Peck stated that he was going.
Here was a long-sought clew, and the
officer lost no time in VISITING Buffalo,
to learn further of Mr.. Peck's present

him here. The freight books showed
that the horses had been received two
or three months previously, and taken
away, but nothing further was known
concerning them or Mr.. Peck.
Nothing daunted, however, the in

the whole then shipped to Chicago.

cred that they had been swindled out
of seventy-fve thousand dollars by
means of a forged check for that
amount, purporting to have been drawn
by Commodore Vanderbilt. Nearly a
month passed before the fraud was dis
covered, and in the meantime several
other checks for large amounts, drawn
by the same party, had been honored;
so it was almost impossible for any of
the bank officials to remember with
satisfactory distinctnesS any of the
circumstances connected with the pay
ment of the fraudulent document
However, it was placed in the hands of
u ShreWG detective, and lie went to
work to find clew, and trace out the
mystery.
The officers first suspicion was that
some of the clerks of the bank had
been in collision with the forger, and
doubtless shared the profits of his
crime. After two weeks scrutiny of
the character, habits and associations
of the various clerks that theory was
abandoned. and it only remained for
him to gather from them, if possible,
some clcw. however slight, of the bold
operator. His first inquiry was if any
one, not in the habit of presenting
checks. had been seen doing so within
the past month. Only two of the clerks
had any memory on the subject, and
theirs was of the most shadowy and I'M
satisfactory character. One remem-
bcred seeing stout, elderly man drive

zine carriage up to the bank, enter the
office and transact some business, he
knew not what, and depart, since
which he had not seen him.
The other clerk, after thorough ex-
animation, and d multitude of questions
put to assist or quicken his memory, at
last concluded that he did recollect

one day about the time the forged
check was presented, and had draft
Cashed for Il large amount. a pc
ruliarity in the mans necktic attracted
his attention. and he looked him full in
the face and retained u vivid recollec-
tiUn of every feature. He was an
amateur artist. and especially expert in
pcn-drawing. Taking Il sheet of paper
and an old pen which was lying upon
the desk he quickly produced a por-
trait, which he declared to be good
likeness of the man he suspected.
The officer did not look upon these
clews, ii such they might be called, as
promising much hope of success. He
first exhibited the drawing to the clerk
who had seen the suspected rogue drive
mp with the fine black horse, and he
confidently identified it.
Here at last was some encourage
4nent. The first attempt was to trace
the horse and carriage, and discover
who owned or who had hired such
rig. The effort was unsuccessful; the
officer, however, was convinced that
the man. whoever he might be, was
an admirer of fast and stylish horses,
and he therefore commenced search
among the establishments devoted to
the stabling and sale of such animals,
hoping that he would find some one
who could identify the parties.

aishnents, exhibiting the portrait, he
