Henry
A. Leonard Confesses
Bond Robbery and Gives
Strange Motive.
RETURNS ALL HIS PLUNDER
Young Wall-Street Clerk Tells As
tonishing Story of How Study
of Crime Led Him to -Its
Commission
tional Bank- Then he said 'ho -went to
Wall street and hailed a passing boy
and asked him if he knew tvherethe
National City Bank was. The boy.sald
he did not.
Leonard said he told hixn: 'Take
this check to No. 52 Wall street .and
hand it to the loan clerk."
Leonard then stood opposite the Custom-
House and saw the boy take the package
and come out with the securities.
Leonard said he took the securities to his
house and -with no delay put them
In a wrapper, affixed the necessary .stamp
and took it to a mailbox in the neigh
borhood of West Ninety-second street, and
mailed them to Dyer Pearl. There
ere. however, only 5300.000 worth of se
curities In the package which, was received
safely the next day by Mr. Pearl. TJiere
was $39,000 worth of securities missing.
and Leonard explained that by saying to
have Inclosed them all in a package by
mail would have made the package too
bulky, and he therefore kept them out,
and mailed only $300,000 worth.
In this connection, it was noted by the
police that only about 550.000 worth of
the securities was negotiable.
It was reported today that Leonard was
engaged to Miss Lulu Schrader, daughter
of Park Commissioner Schrader of the
Bronx Borough. Mr. Schrader said that
Leonard had called 'at his home frequent
ly, but that there was no engagement be
tween the young people, so far as he
knew. He declared that he believed Lon
ard was honest, and he would aid him in
any way he could.
NEW YORK, Oct 2. By the confes
sion of Henry A. Leonard, a young clerk
in the employ of Halle & Stleglitz, brok
ers at 30 Broad street, the mystery of the
robbery on Wednesday last of $359,000
worth of securities from the National
City Bank was cleared up today. Leonard,
who lives with his parents at 556 East
136th street, was arrested yesterday and
kept In close confinement while the de
tectives continued their search for the
missing securities, every dollar of which
was recovered today.
The prisoner, who is only 24 years old
and who has previously borne the reputa
tion of an industrious and thoroughly re
liable clerk, made the astounding state
ment in his confession that he had
planned and carried out his scheme of
forgery not from a criminal motive, but
solely to show by what a nimple device
the elaborate safeguards of New York
banks could be set at naught. That this
statement is in a measure correct is shown
by the facts In the case and is the be
lief of the young man's employers by
whom he was highly esteemed.
Mailed Securities to Owner.
Soon after the theft Leonard mailed a
nackace containing 5300.000 in securities
to the residence of Dyer Pearl, senior
member of the firm of Pearl & Co., by
whom they were owned. The package
was received by Mr. Pearl yesterday. To
day Leonard's father turned over to the
police the remaining $59,000 in stocks and
bonds, which, he said, had been found
in a wardrobe In his house, where his
son had said after his. arrest he had se
creted them.
Leonard was held in the Tombs Police
Court in $50,000 bail for further examina
lion. On leaving the courtroom on his
way to prison, he said In response to a
question:
"I did it on a bet."
The culprit has for several years been
the transfer clerk for Halle & StclgUtz.
His position was one of responsibility and
trust. His engagement to a young woman
well known in society of this city was
recently announced, and he was soon to
have been married.
After he had completed and signed his
confession, he said that-4intll the moment.
of his arrest he did not deem It possible
he could be detected.
Show Ease of Stealing.
The ambitions of the vounc man have
been great. They led hfm to devote the
greater part of his time not given to bust
ness to the study of law, and he would In
a short time have been graduated from
the Columbia Law School. He told Cap
tain McCauley yesterday that his crime
first found germination in his mind when
he began to study how to make it lmpos
slble for just such a theft to be commit
ted. He was present" when Pearl &
Co. hypothecated the securities upon
which they obtained a loan of $300,000. He
knew that the loan was at the rate of In
terest of four and. one-half per cent.
Right then he determined to take advan
tage of his knowledge of the banking
routine and obtain possession of the stock
shares and the bonds which had been
used as collateral. After having seen the
transaction completed he went to the
Hanover National Bank, where from
desk he picked up a pad of ordinary blank
checks.
Instead of using a stamp for the purpose
of numbering the forged check he used
an ordinary -pen and red ink.
Betrayed by Ruubcr-Stamp.
It was not any of his crude methods.
however, that brought about the arrest
of the young forger. Ke knew that no
theck would be accepted by the teller of
tue National City Bank unless it were
properly certified. Accordingly he went
to an obscure stampmaker, from whom
he obtained a die such as is used by the
banks in preparing for the certification
of checks. It was this die which led to
his arrest.
After all other clues had been exhausted
the detectives made a search of the city
visiting every stampmaker in each of the
several boroughs. It thus came about that
the description of the forger was ob
tained. That description was taken to
Wall street and an attempt was made to
fit it to some one there employed. The
right clue was discovered and the man
who made the stamp was taken to Wall
street and identified his customer.
When the youmr forger save the order
for the certification stamp "he directed
that it should be sent to him In care of
one of the local branches of the Young
Men's Christian Association. The clerk
who delivered the stamp to him made the
identification complete. The arrest fol
lowed.
Confesses He Was Pool.
After he questioned his prisoner for
some time Captain McCauley had almost
concluded that it would be Impossible to
persuade him to make any confession,
when suddenly the entire attitude of the
young man changed.
"It Is true. Captain," he said, "you hav
me right. I am the man. I got the se
curities from the National City Bank.
Is one or them has been disposed of.
will return them all. I am glad that
have been captured. I have been a fool
He then made a complete statement.
which was taken down In writing and
which he signed. To -Captain McCauley
he said it had not been his desire at any
time to commit a crime, but he had been
Impelled to show the fallacy of the pres
ent surface methods of banking.
His Story of the Theft
Leonard told the police today that
he conceived the Idea of the theft som
three or four months ago, and had
been planning during that time to ex
ecute It and show how easy such
scheme could be practiced on the
banks of New York. On the 26th of
September, he said, he found four
blank checks on the Hanover National
Bank. That was in the forenoon.
Later in the same day he said he was
in the corridor of the National City
Bank, and among the men waiting in
line he saw a man holding in his hand
an envelope marked $300,000, 4 per
cent on the envelope. He said he
heard the loan clerk tell the messen
ger that the Interest -was 4 not 4U
per cent. Then he said the messenger
departed.
Leonard then had his cue, and went
to the Bowery, and there .ordered a
rubber certification stamp, but before
doing so he cut- out the certification
of an old check, from whioh the stamp
was to be copied. When he secured
the stamp he filled out the. body of
the check drawn on the Hanover Na-

HILL ATTACKS THE JUDGE
Roasted for Accusing Gray of Par
tlality in Patrick Case.
ALBANY, N. Y., Oct. 2. The case of
Albert T. Patrick, who since March 26,
1202, has been under conviction for the
murder of the aged millionaire, William
Marsh Rice, in 'New York City, In 1900.
came again before the Court of Appeals
today in an aspect as remarkable as any
of the previous phases of this case, which
throughout has been one of the most ex
traordinary In the criminal history of this
state.
Patrick's counsel, ex-United States Sen
ator David B. Hill, presented a brief in
support of his motion for a reargument
of the case, which was decided against
Patrick by the court last June by a vote
of 4 to 2. In the course of this brief he
nolnts out that a son of Judge John Clay
ton Gray, one of the Judges of the Court
of Appeals and one of those who voted
against the reversal of Patrick's convic
tion, was an Assistant District Attorney
of New York County and participated In
the prosecution of Patrick. On account
of this relation. Mr. Hill argues that
Gray should not have sat In tho case.
and calls attention to the fact that with
out Gray's vote the court would have
stood evenly divided. i
The statute provides that no Jndge
shall sit in a case in which he is in
terested." Mr. Hill argued that the pres
ent circumstances came at least within
the spirit of the law, and that in a mat
ter of life and death the point was an
Important one.
The opposition brief or District Attorney
Jerome, drawn, it is said, by the late
Justice Judson S. Landon a short time
before his death and filed by Assistant
District Attorney Howard Ganc, char
acterizes Senator Hill's comment upon
Judge Gray's participation in the Judg
ment of the court as being such as "no
degree of eminence in counsel could ren
der respectable?'
"The suggestion that Judge Gray vio
lated the proprieties in taking part in the
case is as contemptible as It is impu
dent," the District Attorney's brief says,
GOOD IDEALS THE THING
President Hadley Distinguishes Be
tween Kinds of Success.
MAKE HIM TESTIFY
Purpose of the New Charges
Against Rosenfeld.
'OLICY-HOLDERS WANT HIM
They Ask to Have Manager of "West
ern Life Indemnity Declared
Bankrupt Forbidden to
Move Assets.
NEW HAVEN, Conn., Oct. 2. Dr. Ar
thur Hadley, president of Yale University,
in his address at the first Sunday divine
service of the academic year, yesterday
warned students against purposes that
lead to "fraudulent ideals, bad politics
and un-Chrlstian civilization." He said:
"If a man's purposes and ideals are
such that he is seeking to attain them
for himself at the expense of his fellow
men, they are pagan ideals. If his Ideals
are such that each step toward their
realization means thev advancement of
those about him, his purposes are Chris
tian. Let us look at its application In
various fields. What is the pagan ideal
of sport? To win, whether you play fair
or not. What is the Christian ideal? To
play the game fairly for all that it Is
worth, and win if you can.
"If wo hold the former ideal, every game
that we play is a training for fraudulent
business, bad politics and un-Chrlstian
civilization.
"The man who fails. If he can but
keep from tiro discouragement of failure,
sometimes learns more from the lesson it
teaches than the man who succeeds; for
the man who falls and rises above his
failure is free -from what is perhaps the
most dangerous temptation of American
business life at the present day the dan
ger of measuring the value of a man's
purposes by the immediate and tangible
results achieved."
CHICAGO. Oct 2. Individual bank
ruptcy proceedings were begun today
against E. L Rosenfeld, manager of the
Western Life Indemnity Company, which
Is already the subject of much Investiga
tion on the part of the several policy
holders, and. If the new move meets with
success, Rosenfeld will be compelled to
testify concerning his interests in the
company.
Tho involuntary bankruptcy petition
against Rosenfeld individually was filed in
the United States District Court by S. O.
Levinson, attorney for the complainants.
while Judge Kohlsatt, in the United States
Circuit Court, was hearing arguments by
Isaac Mayer, defending Rosenfeld. Gen
eral Moulton and the Insurance company
against the petition for an accounting, tne
appointment of a receiver for the insur
ance company, and the reference of the
entire difficulty to a Master in Chancery.
A restraining order was issued by Judge
Bethea, of the United States District
Court, enjoining Rosenfeld from moving
any of his assets, Including "his alleged
contract with the defendant company,
from the jurisdiction of the court- The
move was a complete surprise to the of
ficials of the Insurance company, but was
not the only one, as another bill was
filed asking for an injunction restraining
tho officials of the company from using
any of the reserve funds of the company
at the proposed meeting tomorrow to pas'
the directors and other officials of the
company for their work in reinsuring the
company.
May Make Rosenfeld Tell.
Tomorrow an attempt will be made to
have the petition filed today against
Rosenfeld Individually referred to a bank
ruptcy referee, and. If this motion Is
granted. Rosenfeld can be compelled to
take the witness-stand and testify con
cernlng the assets he has in his posses
sion.
It is charged In the bankruptcy petition
that Rosenfeld owes more than $32,001 in
judgments, held by Harriet Russell
Dewey, of Brady's Bend, Pa.; Elisabeth
Bock, of Brunswick, Germany, and Kate
Clark, of Washington, D. C. The petition
is based on an alleged act of bankruptcy
which Rosenfeld Is said to have commit
ted when. In September of this year, he
transferred a large portion of his assets
to William H. Gray, former manager of
the Western Life Indemnity Company,
thus preferring Gray over other creditors.
The petition alleges that Rosenreia nas
an interest in the Safety Banking &. Trust
Company, of Philadelphia; that he has
contracts with the Security uie a Annu
lty Company and the Western Life In
dcmnlty: that he has an interest in the
Mount Vernon Bank, of Boston, and that
he has further secret Interests In the
Everett Hotel or apartment-house. In

Traffics In Assets for Himself.
Rosenfeld was described as a "trafficker
for his own personal profit and in utter
disregard of the rights of policy-hold
ers." in an Intervening petition pre
sented before Judge Kohlsaat, in the
Federal Court today. Rosenfeld Is
charged with making 530.000 by -his pur
chase of a contract as general manager
and the assets of the company are set
forth as vastly smaller than its liabilities
The Security Life & Annuity Company,
with which it Is proposed to merge the
Western Life Indemnity, is declared to
be a 'small concern which has not sum
clent strength and financial ability to
perform the policy contracts of tne in
demnity Company."
The Intervening petition "was drawn
in behalf of Mrs. Ida Stratton, widow
of James Stratton, of New Orleans, who,
it is alleged, holds an unpaid death
certificate for 5400D against the Indem
nity Company.
The assets of the company were set
down on the first of the year as J4S8,
000, and are said to have dwindled un
der Rosenfeld's management until they
arc now but $313,000.
The bill asserts there are thousands
of outstanding' policies amounting in
the aggregate to $13,000,000. It sub
mits that the assets of the company aro
nowhere near sufficient to pay the
liabilities.
"The proposed merger," says the bill,
"would mean the transfer of the mem
bers and assets of the Western Indem
nity Life to Rosenfeld."
Reference is made in the "bill to Ro
senfeld's connection with the Western
Life, and he is alleged to have mis
appropriated $24,439 of its assets.
Examiner's Report Favorable.
State Insurance Examiner Pfouts has
made his report on the condition of the
Western Life Indemnity Company at the
close of business on August 3L The gross
assets he found to be $374,944; total lia
bilities and deductions, $151,463; balance to
protect contracts, $223, 4 M.
Examination of the assets, he adds,
show that they are of the best character
possible, and that the collateral loans are
amply secured. The record of the com
pany shows that losses have been paid
promptly- The mortuary fund Is used
for paying death and disability claims ex
clusively. Slnee the organization of the
company, the payments for claims have
exceeded the portion of assessments cred
ited to this fund $375,923. Of this overpay
ment. $20,147 has been paid since January
1, 1905.
