NO REASON At ALI FOE SUICIDE.
STRONG uRouMsrANr1AL EVIDENCE TIL

STRONG c1RCUMsTANTIAL EVIDENCE THAT
GEORGE WILL WAS MURDERED.
Careful inquiry has been made among all who knew
George VIII. the boy who was found dead at Long
Branch under mysterious circumstances on August 10
as related in Mondays Tribune but tile result IS tt
the theory of suicide which advanced so posi-
lively by the Long Branch authorities, seems more ana
more unreasonable while the testimony Of the Long
Branch people who said they saw money in WINS
poSsesson is supported by all who knew the boy. NO
reason whatever can be found which could have inn.
pelIed the boy to commit suicide. lie was always
eyentempered and cheerful his habits simple ana
economical and he had place which suited him, win
John MundOrff, baker Of No. $50 Third-ave. The
foreman there saw him Oh Saturday, August 10, the
day before he was found dead and he then happy
and untroubled. He received 81 which was due him
before he went away.
All the men employed ab the bakery agree in saving
that the boy always carried roll of bills with him.
This is oorroborated by Mrs. Meyer. Of No. 15s East
Eighty sevcnth-st where he boarded also by his
friend, Joseph Esenbrand. Of No 237 East Forty
fth-st. and by WHIPS three sisters and the brother
The brother him August IL, and VIII then had
a roll of money. His habit was to carry il loosely In
his trousers pocket which is just the way the Long
Branch witnesses said that the boy whom thev saw
carried IT, That he had saved money is positively de-
cared by all his relatives and friends. Yet none was
found in his room. nor did he deposit any ir bank
1t was his habit to carry it constantly around with him.
If he was not robbed it is hard to tell what became OF
IT, He also had 900 marks due him from the estate
Of his parents in Germany.
Another proof that he did not intend to commit
suicide is that he wrote to his brother. John WILL Of
No 352 Camden-st.. Newark y. j. on August 1o or
16 in which he asked him to visit him the following
Wednesday This letter received bv John VIII on
August H. the day after the boy was found dead at
Long Branch.
Another circumstance which adds strength to the
testimony of the people at the bath-house at Long
Branch is that they described the boy when speaking OF
him az" the German boy" because they said he spoke
English with strong German accent. That Is Just
the way George Will spoke. Wits sister Mary SAYS
that George VIII always carried small memorandum
book with him. in which he kept notes OF addresses,
etc She has not been able to find this among his
possessi sioDs in NewY York il found on his body
George VIII was according to the description OF his
friends boy who was inclined to trust people win
whom he became ACQUAINTED aud II is known that ne
was in the habit Of going 0bCut with at least one man
whose reputation is bad

THE COURTS.

HE LEFT TWO WIDOWS TO FIGHT FOR 1T.
A contest has been begun in the SurTogate's Court
over the will of George W. Wheat. The trouble comes
about by the fact that Mr.. Wheat left two widows.
One Of them, Emma S., secured divorce from him
some years ago and in the decree the court ordered
that Mr. Wheat should not marry again. He did not
obey the order of the court however and not long after
the decree was signed he went 10 New7Jersey and
married one of his wife's relatives.
The second wife's name was Jane Elizabeth Mr..
Wheat was publisher and he died short time ago.
According to the provisions of his will everything is
bcdueathed 10 his second wife The first wife ana the
children by her are not mentioned IN the document at
all 4 son. Louis A. Wheat, has brought The contest
through his attorney, Henry seldner The usual
charges of fraud and undue influence are made. me

STRONG EVIDENCE OF FORGERY.
A LAWYER PLEADS sTRENUoUsLY FOR TINE TO
CLEAR HIMSELF


Strong evidence of forgery was developed In AN
otherwise unlmportant before Judge lngraia'n,
In the supreme Court, Chambers, yesterday Inc sun
grew ont Of a partnership formed by Rosaile nr90"
and Charles T.. MWrtin. Mrs. Hirsch had n'n"
factory OF cloth hats, caps, etc, at NO. los ore0o
ST. She valued her stock at $4,000. she took Msrui
in as partner the latter putting $4,000 in cash lhto
the business. This agreement was made on june o
last Mrs. Hirsch to take charge Of the factory
and Martin was to lcok after the business affairs Of
the firm.
Everything seemed to go smoothly until September
o, when Mrs Hirsch was surprised by call floni
the sheriff. That official took charge OF the factory
10 satisfy two judgments against the trm OF hlrson
& Martin, amounting to S3,140 Oh. The judgment
had been obtained by confession upon two OF inc
firms notes which Mis-. Hirsch had never seen or
heard anything about. One Of these notes was Tor
S2345 gwen by Martin in the name OF
the firm his wife, Valerie LOuise Martin Ihe
Judgment in the case was for S2,490 Oh in favor OF
Mrs Martin. The other note was for $500, hi
favor Of Henry o. Libby, and had been gwen Dy
Martin In the firms name.
Both judgments we're by confession, and after the
sheriff took charge OF the business upon tue execution

motion TO have the judgments set aside as fraudulent
The case came up before Judge Ingraham. in the
Supreme Court Chambers, yesterday Acharah
Kurzman appeared as attorney for Mrs. Martin, in her
suit and Leonard Bronner was Mr.. Libby's lawyer III

covered that the confessions Of judgment bore Mrs
Hirschs signature and she declared that she had never
signed them. In fact she had seen them until
after the execution her property had been issued
Upon this state Of facts being explained to Judge
Ingraham he said that 1t no case for him. Dut ne
nould send IL TO the Attorney and Grand jury
for action concerning the forgery, and would call the
attention Of the General Term to Mr. BrOnners con-
ncction with the affair." Upon this decision being made
Bronner jumped up and exclaimed:
For Gods sake. Jut30 Ingraham, don't cut me oil
in that way Then he said that he had come to New
York highly recommended by judges OF the Court
OF Appeals and that he had borne and untarnlshed
reputaon He could explain matters that it would
appear TO the court that he was in no way connected
with the alleged forgery, he said, and Judge Ingraham
caya him the remainder Of the day 10 make an eA1

THE VEST GETS MONEY EARLY.

FIGURES FROM THE sUB-TREAsURY WHICH
SHOULD EASE THE MARKET.
There was a general discussion in Wall Street yes
terday of The Tribunes figures showing how the m)Ve
en+ of currency to the West this had exceeded
by large amounts the figures Of the corresponding
n.riod of 1890 More figures in detail were obtained
YESTERDAY They indicate that the interior movement
has been so large 10 date that only extraordinary
demand can possibly embarrass the money market.
The SHIPMENTS of currency through the sub-TIeasury
In 1850 began in August and in that month the banks
in New.York City deposited S4,53OO00 In July and
August, 1890. the deposits were $11,13OO00 and in
the same months this year they were $12,7oOOOO IN
september 1885, the deposits for shipment amounted
TO s12O3O.OoO in september 1890, the deposits were
80 656 600 while the deposits from september 70
15. inclusive this year were @11, 100000.
The sub-TreasuTy restricted the deposits In sep
tember $780, to silver and legal tenders and in OctoDer
fhe privilege was entirely withdrawn. That cut down
the currency movement through the SubTreasuIy, and
vet the deposits for the first ten days of this month
were only about 81 100000 less than the deposits 1or
the entire month II year ago. II is known tlat the
Western monetary centres are not much stronger In
cash than year ago and their early calls upon Ne"
York this season will tend to ease the money market
by reducing the amount of necessary Withdrawals tef
on. The following table will show tile deposits Win

ment West and South during the periods named ule
