Alderdice was arrested this afternoon on a war- rant charging him with forging the deeds which purported to dispose of fhe property of Mary J. Oliver, the Harlem miser. Alderdice was just leaving his oftice, at No. 304 Broadway, with a satchel in his hand when he was arrested by Detective Flood, of the District-Atiorney’s staff. It was believed. that Alderdice was about to leave the city. i The prisoner was first taken to the Elizabeth street station, and from there to! the Centre Strect Court for arraignment. Assistant District-Attorney Krotel, who has had the Oliver investiga- tion in charge, applied to Magistrate Breen for the warrant. Mr. Krotel asked for the warrant in the belief, based upon a handwrit- ing expert's report, that the signature to various deeds transferring $100,000 “ worth of property to Mary S. Alderdice was forged. When arraigned in court Alderdice, through his counsel, George Simp- gon, of the firm of Levy & Unger, entered a plea of not guilty. Assistant District-Attorney Krotel asked that ball be fixed at $5,000, saying that the offense charged was tantamount to forgery in the first degree.

Surprising developments are looked for. District-Attorney Jerome has ordered a complete report from the Coroner's Physician who examined the body of Mrs, Oliver after death. In case the report should not be satisfac- tory it is likely that the body of Mrs. Oliver, Alderdice, will be exhumed for autopsy purposes. Late this afternoon Assistant District-Attorney Krotel issued a sub- Poena, returnable to-morrow, for Dr. John A. O'Brien, of No. 305 East One Hundred and Sixteenth street, who was Mrs. Oliver's physician. A rumor ‘Was current that Mr. Krotel was not satisfied with the stories of Mrs. Oliver's death and that Dr, O’Brien will be closely gueripnee about it to- morrow.
