T?.?As the result of investigations made by Assistant District Attorney Byrne, C. \V. Morgan, trading a: C. \V. Morgan's bookkeeper, Michael Ilart, were today both arrested on the charge of conspiracy and grand larceny. The men were locked up in police headquarters. The detective confiscated all the books and naners in the of tico of Morgan and in the ollices of L. E. Van Riper and John R McK.cn/ie, discretionary brokers. Van Riper ami McKen/io liad left their offices. It was found that the written matter in the hooks of Van Riper and McKonzie It i 1 !>oo:t torn out, leading tlm police to suppose that they had been informed of their coming. The attention of Assistant District Attorney Byrne was directed to the matter through his work in the Sliera ease, the defendant having been arrested for, it is said, securing a sum of money from Gen. Daniel E. Sickles, three weeks ago, which was to lie invested in stocks. Shera's bookkeeper, it is alleged, intimated that such methods wore in vogue with other brokers in Wall street. A thorough investigation was made tind it was found that McKonzie A Van Rioer did an ex tensive business throughout the United States unci Canada. They fn?iii out as nir.'.iy as !ofters a week, some of which told how easily money was made in Wall street, and others explaining certain details, the money to be sent to Morgan & Co., or C. B. Lawrence, Jr. Van Riper it McKenzie, it is allged advised each other of their success with the prospective customer and they in turn advised Morgan. If a man sent inonev to Morgan he would advise the brokers. Morgan had an office at Thirty-third street and Broadway, and the police say he had various offices throughout the country. The complainant against the persons is Wm. Bailv, a mill owner of Matteawan, N. J. The police say they have 30 others who will testify against the men, and one of the 30 admits having lost $20,000 through deals. When the police entered Morgan's office to arrest him they found a man whose name Capt. Kct'lu-ky refused to divulge at this time, inquiring as to what had become of his money. The man went with the detective to police hoadqiiai tors, where he said he had placed $500 with the brokers and had made $234 last month. He had left, the $500 with the brokers to be traded with and on Tuesdav after noon ww told that it had boon used to purchase sugar at 134, which was the highest figure. When he impured as to the profits tin' man claims he was informed that sugar 'went down' and his money was wiped out. Assistant District Attorney Brvne says that the strongest point against the brokers is the fact that in their advices sent to men who sent money to Morgan some were told conditions , wore favorable and that others were told the same day that conditions were unfavorable on the same stock. Mr. Byrne says that while Morgan, who is a member of the Consolidated ( Stock exchange, undoubtedly made some transactions which are in the records, be made other transactions which counterbalanced the ones be made for his customers.
