MAKING A RIGID INQUIRY.
Missing Child Last Seen When In
Custody of Belle Moore, Mulatto
Woman Now Under Arrest.
Was to Have Been Sold.
New York, May a. That an eleven-year-old
girl who was bargained for
by the women agents of the Roekefel
lur white slave grand jury has beets
brutally murdered and her little body
hidden somewhere, if not destroyed
completely, is the belief of Assistant
District Attorney James 15. Iteynolds,
who Is in charge of the present Inves
tigation, which has resulted in the ar-
rest and Indictment of two men and a
woman on the charge of trallickltig In
voung girls. I
Who this child Is, who her parents
are or where she came from Is as
much a mystery as is her present
whereabouts. When last heard of she
was said to be In the custody of Belle
Moore, the mulatto woman who is now
in the Tombs. The Moore woman will
not say a word about the child.
The price paid In the New York
"white slave" market for young girls
was made public after the special
grand Jury of which John P. Rockcfel
ler, Jr., Is foreman had returned In
dictments against Bello Moore, Alec
Anderson, a negro, and Harry Levin
son charging them with the sale of
four girls. It appeared that George A.
Miller, a former government agent,
who worked for the congress commit
tee In 1007 in the Investigation of im
migration abuses and who is one of
the secret agents employed by the dis
trict attorney in the present Investiga
tion, paid $40 for Ida Grecnberg and
Gussle Ehrllch, whom he procured
from Harry Levlnson, and $120 for
Alice Hilton and Bello Woods, two
girls said to be under eighteen, whom
be purchased from Belle Moore. Alec
Anderson Is said to have had part in 1
the second transaction. :

KATZ tJITEO.
Former Brewery President
to Be Sentenced Today.
STOLE STOCK FROM HEINZE.
Maximum Penalty For Offense, Grand
Larceny, Ten Years In State Pris
on Accomplices Turned State's
Evidence and May Escape.
New York, May 3. Charles Katz,
formerly president of a Brooklyn brew
ing company, will be sentenced today.
He was convicted last night before
Supreme Court Justice Marcus .of
grand larceny In the flrtst degree. The
maximum penalty is ten years in state
prison.
Katz was tried for the theft of Ohio
and Davis-Daly copper stock, worth
110,000, belonging to F. Augustus
Heluze. The case has become better
known as the Helnze-Coppcr-Wind-sor
Trust company swindle. Donald
Porsch, a stock broker, who was re
cently trivd for the same crime, will
be placed on trial ngain. His first Jury
disagreed. Walter Clark, one of the
alleged conspirators, was tho principal
state witness.
Katz's trial began a week ago yes
terday. He was hopeful that at least
the Jury would disagree.
The Jury retired at 4:53 p. in. yester
day. At 10:17 p. m. they brought In
their verdict. When It was announced
by the foreman Katz almost collapsed.
Mr. Mclntyre had the jury polled.
In the early part of August of last
year It became known that Helnza
needed cosh. Katz had been dealing
In curb stocks. He was acquainted
with Donald Persch, a curb broker;
Walter L. Clark, also a broker, who
had served a term in the Elmlra re
formatory for forgery; John F. Sher
wood, who was employed with Field &
Co., stock brokers, and a young clerk
connected with the Windsor Trust
company. The scheme concocted and
carried out was this: One of the con
spirators went to Helnze nnd told'hlm
that a loan of $30,000 could be got
from the Windsor Trust company It
Helnze did not appear directly In the
transaction. Helnze suggested that his
broker, Matthew M. Joyce, act as own
er of the collateral to be put up.
As a matter of fact, no money was
put up by the trust company. It acting
as what Mr. Mclntyre called In court
the "turning point." Joyce was In
duced to take copper stock of Davis
Daly and Ohio companies to the trust
company. Its value was tlen $110,000.
Field A: Co., advanced ?30,000. This
was given to Joyce, who gave It to Mr.
Helnze, with the usual commissions
deducted.
It had been understood that tho stock
would remain with the Windsor Trust
company, but the very next day Field
& C., through Sherwood, advanced
$50,000 cash with which the stock was
taken up and sold In the street. When
Helnze and his broker complained to
the Windsor Trust company they
learned for the first time that the cor
poration had not put up a penny of the
$50,000.
The conspirators, having sold tho
stock nnd paid the $50,000 they bad
borrowed from Field & Co., divided
about $4S.OOO.
Whether Clark and Sherwood, who
turned state's evidence, will ever bo
tried remains to be seen. L. J, Field
was indicted recently for his connec
tion with the transaction. He is to be
placed on trial.

of Two Sections.
Washington, May 3. The sltuution
