to have at least a dozen complaints nguinst
Alten ami Gunther for issuing and pass
ing worthless checks on Wtlliamsburgh
tradesmen, mostly saloon keepers.
The prisoners occupied three handsomely
furnished rooms at 7ti Java street, Green
point. Fisher has known Alten for many
years, nnd when, on November 4, Alten
asked him to cash a check for $24.25 Fish
er did It. The check was drawn on Heh
rens & Co., a hanking lirm at lul Pearl
street anil 04 Stone street, this city, and
was certilled. A week later Alten caUeJ
on Fisher ngaln, nnd got another certi
lled check for $'!7.7.'i cashed.
Alten declared that checks were given
to him by Gunther, and that he passed
them in L'ood fait h.
The detectives went to the Java street
house, where they found a small Batchcl
tilled with paper and books. Some of the
paper showed that Alten had been an
agent for several Insurance companies.
A bunk book on the Lackawanna Trust

Alten hud $:!i;g."i0 there to his credit.
