RELEASED AND REARRESTED
SEYMOUR ARERBACK OBTAINED
MONEY BY FRAUD AND MUST
EXPLAIN IN COURT.

Seymour Arerback, whose case OF OBJ
tanning money under false pretenses,
has been hanging in Judge Balls
court for several days, came up for set
tlement this morning. He was first
arraigned by John G. Harkness, who
represents publishing house, and who
employed Arerback to solicit news
paper advertisements at cents per
line. The defendant secured the ad-
vertisements, but his subsequent arrest
prohibited him from, carrying out the
terms of the contract, and the business
firm which gave Arerback the contract
became alarmed, as IL had paid the de-
fendant, and thought that il had been
bunCoed.
Mr.. Harkness refused to prosecute
the charge of embezzling money from
the publishing house. AS he was
about to leave the court room Clarence
Hollis, Of the Manhattan Laundry.
preferred a charge against him Of OBJ
tanning money under false pretenses.
Arerback claims to have been employ
ed by Mr.. Harkness, but 1t was denied
by Hardness, who said that he warned
the defendant not to solicit advertise
ments at cents per line. Arerback
was held for court.
Joseph c. Smith was arraigned for
drunkenness,s but the court dismissed
the case, as the officer who arrested
the prisoner failed to appear.
Frederick Taylor was fined $40 and
costs for acting indeeently on the
street.
Harry c. Morgan, who was charged
with setting fire to his home on Tues
day night, was arraigned and, upon
the recommendation of Assistant City
Solicitor Cahoon, was dismissed on
that charge, but the court fined him
$40 and costs for disorderly conduct.
