DIAMONDS SEIZED BY WARRANT
Plaintiffs Assert That Goods of High
Value Were Secured by
fraudulent Practices.

A suit, which carries with it several
sensational features. was yesterday filed in
the United States Circuit Court by Max
Freund against Sismund L. Braverman
and Rudolph Bostelman. constituting the
firm of Braverman g. Bostelman, whole
sale an retail jewelers., doing business at
rooms 3 and 4, 121 Post street. Louis
Braverman. father of Sigmund Braver-
m an and predecessor in the business, is
also made one of the defendants.
The complaint. aside from the allega-
ton of large indebtedness due several New
York jewelry firms and prayer for the
recovery of such amounts by judgment Of
the court, alleges a consp racy to defraud
by false represen tation of cash assets. It
is asserted in the petition that certain mer-
camille agencies were fraudulently in
duced to rate the firm of BraVerman 81
Bostelman in their reports as representing
a cash ca pital o $4,000 and that by means
of such representation the firm obtained
large credit with number Of leading
jeweIry houses in New York City. The
firms which were misled and granted eX-
tensiye credits under the alleged false
repre- sentation are the following: Bruhl
Brothers & Co., Max Freund & Co..
Heilbroun & Bank, E. A. NeresheImer 81
& Co.
After citing the facts relating 10 the
formation of the partnership of Braner-
man q BOstelman and the alleged methods
used for obtaining extensive credits and
goods valued at large sums Of money, the
complainant AYERS that Louis BIaverman,
father of Sigmund l.. Braverman, was
cognizant of and a party 10 the alleged
fraud, and the three defendants are ac-
cused Of conspiracy to deiraud, for which
reason the plaintiff asks the court to cause
the arrest ana detention OF the defendants
until thorough examination has been
made.
Judge McKenna Immediately Issued an
order appointing United States Marshal
Barry Baldwin receiver. and custodian OF
certain properties IN the shape OF dia-
mnnds In the possession of Brayerman 81
Bostelman. The total amount sued for Is

Max Freund is the assignee of all the
New York creditors, Jacob Heyman OF
this city is agent for Freund and Reinstein
& Eisner are attorneys for all the plant
ifs and their consolidated claims.
Some time ago the firm of Braverman %
Bosteman failed in business and assigned
TO Louis Braverman. The latter placed
about $4,000 worth of diamonds In the
First National Bank, where they were
seized by Marshal Baldwin by order of
the court.
How far the case will be prosecuted
under the criminal allegation of conspiracy
to defraud is not yet known. Il is likely,
from expressions made by the plaintiffs
attorneys, that a reasonable satisfaction
of the various claims will end the matter.
Marshal Baldwin, as receiver, Is acting in
his personal capacity, not as an official,
and be is under $50. 600 bonds. The plant
if is under $4,000 indemnity bonds.

FOR FALSE IMPRISONMENT.
Roza Wants $4,000 for Having
Been Placed i'm Irons.

The case Of Benjamin Roza against Ell.

trial in the United States District Court
yesterday morning. Roza asks for dam
ages in the sum of $4,000 for having been
falsely imprisoned in the hold of the
whaling steamer Narwhal, of which Smith
was master. off the north coast of Alaska
on July 90, 1892.
Roza resided at the whaling station
known as shooting Station" of which he
is part owner. The wheelsman Of the
Narwhal had gone ashore and, as IL APP
peared to Captain Smith, had deserted.
The latter believed that his wheelsman
was kept in hiding by the aid and con-
niyance of RIA and caused him to be
taken aboard his vessel and placed in
irons for fifteen hours. Hence the suit for
damages. The case is still on trial

bill by Mr. Jno. Kennedy of Harris cOun-
ty. This bill was introduced Monday and
favorable report secured Immediately,
and the bill printed, so that it could be
acted on yesterday. 1t is a most import
ant measure and is generally considered
to be an administration measure, as its
subject matter occasoncd a special mes
sage from the governor not long since. In
making Il speech on the bill yesterday Mr.
Kennedy stated that he presumed the
house would readily vote for the passage of
the bill in that they had sustained the
governor in the charge he made in his veto
message of the Texas and New Orerns
consolidation bill wherein he charged the
members with being blandished and he
hoped the bill would pass. The bill was
passage owing to the shortnesS of time
before final adjournment. The full text
of the bill is as follows:

ment:

of advising or discussing with said com
mittee of and concerning any bill before

penitentiary for not more than five years.
Sec. .. If any such persons as are named
in section of this act shall approach or

for in section | of this act
Sec, 3. If any person named in section
