NEW BOND THEFTS BELOW BEAD LINE SHOW INSIDE HAND Accurate Tips Enable Fake Messengers to Get Rich - . Securities. TOTAL NOW $12,000,000. Six Hundred Banks Victimized . .. .. in Year aild Nation-VVia- e Rnillld.IIn PlintlfYl ' j Th ,!i.,vnrw r.f hM n hond tfiefta bolow the dead Une, netting 110,000. was accepted y by the police and District Attorney's office as evidence of \boring from within\ that somebody on the Inside ot Stock Exchange houses la tipping off or- ganized thieves outside. Assistant District Attorney Doollng Said he had recently received names q.nd figures allowing that COO banks fend brokerage houses in the United States have been vlctlmlzedb y thieves In the past year to the extent of $12,000,000. A chain of \fences\ ex- tends alt over tho country, and he said ho had information that a clear- ing house had been established here by the orooks to arrange for dispos- ing of stolen securities. .The New York authorities hivve be- gun systematic work with Federal offlcolls and the police of other cities to exchange lists of stolen securities and thus break up the \fences.\ As a. safeguard against theft It is un- derstood a special committee of the Stock Exohangc and the police s atwork on a plan to employ retired policemen and firemen as messengers tot banks and brokerage houses. The new thefts were through fake messengers'. One representing him- self from Gude, Wlnmlll & Co., No. 20 Broad Street, called at noon at a well known brokerage house. He asked for fifteen shares of Crucible Steel, ten shares of American Woolen and five shares of Wabash which were awaiting delivery to the firm he claimed to reprecent, Tho value of the securities is 21,000, and soon after ho had signed fpr them und left the roal messenger called and tho trick was exposed. Salomon Bros. & Hutzler of No. Slpino Street yesterday sent ' a turwengtr out with $6,000' of bonds nddresjed to Barr & Mulr. For soma Uttknow.t reason tho bonds were left at tho cinco of John Mulr & Co.. at No, SI Broadway. An hour later a messenger pur- porting to como from Salomon Bros. & Hutzler appeared at the cashier's cage of John Mulr & Co. and asked for a cbeck for the! securities. In- stead the cashier handed over ths bonds and said an error had been made. Later the bona fldo messen- ger came. Bernard J. McGinn, manager of the claim department of- - the Ameri- can Surety Company, to which the .heftn were reported, said: \The fact that fake messengers possets the information that they do indicates that leaks aro taking place within Stock Exchange houses. To my mino there can be no doubt that there must be an organized intelli- gence service in operation.\ 4 SUSPECTS HELD IN THEFT OF BONDS Employees of Buildings Where Rob- - beries Were Committed Asked to Identify Men.

HlrahSeld. in his letter to Mayor Hy-la- n. said he knew the Mayor was not subject to Impeachment, but that a County Judge could have anybody in- dicted, though he did not think Tlernan sufficiently \brazen\ to Indict the Ma- yor. He referred to Judge Tiernan's past legal services to the traction company, and suggested a law forbidding County Judges in \Richmond to practice fir pri- vate cases. \I don't remember naming- the Mayor to Hire field.\ said Judc Tiernan. \But I meant the Mayor and I stand by Hirshfield's report of the conversation. 1 met the Mayor a week later in the City Hall.

The most Interesting medico-leg- al cose that the courts of New Tork have confronted in a long time has just been Hied in the Supreme Court by William B. Hogan. No. 225 East 108th Street, as guard lanTor his four-year-o- ld daughter. Jeanaette. against the Borden Condensed Milk Com- pany. It is based on the charge that the child was injured before her birth when a bvrse owned by the defend- ant company bit her mother. The amount asked in damages is 110.000. The complaint alleged that the horse walked over a sidewalk at Lexington Avenue arid 109th Street and bit the mother. That was In November. 1915. A few months later the child was born. She has never learned to walk, it Is alleged, and sits most of the time with one leg crossed over the other. She does not speak, but utters sounds i said to resemble the neighing ot a horse. She Is totally blind and al a most completely deaf. In spite of her defects, however, she is described as . of attractive appearance Lawyers are keenly lntereoieu in the case, whifch they say Is unique In several aspects. The Brcntest dltll- - culiy for the complainant, tney agree, will be to prove that the child oukI not have been born just as defective if the horse had not bitten the mother. Another question is whethep a cause of action exists in the injury of an unborn person. It is expected that each side will produce a great array of medical ex- pert witnesses, for there are marked differences of opinion in the medical profession as to the facts of prenatal influence. Counsel for the company ueennea to comment on the case beyond say- ing that their answer was a general denial and that a good defense la prepared.
