Tracing the Securities Stolen from
Murdered Vienna Banker.

Tracing the Securities Stolen from a
Murdered Vienna Banker.
That some of the bonds stolen from II .
NJ. Eisert, who was killed in Vienna some
time ago, says Saturdays New York
Times, were offered for sale in this city is
believed by persons prominent in the An
archist movements in this country, and
by others who have looked into the matter.
A cable dispatch states that the Vienna
police have evidence that some of the
money or securities stolen from Herr
Eisert was sent by Anarchists to Herr
Most in this country.
Johann Most was found last evening in
Reingarts Hall, in Elizabeth. n. where
SOcialistic mass meeting had been
called. He told the reporter that he had
already been shown the dispatch, and de-
clared that it was utterly false. The story,
he said, had been cOncOcted by Austrian
spies. He added ''Neither 1 nor any
other Socialist in this country know anV-
thing about the money or Eisert's murder
and do not believe that the Socialists in
Germany know anything about it either.
L regard this story as purely newspaper
sensation. There is a newspaper man in
this city who claims to have studied the
Anarchists, and is said to be an authority
upon SOclal1Stlc and revolutionary sub
Jects. He declares that he can see the
bonds that were stolen from Herr
Eisert in this city at any time. and
has promised to do so. He states
that a number of these bonds were
negotiated at the banking house of
Hagen ~ Billings, in this city This
statement is denied by Hagen e. Billings,
who say they know nothing whatever of
tho hOndG Tho
have been negotiated about two weeks
ago. About that time a boy entered the
banking office of Charles BiSchOff d Son.in
the Stats ZeituRg building, and handed
to bOOkkeeper Straka a Kronprinz Ru-
dOlph Railway bond, which is an Austrian
coupon bond. The suspicious of the firm
were aroused on looking at 1t, for the cou-
pons did not bear the same number as the
bond itself. The boy said the bond had
been sent to him by friend in Chicago.
Mr.. BlschOt told the boy to write back to
Chicago and ascertain more about the
document. Some time afterward the boy
reappeared with letter, which was not
satisfactory, and the bond was not pur-
chased Mr.. BischOff thinks that this
was one of the stolen bonds.
The murder of Eisert and his sons was
accomplished in the bankers own house.
1t was committed by two men. When
they entered the room Herr Eisert was
busily engaged and his two little BOYS
were studying near by. The taller man
of the two asked to have some money
changed, and when Herr Eisert turned
around he struck him on the head with
an instrument of some kind. Eisert
started for another room and the two men
followed. They struck down the govern
ess of the two boys, who got in the way,
and Knocked the boys senseless with a
hatchet. They then assailed the pros
trate man with hatchets and knives.
Leaving him unconscious they went
back to the shop and stole
bank notes and gold. Herr Eisert
recovered sufficiently to give good de-
scriptiOn OF the men. One boy died i'm
mediately and the other died soon after
Eiserts description of the tall man tailed
with the appearance of man by the name
of Kammerer, a well known Anarchist.
