VOIGT WON'T TALK.

The Arrest of the Former Banking Cashier
Causes Considerable Comment Among
southside People.
The arrest of Mr.. Henry F. Voigt, former
cashier of the now defunct Farmers and
Mechanics Bank of the Southside, charged
with having robbed that institution of about
10000, was all the talk among the people
last night.
Opinions are greatly divided as to the
probable guilt of the man. Most of them,
however, seem to think that Voigt was not
such bad fellow after all, and they think
that the Board of Directors should have
looked closer into the books before the loss be-
came so large.
One of the depositors said last night: IF
Voigt did take the money, he never used it
himself, but gave it to other people, who per-
suaded him to take it. He has always borne
good reputation; he was member OF the
Eighteenth Street Lutheran Church, and
very prominent one, too. l don't think that he
himself believed he would be arrested, because
he had all the opportunity in the world to run
away. He was in Ohio for several weeks lately
and. if he wanted to skip, he might have stayed
away then"
President Sorg declined to have any more TO
say on the subject, because he believes it to be
wiser to await the hearing on next Tuesday.
He stated, however, that they had sufficient
evidence to make a good case against the man.
When told that some of the depositors thought
the Board of Directors ought to be arrested,
too he said:
THAT is nonsense. Our expert states that
some of the falsificatlons were so cleverly per-
petrated that it would have necessited the con-
slant presence of the Board of Directors to
find out when and where they were made. The
mere fact that it has taken MI. Reed about
three months to detect them, shows that the
points were hard to find. / hear that some
people think am glad Voigt is arrested. Let
me tell you that is not so. In fact am really
sorry, especially for his family; but the thing
involves the savings of a number of poor peo-
pie, and it had to be done"
Noigt refused to make a statement when he
was seen in Jail yesterday. He said, however,
that he would not employ counsel, because he
had no money to pay lawyers bills and his
defense will be his own statement

back. Burns denied that he had ever
given any other member of the grand jury
money, and also denied that he had met any OF
the members by appointment at the Albemarle
Hotel He also stated that after the grand
jury had ignored the bill, Doyles brother
asked him for money, for couple Of dollars:
At District Attorney Porter's suggestion the
oath was administered to Doyle, and he told
Judge Collier the statements he had made we're
true. Judge Collier then held him in $1,000 to
answer charge of attempting to influence the
grand jury and sentenced him on the illegal
liquor selling charges to Is months in the work
house and to pay fines aggregating Sl,25O His
Honor also stated that he thought 1t the duty
of the District Attorney to make informations
against Doyle and He'll.
There were rumors afioat last night that the
informations against Hell and Doyle had been
made; but it is understood that they will be
brought to-day before Alderman McMasters.
Mr.. He'll was seen last evening and said that,
as far as he knew. no information had yet been
made against him. He still denies the guilty
receipt of any money from Burns.

Detective Pinkerton says Aldrich Bunkoed
Two Lawyers and Nurseryman Here
Ont of $4,000 Apiece.
Matt Pinkerton, the detective, who ar
rested Frank Aldrich in Windsor, Canada,
an account of which appeared in The DIS
PATCH. and who was recognized by Mr.. j.
K. Lemon, of Allegheny, as the man who
bunkoed him out of $4,000, had short
chat about Aldrich with Detroit reporter
few days ago.
Pinkerton stated that Aldrich is an old
timer, and one of the slickest "bunko" and
"gold brick" swindlers N the country. Mr..
Pinkerton also said that q veil known nursery
man of this city and two prom nent attorneys,
one Of them being the leading criminal lawyer
of this part of the State, listened to the siren,
and dropped $40 600 apiece. All these buukoed
men in Plttsburg have kept their losses quiet.
Yesterday when Mr.. John X. Lemon, OF Allie
gheny, was approached by DISPATCH report
or in regard to his case. he SAID:
1--WE are pretty sure of getting that fellow
Aldrich over here from Canada. Why the
prison officials at Windsor, Canada, said that
his conduct on seeing me was sufficient to con-
vict him. But we don't need that; can posi-
lively identify the man, not to speak OF half a
dozen Allegheny people who remember him
well on account of his peculiar conduct when
he swindled Inc last September.
"Will get any o. the money back? Well,
that will develop lator on. | know that the
man is worth from $4,000 to S6o, GOO. My only
desire, however, is to see him landed in the
penItentiary for good term, and we can prob
ably do this, as he swindled others, who will
also prosecute him."
