Plates, printed notes and various materiaI for the issuing of $1 1000 gold bearing bonds of the Central Pacific Railroad company, series B, were also found. The stamp neces- sary for the payment of interest on the bonds in London was also signed with the type in the form notifying holders that the interest would be paid at the banking house of Spey- CT & Brothers, London, at the rate of 49 pence sterling per dollar. There was also found the type set up for an endorsement for the bank of the bonds as follows: Central Pacific Railroad company, California and Oregon division, 6 per cent 20 year gold bonds of $1,OOe." There was also in type the following: ''We do hereby certify that this bond is one of the within described 7-2O bonds of like date secured by mortgages exe- cuted and delivered to us. David T. Dodge, one of the trustees within named, having died, Phillip c. Calhoun has been duly noni- mated and appointed trustee in his place in accordance with the provisions of said mort gage" The bonds are magnifcently execut- ed a microscopic examination failing to re- veal the slightest flaw, the delicate face lines and shading of the heads upon the bonds being perfection itself and must have cost considerable time and money. A raid was also made by detectives upon room 86 at the To-, Hnfo SDh yvoG md O atar of bonds of the Morris and Essex per cent. mortgage coupon bonds ready to be put upon the market, wanting only the names of Sam uel Sloan, president and Charles E. Carryl, treasurer. A genuine per cent. $1, 900 bond of the Morris and Essex, No 4, ,081, also $1 1000 per cent. gold bearing bond of the Central Pacific, series B, No. 362, $16O in money and a number of letters, stamps and drawings of different series of bonds were found on Brockways person when he was arrested. After the raid had been made in West Houston street Foster and Martin were arrested on Lexington ave- nue. On Martin were found five $IOO bills, some letters and papers showing him to have moved in the best of society. His suite at the St. James was an elegant one and he was regarded as leading man in sporting circles. Chief Drummond of the secret service, who assisted in making the arrests, learned that Martin furnished the money for printing the
 
 that any of the bonds have yet been disposed of.
 Broadway was born in Connecticut and is about sixty years old. He studied chemistry in Yale college under Prof. Silliman. Later in life he learned the trade of printer and electrotyper. In 1853 he got five years for taking an impression of genuine plate of the State Bank of Connecti- cut, but he escaped after serving two years. After remaining quiet for several years he got out 7-30 $1 1000 United States bond, Jay Cooke $ Go. s banking house being vic- timizsd to the extent of $S, ,OOO of the spur- ious bonds. In 1873 Broadway got up $500 treasury note of the series of 1869 in con- nection with Hank Hall, Lewis Martin, Charles H. Smith and Thomas Bullard. From this time up to his arrest he seems to have been engaged in counterfeiting bonds and notes of every denomination and about two years sentence was suspended upon him on account of his surrendering some forged plates Both Martin and Foster have also been engaged for some years in counterfeit ing. All the prisoners are now locked up at police headquarters and will be taken to the Tombs in the morning.
