REAL ESTATE PIRACY. A CASE OY INTEREST TO PROPERTY OWNERS MEFORX 4 WILLIAMSDULG JUSTICE—A CLEVER 2OGUK, A case came up before Justice Eliott, of Williams burg, yesterday, which will attract general attention tm real estate circles when tried, as showing the case ‘with which swindles can be accomplished tn real ea tate transactions, Family differences are at the bot- tom of the case and will no doubt add to the public interest in the matter, One Fred. A. Conkling or Conklin, arrested on a ebarge of tuserting in au assignment of mortguge the ‘words “I guarantee the above umount to said Conk- ling,”? was arraigned, and after an investigation was committed to uwait the action of the Grand Jury, the evidence tending to convict him of forgery and of ob- taining $3,000 from tue complainant under faise pre- fences, ‘The fall history of the case is as follows:—Frederick Augustus Conkling, a long time resident of Norwich, Coun., and lieutenavt colonel of the Eighth Counec- ticut National Guard, whose headquarters are in that | town, thought to better his fortune in Now York, Ho therefore came here with some little means and estab- lished a real estate office in Nassau street, the business Deing conducted under the name of Conkling & Uo., & sou of Mr. William H. Foulks, of Groenpoit, being hired as clerk. After some time the offce was ro- moved to Third avenue, aud there Conkling bud Fotlks, Jr., arrested on a charge of larceny, At the examination of tho charges against the young man it ‘was shown by the testimony that there was a peculiar Manner of transacting business ingbe oitice, and in consequence of Foulks’ discovering it ne was given permission to «raw what money he desired, but help- ing himselt too freely Conkling had him arrested, Soou after a nolle prosequi was eatered by the District Attorney and no further steps were liken against young Fouiks. The matter opened the eyes oi the oulks family, however, aud subsequent developments ‘led to the arrest tor iorgery. SHARP PRACTICE, Shortly after the real estate office had been moved up third avenue the Rey, Lawrence P. Cummings, of No. 320 Bust Filty-second street, made his uc Qguaintance und had some business trunsuctiops with him, Conkling held a house im this city, and exchanged it for mortgages made by one ‘John Melntyre on houses and lots im Buyonne, XN. J. to Cummings, ‘Ihe trausaction was 4 fuir one, and made a short time belore Mr, Cummings’ departure lor | uropeon a pleasure trip, Wnen tho assignment was made Cummings suid he woud gurantee that the in- Verest and principal would be paid, but declined to give @avritten guarantes or to imsert it in, the assignment, The papers 1m the transaction were executed sud duly recorded 1p Hudson county, and then there was be writ- ten guarantee in the document. Atter nis return from Europe Conkling iniormed Cumrnings that Melutyre could not pay the interest, he being at that time in jail for some criminal offence. By Cummings’ aavico he again saw Melutyre, who pleaded tnavility to do apyting in consequence of his incarcerauon, but proposed to dced the property tree apd clear to’ Commuings to bulapce his indebteaness, ‘This was quickly accepted by Conkling, who drew up all the papers, und, aga nowry, took Mclutyre’s ac- Kuowledgement. He then calied on Cummings und re- ported Wiiat had been done, but said, uiso, that be wd ivund back interest and back taxes au to muke a deticieney on the previous contract of 3 or $700. The negotiations im settlement resul: the payment of $600 and ihe conveying of the prop- erty to Conkling by Cummings, thus cancelling the mortyage aud the assignment. Tue next step of Conkling shows his ustuteness He had veen paying uticntions to a neice of Mr, Witom HH. Foulks, the ship builder, of Greenpoint, and Foulks’ sou was in lis ewpivy. He, therelure, went to Foulks to sell Cummings’ assign- ment, ut the tume of ollering calling particular utten- tion to the guarugtee us quoted above, and which, as Btuted, does uot uppear on the records of Hudson county. Mr. Fouiks knew of Mr, Curmmings and of his Telability, and on the strength of tue guarantee and Conkting’S representations paid nim $3,000 for the Worthless assiguinent. When he found thut there w. default im payment of interest be communicated with Conkling, who, alter so: little de. paid at. Then Came the charge of larceny agaiost Foulxs’ son and bis release on nolle prosequi afver, 1t is rumored, $500 had been paid Conkling wot to prosecute, Conkliug’s taar- Tiage to the niece iollowed, aud then. as be thought he had averted by relationship any further payment ot interest, another default wok place. Tue DISCOVERY. On this occasion Mr. Cummings was communicated With, and, answering in person, he atonce pronounced the paper a forgery, as the assignment was cancelled by wis couveying all the property involved in the mortgage. Close exainination revealed, however, shat, in the original document, the words above stated, “L guarantee the above umount to said Conkling,” were futerpoluted above the sixnature and seal, Proceedings ‘were at once taken ana a Warrant issued, but the pre- Muture publication of the fact warued Conkling, and for tight months he could not be found by the ollivers in tearch ol him, H we up the real estate business, und, as the Harlem Feed Company, opened u store for’ the sale of hay, straw’ and feed at tne corner of Ninety-third street and Third avenue, He was met in’ Second avenuc by Oflicer Brown on December 29, however, and urrested, since which time he bas lain in Raymond Street Jai in di fault of $2,500 bunds, the boudsinan to justily in twice the amount in Kings county real estate, Yesterday, atier the testimony tor the prosecution had all been piven, no ovidence Was ollured by the délence, so Conkling Was conmnitted without bail to await the ac- toa of the Grand Jury. OFUER OPERATIONS. In connection with the cause itis said that Conkling passed some mouths in Ludlow Street Juil tor another Similar transaction, Cummings being the complainant, fd (hat after his release ke attempted to obuin cu trol of the real estate of Terence McGuiggan, ® wealthy Willamsbur; But” the fatter having beard of his previous incarceration declined to allow him the requested inspection of his deeds, voads and mortgages, Conkling having acarly copvineed lim that this wus necessary to balance bis Vooks. This matter wus referred to by counsel for the peopio in ths examination, who regretted that the de. fendant did not coon the stand, and thus, by cross- eXamimation, prove himself uothing bat u “real estate pirate.” Of course 1 is impossible to anueipate the action of the Grund Jury, but the case has attracted the uttention of District’ Auorgey Britton 10 conse- quence of the pomts in the iaws of conveyancing volved, apd it will be tried with great care as @ precedent.

J. Gates & Co., of which the former was a member, was enabled to (rauduleatly pro- cure funds of the bank to the amount of $10,000, This arrest leads to the development of various circum. stances pertaining to the robbery of the Bank of ?e- tersburg by and the tight of Samuel HY.
