VAGABOND ROSENSTOCK
MARRIED MILLIONAIRE'S DAUGHTER
AND ROBBED THE FATHER.
David Wilson, of baltimore, Has the
and VIII Prosecute Him.

NEW YORK, JAM 30.--Moses Rosen-
stock was arraigned in the Center-street
Police Court to-day on the complaint of his
father-in-law, David Wilson, of Baltimore
as fugitive from justice. He was held
pending the arrival of requistion papers
from Baltimore. Rosenstock was arrested
last night. He is thirty-four years of age,
but looks much older. Mr.. Wilson. the
complainant, is the senior member of the
millionaire furniture manufacturing firm of
David Wilson & Son, Baltimore Thirteen
years ago. according to the story told by
Mr.. Wilson in court to-day, Rosenstock
was compelled, through his gambling debts
and entanglements, to leave Germany. He
came to this country, and after a short res
idence in Baltimore married Mr.. Wilson's
oldest daughter despite her fathers oppo-
sition. Soon after that Rosenstock was
given an important position with his father
iu-law's firm, but after paying attention to
business for a few months, Rosenstock
again plunged deeper than ever into dissi-
patton. One day came the refusal of one of
the firms largest customers to pay bill of
over $4,000, which, it claimed according to
Mr.. Wilson. had been paid to Rosenstock
months before. When confronted with the
evidence Rosenstock denied that he had re-
ceived the money, but the matter was set
tied for time by Rosenstock's accepting
a. few hundred dollars and leaving town.
He left his wife and five children behind.
An expert was put at work on his books
and. Mr.. Wilson states, discovered that
Rosenstock was $4,000 short in his ac-
counts. This was in 1896.
His dissipation in Baltimore . said Mr..
Wilson in court to-day, had already cost
me over $4,000, and when l found he had
been robbing me beside 1 determined 10
punish him severely II he could be found
For year and more detectives secured
the country for Rosenstock. He went they
learned, to Philadelphia, and after being in
the employ of a firm there for few months
disappeared, having defaulsed in small
sum. Later he went TO Pittsburg, and, ac
cording 10 the story. practically did the
same thing over again.
Rosenstock had nothing to say when ar
raigned to-day, and greeted his father-in-
law with downcast eyes. He showed little
emotion when told by Mr.. Wilson that
during two years he had been absent two of
his children had died. After he was re-
manded TO the Tombs, Rosenstock said he
would prepare a statement showing the
amount OF money he had taken from Mr..
Wilson.

WHEAT BREAKING UPWARD.
Flurries Similar TO the Letter Sensa-

New York, Oct 20.-There was an excit-
ing time at the opening of both the Chi
cago and local wheat markets this morn
ing. The Liverpool market started prices
at an advance of Cd. for cash wheat and
3-sd. for futures, on account of the in
ternational complications. Reports from
Chicago state that not since the excite
ment attending the Letter squeeze has
there been such a sensation on the Chica-
go curb.
When the market opened pademonium
reigned on the Board of Trade floor. The
bears had to face a runaway market, the
prices touching 6S cents in few minutes.
The scene enacted in the Chicago pit
had its counterpart in the local market.
The market at the opening presented an
animated scene with shorts trying to get
wheat at any price and willing to pay
cents per bushel more than last nights
prices TO cover outstanding contracts.
Throughout the early trading excitement
continued intense.
