TIE ARREST OF J. N. WOLFSON.
HIS RETURN TO NEw-ORLEANS' FROM THIS
CITY - STATEMENTS By HIS
BROTHER IN-IAW

Joseph ~ Wolfson who according TO dispatches
from New-Orleans. has beea arrested In that city
for being implicated in the robbery OF the Union
Bank. was recently in New-York. a guest OF his
brother-n-aw. Mr.. Dinkelspiei, at the Hotel Ma
jestic. Mr.. and Mrs. Dnkelspie. whose home is
In England had been visit to this country
making their last stay in this city before returning
to England. Mrs. Dnkelspie Is sister OF MT
Wofson. Rumors came from New-Orleans that
Mr.. Wofsons name had been connected with the
bank scandals of that city, and that there was
| possibility that he might be placed under arrest
while in this city Last Friday a Tribune reporter
called at the Majestic for the purpose OF getting
Mr.. Wolfsons statement regarding the accusa-
tons made against him. Mr.. Wolfson was not
in. but Mr.. Dinkespiel told the reporter that his
brothcr-in-law had heard for the first time that
day that suspicion had fallen upon him as being
connected with The ooting OF the Union Bank, and
that he had been completely astounded AT the
news. He branded the charges made against him
as absolutely false. Mr. Dinkelspiel said that MT
Wofson had no connection with the bank save as
a depostor The fact that he had left New Or
leans just at this time. Mr.. Dinkelspiel said. no
doubt had given some color TO the rumor that he
had fed to escape justice. Mr.. Dinkelspiel eN-
planned that the reason for Mr. Wolfsons coming
North had been the serious Illness of his wife. who
had been the guest OF Mrs Dinkelspiel Mrs Wolf
sons illness assumed such alarming condition
that he Cdr DinkelspieD telegraphed for her hus-
band
The charge entered against Wolfson Is that OF
aiding and abetting the robbery OF the bank OF
$500 en- March ls 1895. 1t is said that the fraud
was so sklfuy covered up that at first 1t was
overlooked by the examiner at work on the books
Irregularities in other directions furnished the
clew 70 certain developments which led TO the
arrest. With Wofsons arrest. two of the hve

Mr. Dinkelsylel last Saturday said that Mr.
Wolfson would return at once to New-Or'eans
and face the music" he was sure tn1t ne
could clear away the suspicion which hung around
him Mr.. Dinkelspel and his wife were to san me
next morning for Europe. and there was some
IN ought entertained that Mr.. Wolfson might also
be going leave this country. There is no doubt
that he was pretty closely watched As things
turned out he returned as he said he would. and
was at once placed under arrest.
