BOLD SCHEME 70 DEFRAUD
BY USE Of BOGUS CHECKS.
ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS
SAID TO HAVE BEEN
SECURED
IN NEW YORK STATE ALONE.
SCHEME WORKED By MEN CLAIM
ING TO REPRESENT REPUBLIC
CAN COMMITTEE.

NEW YORK, October 25.-Operating
under The cloak of agents of the Re-
publican campaign committee, rogues
have succeeded in obtaining probably
100000 on forged checks in this city
and throughout the State. Their meth
cd of operation is shown in the cases
of H. NJ Cook, who is under arrest on
the charge of passing bogus checks
bearing the name of NJ. L. Muhleman,
treasurer of the Republican national
campaign committee. Cook, it is al
legged, induced William J. Wright to
deposit checks purporting to represent
$1,100 to his account in the Mount Nor
ris bank These all bore Muhleman' 5
name.
Cook explained that they were con-
tributions to the Republican campaign
fund, and the committee not desiring
to let the amount of the subscriptions
be generally known had arranged to
cash the checks in different banks.
Wright gave Cook 81 100 in cash and
a few days ago the prisoner appeared
again with S1,700 in checks. The bank
officials began an investigation and
found that the checks had been forged.
Other similar transactions have been
reported from the interior of the State,
which lead to the supposition that the
total receipts by the forgeries will not
fall short of 100000.
Treasurer Cornelius N. Bliss, of the
national committee, says that Cook
had no connection with that body. Mr.
Bliss said that Cook was once asso-
ciated with sub-treasury officials, and
had once undertaken to organize a po-
litical literary bureau, and in that way
had secured letters from the members
of. the committee. On the strength of
these letters the man had obtained the
funds. The sum of 5000 had been
traced to him, Mr.. Bliss said He be-
lieves that the real sum obtained by
Cook is greater.
