Brokers shrewdIy swindIed.

New York, March 9.-Several Stock Ex-
change firms have been the victims of an
ingenious and novel swindle within the
last few days. The swindler is a young
man, who, wearing neither hat nor coat,
rushes into an office and asks the cashier
10 lend him s. or $40 in revenue stamps TO
enable the firm of which he purports 10
be clerk to get out its bills of sales for
The day, explaining that his firm happens
TO be short the specified amount of
stamps. He usually gives the name of
some reputable firm doing business on the
same floor and in most cases the loan is
made as an act of friendly accommodation.
In one instance the cashier TO whom he
made his request had heard about the
swindler, and, asking him to wait a min
ute, went outside the window and kicked
the fellow out of the Office into the corri-
dor. The swindler promptly entered the
Office in which he had represented himself
as being employed. saying that the firm
from whose Office he had just been elected
was short OF stamps and had sent him to
borrow S. worth. got them and made his
escape from the building.

ANGRY FATHER RELENTED.
First Wanted Daughter Arrested.
Then Consented to Her Marriage.

New York, March 9.-An excited man

of Resident Street and Schenectady Ave-
nue., Brooklyn, asked Policeman Boyle, of

couple who had just left an annex ferry
boat and were walking hurriedly along
Exchange Place.
The girl is my daughter Sarah.' he
said, 'and her companion is James
RoSer."
Ford told the policeman that Roser had
abducted his daughter, who he said is only
fifteen The couple admitted they had
run away from Brooklyn. They had de-
termined to get married and, Ford OBJ
jecting, an elopement was planned. Roser
is twenty-one years old, and he says he is
perfectly able to take care of a wife Miss
Ford said she wanted to marry Roser.
She denied that he abducted her. and as
there was no charge on which the coupe
could be held they were released.
Finally Ford consented to allow his
daughter to marry Roser if she would 20
to Brooklyn to have the ceremony per-
formed. Roser and Miss Ford accepted
the proposition. and father and daughter,
and prospective bridegroom took the first
boat back.
The couple were married later in

END OF A FAMOUS FoRGER.
Death at the Counter Cashes His

the Bank of England forgeries, died here

The cause of his death was given as grip.
was ffry-two years old and native of
Chicago to which place his body will be
taken for burial.
Austin BidweH and his brother, George
Bidwell. came here about two weeks ago
They said they expected TO start in bust
ness here having backing in the East TO
engage in mining. Austin was taken i'll
about a week ago.
BY means of forged securities in 1872, the
BidwelIs got s. 000, 900 from the Bank of
England. after victimizing other banks N
Europe by means of forged letters of credit
Their idea was 10 get $50, ,O00,OGO and then
compromise with the bank. In the big game
they failed and fed. George Bidwell
was caught in France and Austin Bidwell
in Cuba. They received life sentences with
their two confederates. After fourteen
years they were released on ticket of leave
The Bidwell brothers, Austin and George,
evolved their scheme against the Bank OF
England in the Spring of 1872, when they
went TO Europe for the purpose of seeing
what they could do 10 add to their ex-
chequer by fraudulent means. With them
went George Mcdonald and George Eng
len. Al the time the Bidwells had some
where between so 600 and $40 900 in their
possession.
The money they got out of the Bank of
England does not appear to have been a
part of any prearranged plan, but rather
to have been suggested 10 them by some
discoveries in regard to English banking
methods which they made on opening an
account with the Western branch of the
Bank of England. The account was open
ed in the assumed name of Warren.
Finding the London banks and banks on
the Continent were in the habit of paying
over money without verifying signatures
and 10 transfer bills of exchange from hand
TO hand, without sending them to the ac-
ceptors to be initiated" they quickly
evolved plot to get fortune. They forg-
ed letters of credit on which they drew
money on the Continent, and George Bid
well even made a trip to Brazil. All their
schemes were successful, and in book
about his crooked work, which he wrote
later on. George Bidwell said that at this
| time their income was sometimes $4,000
day.
But in March, 1873. their trouble began.
1t was then determined to make a final
big haul There is no reason to suppose
that the deal would not have been sue
cessfuI had not one of the Bidwells failed
to put the date of the acceptance on two
of the forged bills. They were sent to the
proposed acceptor to have the date put in
and the forgeries were discovered.
The schemers were arrested in different
parts of the world. They were all i'm
prisoned for life after trial that cost the
bank s50OOOO. The Bidwells got tickets
of leave in July, 1887, and came to this
country.
