VAIL STREET MAN ARRESTED,
Accused of wrongful Acts That
Melted 100000.

New York, Dec. 29.-It was announced
3 the district attorneys office today that
warrants have been issued for the arr st
of Henry Oliver Goldsmith, one of the Lest
known men of Wall street, who has been
operating there recently.
The specific charge ag ainst him is
grand larceny in the first degree, for ap-
propriating Il check for So 900. the prop
erty Of Oscar Z. A. WieSsner, the irol
bedstaad manufactures, of Brooklyn.
incidentally. the officials OF the ass.
trict attorneys office say that Gold
smith has managed TO get away with
something like half a million dollars ~
operating similar to that which broug 1t
the f. s. Dean Company before the pub.
lie.
Goldsmith was indicted by the grand
jury on Tuesday last.
Detectives have followed clews all over
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Boston and
other places, but SO far he has elud I'd
them.
Goldsmith and man named Webster
rad been operating for long time at
81 Broad street, under the firm name of
Hoyt & Co... and 1T was as such firm
that they carried Oh the scheme that netted
the half million dollars.
Both Goldsmith and Webster, according
to the officials in the district attorney S
office, are graduates of Elmira Reforrnatorv,
where they first became acquainted with
each other. -
Webster is an Englishman, having snud
family come ctions in that country, and
b., has now come forward to testify against
Goldsmith 81
"Hoyt & Co.. carried on their bust
ness in Wall street through George
Hazelweide and William A. Mitchell,
both of W hom were arrested three weeks
ago.
The cases against them are now pend
Ing in the Center street police court.
In consequence of their operations for
Hoyt & CO. both brokers We're dropped
from the exchange.
They have also turned on Goldsmith,
and it was largely, it is said, upon their
evidence given before the grand jury
that that body found the Indictment.
Immediately after their arrest, and be-
fore the grand jury had taken action, it
was deemed advisable to place Gold
smith under surveillance.
When the police went 70 look for him
at that time, however, he could not be
found.
Goldsmith is about thirty five years
old, and, in the opinion Of the district
attorneys office, he is one of the shrewd-
est men that ever engaged in Wall
street speculation after the manner of
Dean & Co.
They say his victims are numbered by
the thousands
