Afternoon for the Re-
covery of Securities

Independence Day passed without E,
D. Dier, Harry j. Lawrence jr, Benja-
min F. Shrimpton or Adam Recklein,
all under indictment for larceny and
bceketing stock orders, having been
placed under arrest. In all Official
quarters it was said that no trace OF
the missing stock brokers, who were
indicted on Friday and are fugitives
from justice, had been found.
Hope is expressed that to-day at
least Dier may be found 1t is said
that there was an understanding be-
tween Dler's counsel and the District
Attorneys Office that if der was
wanted he would be produced, and as
Nash lockwood, Dier's lawyer, is ex-
pected to return to town to-day, there
may be interesting Developments. At
any rate no uneasiness seemed to be
felt yesterday that DER, If not his
three associates, would be appre-
hended.
Hearing On $4,000 Stock
At 3 o'clock this afternoon Arthur
Garfield Hays, counsel for the receiver
of E. D. Dier g. Co., will argue before
Judge Dickinson, in Philadelphia, the
right Of the receiver to recover about
$4,000 worth of stock in the az New
Street Corporation. This is the stock
that Dier hurriedly placed in the
hands of Charles Esenlohr, of Phila-
delphia, just as the firm was entering
official bankruptcy.
Dier had pledged this stock for
$4,000. He sent his confidential man.
r. Franklin Gaines, to PHILADELPHIA
with the proposition that Eisenlohr re-
deem this stock and hold it as security
for loans of S45,000 Dier owed Eisen-
lohr.
1t was also said yesterday that the
general features of the tales told to
the District Attorneys office by those
who lost part or ali of their money or
savings in the failure of Z. NJ. Fuller
d Co., were about the same--that they
demanded either their profits or stocks
from the firm, and were put off from
time to time until the end MANY of
the complaints are from New Yorkers.
but most OF them are from residents
Of other localities.
To Subpoena Books
1t is not known exactly when the evil
dence of larceny against Fuller and w.
f. McGee. his partner, will be presented
to the grand jury but it will be before
the new general sessions grand jury
that is to begin it's sittings to-day will
have finished its term. Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Benjamin F. Schreiber
said yesterday that in addition to max
ing use of the complaints from former
customers, subpoena will be sent after
the books These, however, are held
under stipulation with Fuller's attor-
neys that the receiver is to use them
for winding up the bankrupts' business,
and for NOT htr7tr else
1t was said that there were consid-
cradle quantities of securities in the
boxes of Fuller G. Co., but their total
value mas not been ascertained.
The books of Vaudeville & Co., an
other one of the list of failed stock
brokers, which were subpenaed on Sat
urday, are expected to be received at
the District Attorneys Office to-day.
This failure involved liabilities of
about S2,500,000 AS the receiver said
he had signed no protecting stipulation
the books may be used in seeking evil
dence of crime.
