The New York Herald gives the following interesting account cf Huntington, the great forger. It exhibits a series of singular opera- tions which, though beginning and ending in rascality, are not without that peculiar ro- | mance so ofven linked with roguery : THE HUNTINGTON FORGERIES How the Frauds were Perpetrated and the Proceeds Squandered—Loose Mode of doing Business in Wall Street—The Bill Shavers tricked by one of themselves—Hizh Life Up Town, at the Fashionable Water- ing Places, and in the Tombs | Since the immense frauda perpetrated by | Charles B. Huntington on brokers in Wall | street have come to light, there is no small share of curtosity in the public mind to learn how itis that he could have been so success- | fal in his rogueries in that place of sharpers | The frauds committed by Rye a couple of years ago, were easily comprehended He was the President of x Railroad Gewpany. and entrusted with the issue of its stock ; and the simplest mind could understand bow, with implicit confidence reposed in Lim, he could overissue stock to almost any amount. But inthe case of Huntington—whose name has | been for the last two weeks before the public —it is difficult to comprehend how he, who was unkuown in financial circles a year or two egs, couid have succeeded in victimizing the note shavers of Wull street to the amount of some half a million cf dollars. The mode by which he did so we will try to explain: The first trace that wecan find of Mr. Hun- tington’s connection with financial matters dates back only so far as 1552, when he and two or three other individuals fell into the lands of the police of this city for the share which they bad in getting up a fraudulent shinplaster concern under the title of the “Anzeostia Bank of Washington, D C.’’— Indictments were found against him and his accomplices on that occasion, but they were never brought to trial, on account—as ap- pears from an endorsement on the bill of some informality or incompleteness in the | proof. We next find him, shortly thereafter, hav- ing a little box of an office in Wail street where be purported to carry on the busines: of a bili broker in a small retail etyle. This | business cu’sists in acting as a sort of agent or go-betweex for brokers on a larger scale — that iz, he wout (go to a broker and find out what he would se./ certain notes for, and then, if he found he could realize any profit by the transaction, he would buy from one and sell | to another. At this time he boarded up town | with bis wife on a modest seale. He agreed | to pay $154 weok for their board, but even | this moderate sum he did not, it is said, find | it convenient to pay. He left cuat boarding | house and weat to the Metropolitan Hotel, where he stayed for some time; but be did not here indulge in any of the extray *ganuces into which he afterwards launched Le subsequently went to the New York Hotel, | where it seems he commenced ty be more li ral in his expenditures. We afterwards ii him oceupying partof a house in Fifteenth street, and recently owning two or three houses in Twenty-second street. Nothing is more strange in connection with Huntington's career than the fact that he was £0 little known in Wall street or commercial circles Our reporter conversed to-day with some of the principal brokers on the street; few of them had dealings with him, and most of them had never heard of him until the time of his arrest. And yet he could raise half a million of dollars among that fratenity on forged notes, wherein the signatures did not even pretend to be imitations . The supposition is that it is only within the last eighteen months that Huntington cum- menced to operate on forged paper It may not be even so long. He had now an office at No. 52 Wall street, and a to carry on the legitimate business of a note broker As most of our readers are in blissful ignorance of the business of note-shaving, we will briefly describe it Commercial firms, even though they may have large capital, are constantly compelled to pay by notes on time instead of cash. The accommodation given by banks is limited ; and when they deciine to make more advances on the notes of a firm, bill brokers are resorted to. These charge more or less discount on the bills, depending upon the credit of the drawer and the length of time they may have to run before they mature The bills on houses in first rate standing (tech- nically known as gilt edged paper) will be discounted at the rate of ten per cent. per annum, while on others, not su well known or trusted, the brokers charge a discount of two or three per cent. per month. It follows, therefure, that in times of ordinary commer- cial prosperity, when bankruptcies are rare, these shavers make quite a hundsome profit by theiroperations. Huntington was engaged in this capital business, The profits os the trade, largo as they must have been, did not satisfy him, or were iosuf- ficient to enable him to gratify bis extrava- gant taste for fine houses, costly furniture, splendid equipages, fazt horses, and dashing women; so he resolved to try his hand on that branch of the profession which has conducted hin to acell inthe Tombs. He went to work systematically, aud used at first a good deal of caution to evade detection. Le was in the habit of going to the effice of a broker in high standing and purchasing from him notes of firms sometimes to the amount of $60,000 or $50,000 in a week ine ¥ ified check looking fellow— a acigar in his mouth, and was perfectly coul and nonchalant in his manner, so that he might very well impoze on one; but there was something about him that I could not an- derstand. [ could not comprehend why he should come and buy our notes, as we did not divide the discuunt with him, and he could make nothing by them. He afterwards let out the secret of it. Huntington would buy these notes, duplicate them, sell the notes again, and use the duplicates as collateral ve- curity in raising money. At first, however, he used only the genuine notes, and as they were always found to be correct he gradually gained the confidence of those with whom be had dealings) When he had thus completely disarmed men of all suspicion, he began to use the duplicate or forged notes. His plan was this—he would go into a note broker's, say he wanted to borrow $40,000 for a month or so, for whieh he would give his own note of hand and certain other bills of such and such dates and amounts as collateral security, and he would leave a memorandum of these bills If the broker wanted to satisfy himself that all was right, he would send to the firms pur- porting obs the drawers, and inquire whether they had out the notesdescribed. They would refer to their books, find that they had issued such notes, and consequently the broker, not doubting that those offered by Huntington were the real ones, would advance the money asked upon them With the money thus raised, liuntington would make speculations, or would take up other bills becoming due, or would use it for his private purposes And thus he went on from week to week acd row month to month. Escaping so often undetected, he began iv relax his exercise of caution Instead of buy ing up genuine notes and duplicating them, he would go into a broker’s. ask to look at bis paper, runhis eye over the amounts, dates and names of drawers, and would ui d~ ee: to duplicate such as he thought best fitted < his purpose. In this, however, he sowetim made a slip, for we find that Mr en broker, with whom he had extensive dea ry detected him on two or three ee : soe ing notes which he discovered to be forgeries. & 10; o Why this gentleman giq not then han over the = into the handsof the lawis a ques- difficull tion which he will have some ity in an- swering to the satsifaction of the public, Another broker, holding a note which he sus pected to be a forgery, went to the firm per- porting to issue it, and though it'was but a clumsy imitation of the uine note, the party, without looking at it, and by mere! referring to the bill book, declared it to be ait right er it any wonder that with such a loose way of doing business frauds would be perpetrated‘ The only wonder is that they are not much more numerous. _ The manner in which Hun‘ ‘8 opera- tions were brought to light was no less curious than the peecations themselves, and — him, after all, to be rather careless clu sy for a successful practitioner. Among a parcel of notes which he gave to Belden & Co., as en » in the usual man- ner, was one of Messrs. Phelps, & Co for over $5,000, which note sg on ite face over due, That fact attracted attertion and on inquiry being made it was pronounced aforgery. And even then H not have been brought to justice, but would have been allowed to go on ad infinitum, were it not for the firmness and determination of Mr. Dodge and his partner, Mr. Stokes. They Dought out officer Bowyer, and obtained his advice az- assistance in the matter; and although efforts word made to shield Hunting- ton from the consequcnces of his acts they proved futile. He was arrested and held to bail in $20 600. The very man oz whom he attempted to pawn the counterfeit (Mr Bel- den) become his surety. pe baz previous to his arrest procured $24,000 in gold, on his own certified check, and this sum be lodged in Belden’s hands as security, to induce him to become hisbail But next day other evidences of forgeries came in, and he was re-arrested iden then procured the cancellation of bis bail, and it is said retains the $24,000 Another curious feature in the transactions is, that although the total amount of already ascertained is $546 119 40, no persons can be found to acknowledge that he bas been. victimized. It is the cpinion of experienced urokers that none of the forged paper was put upon the market, (in fact it was too clumsily imitated for that purpose,) but it is al) in the hands of the banks and brokers with whom he did business. He probably, however, did not raise more than $300,000 on it. We un- derstand that a cashier of one of the banks | Wasinthe babit of making Huntington ad- vances out of the drawer on this forged paper, receiving a large discount for it, and was fo: tanate to escape loss; and that on hearing of Huntington's arrest, he went to the President of the bank, gave in his resignation, told what he had been doing, acknowledged that be had made large profits thereby, and said that he thought it his duty to let them know low easily they might be cheated in this way. d now Huntington isin the Tombs His trial will wake work for the lawyers, and at tracts a good desl of public attention ds an. probably be a nice Regal int whether the lodging these notes as collateral security is tantamount to utte: them. The penalty foreach offence may seven years in the “taic prison, and if convicted on ‘all, he is re quirea ‘ live as old as Parr to serve out bis term In tit meantime he seems to be quite indifferent to his situation. When Officer Bowyer ‘uformed him that he came to arrest him, he coolly walked to the mantelpiece, took up @ match, jit the cigar which he had in his mouth, and walk® out with the officer in apparent unconcern. at‘s cell at the Toombs is richly carpeted and far- nished His wile’s carriage drives down daily, and her care provides him with sumptuous fare. He has his champagne and his as, and don’t seem to let the de; tion of his position weigh upon his spirits. Asan in stance of his extravagance, even now, it is said that after dining a day or two ago, he sent up to Thompson's for fruit, and paid as high as five dollars for five pears. it will Le asked what has become of the proceeds of these extensive forgeries? We bave given an inkling of the extravagance of this man, which sufliciently indicates his char- acter in that respect, and we have no doubt that within the last two years he has been able to squander all the money thit he has raised by the means we have described He owned two houses in Twenty-second street, costing probably some $25,000. These were furnished regardless of expense. In one of them, he resided with his family; in the other, not azblock distant, he maintained in grand style a lady of beauty and accomplish- ments, who was not his wedded wife. He was fond of showy equipages and fine horses, and outshone all his competitors in that line. It was usual to see his lady driving two in hand, and himself driving a similar team, side by side. He kept open house for all bis friends, and gave them the use of his whole establishment le rarely dined at home but generally at some of the fashionable restau. rants, with some fashionable ladies. At the watering places his lady outshone all others in the splendor of her diamonds. It is said that on the very day of his arrest she had #ent to his office, from Niagara or Saratoga, a box containing $30,000 worth of jewelry. Her brother took it in charge, and the officers have not since been able to get atit. We re- ceived a communication the other day stating that he had recently bought at Tiffany & Co's a piece of jewelry at the price of $1800 for presentation toalady. Mr. Tiffany, however, says that this and other similar statements are exaggerated. = With such lavish expenditures as these ex- travagaut tastes and habits imply, it need not be wondered what became of the proceeds of the forgeries. 7 Huntington, like many other people in New York, was determined to live like a prince— no matter who should eventually have to foot the bill. Even now, when the crash that was expected has come, and when he can reason- ably look for no other fate than that of a fel- on, be does not lose his recklessness, his in- difference He euts his fine dinnersand drinks his costly wines in his little cell in the Tombs, with apparently as much gusto a3 when he played the part of grand sezmeur in Twenty- second street; aud even there, the calamity that has befallen the household does not seem to press heavily upon them. There is the same “sound of revelry by night’’ as in the times when he was flourishing in Wall street. But the reaction cannot fail to come atter the giddy excitement of suc = "fe. It is ead ty contemplate the end of such a brief career ot dissipation. The wealth which his wife sup- posed perhaps to be inexhaustible, will not save him from the degradation of a convict’s life. A young man of good address and plea- sing manners, he might have lived a life of usefulness, and honestly became wealthy, ashe desired; but he could not resist the temptation of getting rich in a hurry, and the end will be a miserable existence in Sing Sing prison.
