A dispatch from Baltimore says:
a woman walked into detective head
quarters tonight and asked 10 see VII
liam Boland. one Of the three men who
were arrested last week on suspicion Of
being members Of a gang Of forgers who
have been operating in the West. The
visitor said she was Boland's wife. but
Captain Freeburger recognized her as
Lizzie Turner alias "Shecny Rachel"
Gress-maker arrested i'm New York as a
suspicious character September 5. 1872
The woman is believed to be an active
member OF the gang of forgers who they
think they have caught by the arrest OF
Boland, Arthur NJ. Dearborn, and VII
liam Hartley.
Reading of the arrest through the
press dispatches Detective Herman witt,
of Cincinnati came to Baltimore with
Paying Teller George Koehler. of the
First National Bank OF that city, ami
identified three of the accused as expert
forgers. Detective Witt said the men
belonged to a gang of forgers who be
gan operations in Cincinnati in May. and
who are now wanted by the police OF
number of western cities. BOland has
several aliases, including + Ford, VIII
