New York. May 22.-Dozens of Ger
mans in Newark are worrying over money
they parted with to a man who visited
them more than a year ago and offered to
sell European bonds on the installment
plan. The man represented himself as
an agent of the banking firm of Schneider,
Pollatchek 4 Son. and said the firm had
a large assortment OF European bonds, all
of which drew s per cent interest. The
holders also had ten chances a year to
draw lottery prizes, amounting to $500,
900 and less. Many invested money.
They received as a receipt an engraved
paper that to all appearances was a for
eign government bond. This receipt
contained a clause that if the holder
tailed to pay his IS installment before the
18th of the month all the money that had
been paid in would be forfeited. 1t is es-
timated that By means of this clause $40,
900 had been collected from the 500 or
more subscribers before any suspicious
were excited.

Knew Him When His Mask was on.

800 ~
FINDLAY, O., May 22.-The second
day of the trial of John Morgan. in
dicted for completely in the Oman robbery,
revealed some interesting facts. The
three Oman brothers and a young man
living with them were placed on the stand
and told substantially the same story OF
the robbery, even to the care exercised
by the robbers in trying to prevent the
discovery Ut their identity. They asid
the leadvrtUrd red those inside to go out
and their places to be taken by those out
side, at frequent intervals, all the robbers
going by numbers. While the leader
was holding a lamp and searching a
bureau drawer for : 5000 thought to be
hidden therein, his mask fe Il off for a mo-
ment disclosing his face. The four men,
all of whom had been bound, swore posi-
lively that at this time they recognized
the leader as Morgan, the defendant, who
liued only three miles away. and whom
they had known for years. This positive
Identification was the striking feature OF
the day. The prosecution rested at noon,
and in the afternoon the defense attempt
ed to prove an abb by introducing wit
nesses who swore as to the defendants
whereabouts on the night OF the robbery.
The testimony will be concluded tomor-
row. 1t is the general opinion that the
state has made out a strong cesc that will
not be broken down.

The Presbyterian Assembly.

SARATOGA. N. Y, May 22.-Dr. Pat
ton of Princeton, chairman OF the cantee
for contrasting answers from presbyteries
on revision, read the report. There were
1873 that desired revision and 6S that did
not. Others declined to answer. Many
destined it but stipulated that the C%alvinls-
ter character of the standard should be
altered, Considera BILE discussion arose as
to the classification of presbyteries. Al
bany refused answer as to revision, but
desired the new creed to be used side by
side with the old.
DR.. McCracken made the affirmative
l35 and 81 negative, including Albany
and Sacramento in the affirmative in
stead Of the negative. On this very i'm
portant point of classification these two
should decide whether they have or have
not decided on revision.
Judge Thornton of San Francisco, of
the cauvassing cantee, defended the re
port.

CLINTON, ILL.,, May 22.-The farmers
of this county have been cheated by an
odd swindling scheme, quite equal to the
hay fork and roof paint steal OF years
ago. Well dressed and voluble agents
go through the townships and sell terri.
tory for a patent wire fence and a ma
chine for making the same. The farmer
is guaranteed big profits, but the guaran-
tee and the agent vanish into thin air,
and the note, discounted at the bank, has
to be paid. Two farmers near here were
bitten to the extent OF $l3O each.

CONFEssEs TO A BOLD CRIME.
The Man Who Robbed a Denver Bank
of eel 900 Supposed to Be Under
Arrest.

DENVER, May 22.-March %, 1889. a
young man walked into the private office
of President Moffat, at the First Ma
tional bank, and covered him with a huge
revolver displayed a bottle, presumably
containing a deadly explosive and de-
maaded $2l 900. In case of refusal he
threatened Mr.. Moffat with instant death
and to blow the bank to smithereens.
Mr.. Moffat was obliged to leave
his Office and walk out among his
clerks to get the bills, the stranger
following and holding the revolver
almost against the. presidents back. but
concealed by an oyercoat carried over his
arm. The stranger was handed the money
and disappeared. An alarm was raised
and an arrest or two made, but no trace Of
the culprit discovered. So peculiar was
the affair that many believed it to have
been rather a successful blackmailing
scheme than a veritable robbery. Detee-
tives have beer busy ever since, working
fered. Today Chief of Police Farley re-
Louis, that a prisoner there had confessed
to the Moffat robbery and offered
corroborative evidence OF his guilt.
The prisoner answers the description of
G. j. Wells, the name given by Mofat's
caller. He has been arrested in Missouri
for stealing a valuable team of herses. He
claims that a large part of the Moffat
money is hidden and that a pal knows
about it. He objects to going to the penn
Tertiary and leaving the spoils to his pal.
His idea seems to be to get the Colorado
authorities to claim him for the greater
crime committed in this state and then
bride the bank into leniency by disclosing
the hiding place of his booty. Cashier
Otis lett for Missouri tonight to complete
the identification of the prufessed robber.
The police believe that the Moffat mys-
terry has been solved.
