TOO MUCH PAPER AFLOAT
DAVID ROTHsCHILDS ARRESTED ON
COMPLAINT OBJ A BANK.
Names Of MOneyless Men Alleged to
Have Been Attached to Notes Given
on Security for a Loan.

NEW YORK, Dec. 29.-David Rothschilds
was arrested to-day on a warrant sworn
out at the instance of the Central National
Bank. According to the complaint, Roth
schilds was the head of the firm of r. Roth
schilds & Sons, which until recently con-
Quoted large clothing business in Cleve-
land, O. On May r. 1897, Rothschilds Wis
tied the Central National Bank and offered
a note signed by the firm for 5000, payable
Sept. II of that year, for discount. He made
a statement that the firm had liabilities of
about $4,000, but possessed assest of three
times that sum. He also gave the bank as
security about twenty promissory notes of
customers in sums ranging from 800 to $500,
which the bank says Rothschilds claimed
were secured by chattel mortgages. Their
total was $3.50. Among others were notes
signed by Harry Golden, John Emricl and
". Lei. Emrick's note was payable at the
Home National Bank of Chicago, as was
note purporting to be signed by Louis Cook
the others at the Office of the firm here.
When the 5000 note became due in Sep
TENDER of last year r. RothschildS & Sons
assigned but the Central Bank with the
5000 of notes, felt safe. AS fast as the
notes became due the firm sent them out
for collection, but the banks reported they
could not find the drawers of the paper
After search, however, Emrick finally was
located in the Chicago stock yards, where
that he had formerly worked for the Roth
schildS concern, and that David Rothschilds
told him to sign his name to about twenty
notes. Just what they were, he said he did
not know and he did not care, as he knew,
having no money, no one could make him
pay the notes. Emrick also stated that the
other men employed by the firm were asked
to do the same, and that Golden, Lei and
Cook made about the same number as he
did. Later the Central National Bank To-
Gated Lei, who corroborated the statement
made by Emrick. Other men employed by
the firm also made similar admissions.
With this information the bank laid the
matter before the district attorney, and the
result was the issuance of the warrant for
Rothschidss arrest. When arraigned in
court Rothschilds declined to make state
nothing about any swindling, and it was
into paying a debt contracted by firm
that had made an assignment and was in
the hands of an assignee. While the police,
who conducted the investigation for the dis
trict attorneys office, will make no state
ment of details further than stated, they
say about 100000 of the Rothschilds paper
held in 5000 bail for examination on Jan. 8.
CLEVELAND, o., Dec. 29.-It is impossi-
BILE to learn anything here about the firm of
r. Rothschild & Son, mentioned in the New
York dispatch concerning the arrest of
David Rothschild. No such firm has been
in business here within the past two or
three years nor do any of the clothing mer-
chants know of firm of that name.

BLOOMFIELD, Ind, Dec. 29-Dr. Ephra-
i'm Gray murdered Lizzie Skinner about
o'clock this afternoon, the tragedy being
enacted on public street, in full view of a
number of witnesses. Gray, who is about
thirty-five years old, son of a well-known
physician, and a married man with an es-
Unable wife and child, became infatuated
with the Skinner woman who was also
married and had child. The two had lived
much with each other, going on frequent
trips out Of town, sometimes being absent
several weeks. This had been going on for
two or three years. The woman's husband,
Dick Spears, had secured a divorce some
time ago. and since then Gray has lived at
his wife's home very little Gray was in
sanely jealous of the Skinner woman. Last
night he had all appointment with her,
which she failed to keep, and at once went
on a futile hunt for her. To-day he learned
she was going to Bloomington on the Ills
o'clock Monon train. He preceded her to
the depot and waited until he saw her COM
ing He met her about fifty feet from the
station, and, after saying a few words,
stabbed her in the heart with a surgical
knife about eight inches long. The woman
screamed and he caught her and stabbed
her again in the back, and then, after she
fell, he cut her throat and deliberately
wiped his knife on her wrap. He then came
to town and gave himself up and was taken
to Jail, where he lighted cigarette and be-
gan reading a book The murdered woman
lay at the scene of the murder for about an
hour, when the body was brought to the
undertaking establishment of Ryan e. Son,
to await the action of the coroner. She was
a good-looking woman, about twenty-three
years old, and was the daughter of Henry
T. Skinner of Bloomfield. Gray, who is
known as Dug Gray, is the son of Dr. ].
w. Gray and is a graduate Of the st. Louis
Medical College. He has led a reckless life
of drinking and gambling. He had told sew
eral persons he was going to kill the wom-
an and showed the knife to Lewis Kidd, a
saloon keeper here, a few days ago, and
told him he was going to kill her with that
knife. His relatives are among the best peo-
pie in town.
Later in the day Gray was taken away
for safe keeping, presumably to Sullivan or
Bloomington. The indignation was great
that his removal was deemed necessary.
