.HE|NzE, COPPER
KING, IS INDICTED
FOR ovER-cERTIFicATi OF
CHECKS FOR 100000.
HE GIVES BAIL IN $4,000.
Federal Grand Jury at New York City
Probes the Affairs Of Bank Of
Which Heinze was Formerly
the President.

New York. Jan. S.--Indicted by the
federal grand jury for the over-certiil.
cation of 10 checks, representing In
the aggregate over 100000 and drawn
by the firm of Otto Heinze & Co. on
the Mercantile national bank, +. Au-
gustus Heinze, the copper magnate
and former president of the Mercan-
tile national bank, surrendered him
self Tuesday to United States Com
missioner Shields and later was re-
leased on $4,000 bail. Heinze will be
arraigned to plead to the indictment
before Judge Chatfield in the United
States circuit court to-day.
Edward Lauterbach, counsel for
Helnze, stated last night that his eli
ent did not willfully over-certify the
checks, as he had drawn a check to
the credit of Otto Heinze & Co. to the
amount of $500,OOO which the book
keeper of the bank possibly failed to
enter on the books until day after
the certification of the checks In ques-
ton.
The indictment of Heinze by the
federal grand jury, which has been in
vestigating the Mercantile and other
banks identified with the Heinze and
Charles w. Morse interests, is the af-
termath of the collapse of the HeinZe
pool in United Copper and which
brought about the suspension of Gross
Il Kleeberg, stock brokers, and subse-
quently resulted in the resignation of
f. Augustus Heinze from the presi-
dency and the retirement of the di.
rectors of the Mercantile national
bank after an examination of the in
stitution had been made by the clear
ing house committee. He declared at
the time that he had been betrayed
by his friends in the United Copper
pool.
The troubles of #. Augustus Heinze
began with the bull campaign started
by Otto HeinZe & Co. and associates
In the stock of the United Copper Co.,
| which Mr.. Heinze had organized and
developed after his hong fight with the
lAmalgamated copper interests In Mon
tana. The stock was selling about
go when mysterious selling was de-
tected. Believing 1t to be an effort to
| raid the stock by short selling, Otto
| HeinZe & Co. gave unlimited buying
orders to various brokers, believing
that when the time came the bear op-
| orators would be unable to cover their
, contracts except at such prices as the
| Heinzes dictated.
Heavy selling of United Copper con-
| tinued and to purchase the stock Of
fered otto Heinze a. Co. were forced
to draw checks for large amounts to
various brokers. When the source of
| the selling was ascertained the
Heinzes declared that they had been
betrayed by friends who sold their
holdings of Copper on high market.
