The story that comes from Bridge-

FORGERY ALLEGED
w. w. Keyes Missing Under Pecu- _.
liar ClPGUlTlStallCBS.
Judge Andrew Selleck’s Name Said
to Have Been Forged to Notes
Amountlng to $5,000.
Grave charges have been made
against W. W. Keyes, general manager
of the W. W. & B M. Keyes Co., of
Stratford. He is missing from Bridge-
port, and from his home in Stratford,
and is accused of forging the name of
Judge Andrew Selleck, his father-1n-
law, to about $5,000 weith of commer-
cial paper, now in the hands of Marsh,
Merwin & Lemon, of Bridgeport, with
whom the firm kept its funds.
The W. W, & H.111. Key es Co. is the
outgrowth of the old De Oxidized Metal
company. It was organized three or
four years ago and its factOIy is located
on Bruce avenue north of the railroad,
east of Bruce’ s brook and just across
the Stratford line. Judge Andrew Sel-
leck, father- in— —law of W. W. Keyes, was
presldent of the concern, he became
generalmanager and his brother, B.
Melvil Keyes, was chosen secretary and
treasurer.
It appears that recently the concern
became rather embarrassed, it is alleg-
ed, by the conduct of its general man-
ager. An investigation was at once
commenced when he suddenly disap-
peared and has not since been seen.
But the investigation revealed a holy
wonderful state of affairs which made
[hings look exceedingly bad for the
missing man. Notes drawn by him and
endorsed by Judge Selleck were found
to the amount of $5, 000 and were in the
hands of Marsh, Merifin & Lemon, the
the concern’s bankers.
Upon examination the signature of
Judge Selleck was pronounced fraudu-
lent and it was discove1ed that the
money raised on the notes had been
converted to his own use by Young
Keyes. He left no tiaces as to the
place to which he fled though his friends
assert that he has only gone away on
business and will explain things upon
his return.
Creditors of the company, however,
take an entirely different view of the
matter and believe that he has left for
good and all. William McVoy and
Joseph Flynn, two employee, attached
the company’s: property Wednesday
morning for $5150 each for wages, while
William Blight, father-in-law of R. M.
Keyes, its secretary and treasurer, also
placed an attachment for 8300 upon it.
Mr. Keycs is well known in Norwalk,
havingafew years ago married Miss
Lillias, ,the only daughter of Judge
Andrew Selleck, who formerly resided
on Mott avenue, this city.
The Bridgepmt Union has the follow-
ng later report of the above case :
Mr. Keyes bade his wife good-bye
on Monday and departed supposedly
for his place of business. He went
there and then disappeared. He failed
to return Monday night. Tuesday even-
ing Mrs, Keyes received a letter from
him from New York in which he no-
knowledged forgeries extending over a
period of eighteen months.
Judge Selleck, who has advanced his
son—in-law many thousand dollars be-
came suspicious of him on Saturday
last. He had endorsed a note for 8300
given by Keyes. The note was held by
the Fiiirfield County bank of this city.
On Saturday Judge Selleck came to
Norwalk and called at the bank and
learned that the note had not been met
although Keyes had t)l(l him that he
had taken it up.
Marsh Merwin A: Lemmon, Bridge-
port bankers, stated that a note for $200
endorsed by Judge Selleck went to pro—
test on Tuesday, and Mr. Selleck when
shown the note said he had not endors-
ed it and that his signature was a for—
gery. They further stated that the
amount of the notes would not reach
85,000 as reported. Mrs. Keyes had
also endorsed the notes. Judge Selleck
told the Union reporter that Keyes had
cost him $15,000. He had endorsed his
notes until eighteen months ago when
he began forging. Mrs. Keyes said she
was inclined to think that her husband
had lost the money gambling on horses.
The Union further says that Keyes
went to his wife and asked her to give
him her diamond earrings and 11. dia-
mond pin as he wanted to pawn them
to get money to meet a bill. She wil-
lingly gave them to him and he pawned
them in Bridgeport but did not give
her the tickets. The Judge said that
although Keyes had drawn upon him
heavily, there was enough left for them
to live upon.
When the Judge sold his house on
Mott avenue, this city, the Union says
Keyes got $3,000 of the money. He
also wanted $1,500 but did not get'it.
Keyes 1's 36 years old and was a mem-
ber of the First Presbyterian church.
It was not generally known that he
gambled, but such is believed to be
the fact, continues the Union. He has
probably gone west.
So far forgeries. to the amount of
81,600 have been discovered. It is be-
lieved other forged notes will turn up
as he professes t1 have been using
forged paper for eighteen months.
Judge Selleck has about decided to
wind up the affairs of the company, and
will probably make application for a
receiver soon. The affairs of the com-
pany are in a bad plight.-

' Spanish Officials Loath to Admit the Loss
or the Reina Regents.
. MADRID. March 21. -—The officials here
consider that it is still possible that the
officers of the Alfonzo XII are mistaken in
their identification of the wreck as that of
the Reina Regenta. Senor Nore‘u, lately
the commander of the cruiser Condo dc
Voncdito, said in an interview today that
he believed that such an expert sailor as
the captain of the Reina Regenta would
have quit the dangerous coast in the vicin-
ity of Tangier at the first symptom of a
storm and made for Cadiz or Algeciras. If
he found that impossible, owing to the
tempest, he would have endeavored to gain
the ocean,-whcre the vessel may have foun-
dered or still be floating disabled.
The queen regent, after whom the ves-
sel is named, is still hopeful.
dered that the prayers for the safety of the
ship and crew be continued.
The governmont probably knows wheth-
er or not the vessel has been lost, but is
hiding the truth until a new ministry
shall have been formed. It is stated that
the search will be continued, but this Is a
forlorn hope. The common poopm are loud
in their muled Q 0113, which they direct
against the Moorish mission, to convey
which back to Marocco the Reina. Regents.
was sent to Tangier.
The Correspondcncla do Espana is re-
sponsible for the statement that tho Al-
fonzo XII brought to Cadiz the bodies of
30 men belonging to the Reina Regenta.
