With the Institution by Pearl
d: 00., as'Soouiily‘ior a Loan
of $300,000
NEW YORK, September 20.——The
details of a scheme whereby the Na-
tional City bank of this city was re-
cently victimized by a clever forger.
came out yesterday. The forger pre-
sented a bogus check bearing the name
of 3. Well known stock exchange firm
and received in return securities val-
ued at about 8300.000.
Pearl a 00., stock brokers at 27 n n.
llam street. recently negotiated a one
day loan for 8300.000 with this bank-
ing institution. On Wednesday a
check for the amount of the loan. plus
$37.50 for the one day's interest, was
presented at the bank by a stranger
who received the security deposited by
Pearl & Co. for their loan.
The bank on which the brokers‘
check was drawn is one with which
Pearl & Co. never had an account. so
the forgery was not discovered until
the check had passed through the
clearing house exchanges. when it was
promptly branded as fictitious.
A private detective agency was cull~
cd in and transfer the securities
Was at once stopped. The detectives
intimate that they have a ciew to the
identity of the. forger. who is believod
to have had one or more accomplices.
The Wall street branch of police head-
quaricrs was also called into the case.
it Is believed that the forger had an
intimate knowledge of Pearl & Co.‘s
affairs. E. F. Slayback. junior mem-
ber of Pearl of. Co. said:
"i have been asked not to divulge
the name of the bankconccrncd. I
can only say that it is rich and If the
forgery should involve any loss the
bank will be amply able to stand it.
“The. odd muount .of the forged
chock," added Mr. Elayback. “repro-
acnts a day’s interest at 4 1-2 per cent.
As a matter of fact the loan is rccord-
ed on our books at (f 1-4 per cent.
Clearly somebody must have. had
knowledge of the loan. th had it
been some one in our eniploy the In
icrcsl l':il(‘. would have been computed
at -I 1-4 per cent."

were disregarded entirely. This could
be done with easy impunity, owing to
the overwhelming numbers on the Nor-

it was a.foregone conclusion that
First Selectman John Devine would be

fact, that. all of the rcglstcrtxl voters of

Anothcr kick of East Norwaik is that
