Detective William +. Hatton made q
very Important arrest this ia ornlng
when he captured A. Il, Il. Kurtz, who
lie wanted In Philadelphia, New Jersey
and Maryland and In this city on
charges OF swindling, The detective
was put on the case last night, and ar
rested his man at o'clock this morn
ing as he was coming from the store
OF Adams y Brothers, after having
tried to swindle them.
Kurtz has been in this city for
short time under the name of Edward
Derlla, and pretended to be an agent
for the paper firm of Edwin L. Sent
man of Philadelphia. Kurtz was for.
merry In the employ of the above
named firm but had been discharged
by them. From ]. o. johnson ana Son,
the Market street stove dealers, he Sc
cured an order and by means OF a
bogus draft swindled them out of sl5.
He also attempted to work tho Same
dodge on the firm OF Adams and
Brothers but was unsuccessful. 1t Is
not known who else he swindled or at
tempted to.
When tue detective approached his
man and asked his name the prisoner
replied that II was Thompson. He
seemed very Indignant over bis arrest,
and 1t was with much difficulty
that hs was taken to the station house,
he was searched and on him was
found three bogus drafts OF e25 each,
drawn In favor of the First Western
Wall Paper Company OF Chicago. Be-
side these was small book in which
he had list Of names OF people he In
tended to call upon.
From this city there were: Alfred t.
Scott, Duncan Brothers, Lewis Jones,
Harry Yerger and firms in Washing
ton, Baltimore, Plttsburg. Cincinnati,
Chicago and st. Louis. The hook also
contained list of the names which he
had given at tho different boarding
houses. SO that he would not be
lcaught.
The Reading Railroad Company and
Belts Machine Company wers also to
have re ceived visits. While In this
city it Is said the swindler put up at
No. 1928 West street. As he Is wanted
on so many charges In Philadelphia.
the Chief Of Police has telegraphed to
Thorn of his capture here.
| The prisoner called upon E. II.
lFralm to do some printing. Mr.
iFraim did the work but the man only
paid half OF the bill 1t Is further said
that he obtained $500 from his former
employer,
| Detective Hatton deserves much
lcredit for his important arrest, as he
was only at work on the case for live
hours.
