Rorke, of BANK LOOTER TELLS -aOW FARO SWINDLERS GOT MONEY HE STOLE (Special from., United Press.V 'Boston. March 5. Just to what ex- ;ent George W. Coleman, the $12 a week bookkeeper who looted the Cam bridge City National Bank of approx imately $200,000 fed his "easy money" to a gang of 'faro bank swindlers, is , today being Telated by Coleman to District Attorney Pelletier. -'- Coleman, who is out on $50,000 bail, was summoned before the district at torney today and went into a long ex planation of the allegations that the gang had, got $40,000 of the bank's money from him through a phony plan to break a. New York faro bank. No details of Ooleman's admissions have as yet been made public, and it is not considered probable that they will be ' until final action is taken to run down the crooks. Besides Coleman, it is today expect- - ed that pertain officers of the Cam bridge bank who are also alleged to have been ""bit" by the faro gang, will ' tell District Attorney Pelletier of their ; -experiences. When the full measure -of the gang's operations are known, it - ts said that District Attorney Whit ' man of New York is to take up the ,-ease and-- bring the crooks to Justice. 5 The actual realizing of cash on the "easy marks" who bit on the game is said in every case to have occurred in "New York, and aetionrtor their pursuit and punishment, Boston officials say, will originate in New York, with the evidence taken here as a basis of pros ecution under the new Jercme law. I That it is ' no exaggeration to say that the gang's plunder within, the last ive years was well over a million was today admitted by District Attorney Pelletier. He said: , , "It has been asserted that newspa iper reporters have exaggerated this faro bank swindle, but I can truthfully say the half has not been told. It is almost beyond belief the people who liave been 'bitten and the amount se cured by this gang." And every hour, almost, reports of new victims all over New , York are coming to - light to prove that Mr. Polletier knows whereof he speaks.

Crocker, attorney for'fhe J. Thomas Rhlneiiardt Company, curb brokers, today revealed for the first time the system of "check kiting" whereby Coleman was enabled to loot the Cambridge bank. Simultaneously with the revelation, Frank Von Blar com, manager of the Boston branch of the Rhinehardt Company, who is al leged 'to have been Coleman's dupe, was dismissed .from the service of that company. , That $190,000 of the bank's money passed indirectly through Von B!ar com's hands, was Attorney Crocker's astounding statement. "Coleman's method was this." said Attorney Crocker. "He would come in to see Von Blarcom and give him a check upon the National "City Bank signed with Coleman's name. In re turn the Rhinehardt manager would give the defaulter a check for the tame amount signed by the Rhinehardt Company, by Von Blarcom. "This check would be cashed at once by Colerran on the bank upon which it v as drawn. "The check given Von Blarcom by Coleman would be sent to- the clearing house by the former. Here, when the balances were ' adjusted, credit was given to Rhinehardt Comoany at the expense of the National City Bank. In the meantime Coleman was sitting on his job as bookkeeper at the bank, and incidentally opening the mail. "During the last year and a half over fifty checks, aggregating in all $$190,000, have been thus kited." Although Von Blarcom has been dis missed from the employ of the broker age 'company, it is believed that he was merely a dupe of the bank clerk. . BOYLAND-JEROY Walter A.

CITY COURT HAS BUSY SESSION WITH MURDEROUS AFFRAYS Byrne ' Identifies One of Greeks As His Assailant Growing Tendency To wards Leniency for Pris oners As Police Disclose Circumstances - All Three Greeks Released on Bail Other Cutting and Shooting Matches. Brought before William Byrne in his cot in St. Vincent's hospital, George Dinon, one of the trio of Greeks ar rested following the stabbing affray in the rear of Smith's theatre Sunday ev ening, was picked-out of a half dozen men as the wielder of the weapon that almost pierced Byrne's heart. Di non and- John Poulous were taken from Police headquarters to the hospital in the patrolwagon while the city court was in session. Captain Arnold lined the two men-and several, others in a row, and the. victim picked out Dinon as the man Who had stabbed him. With the investigations of the police into the circumstances preceding the affray there has been a tendency to minimize the offence of which the Greeks are accused. It is claimed that they were molested repeatedly- by the young men f the South End, and the stabbing of Byrne resulted from, his seeking trouble in the interests of his friends. He was in a pool room when news was brought in that Greeks were looking for trouble. A stalwart youth with the reputation of being able to handle. himself well, he was looked up on as the leader, and he set out and. according, to the police,' encountering Dinon demanded to know who was looking for trouble, at the same time sizing him up. Dinon is said to have made a confes sion that he stabbed young Byrne, while at first the police believed his comrade, Poulous, was the guilty man. In the city court today after the iden tification, Dinon was held in bail of $500, Poulous in bail of $25 and Nich olas Poppas, a third member of the party, in bail of $15. The charges of breach, of the peace are lodged against all three, but that of assault With in tent to kill will be substituted in the case of Dinon when the trial is held next Saturday'. By that time it is ex pected that Byrne will be able to leave the hospital. Poppas and Poulous have furnished bail and Dinon expects a bondsman before nightfall. Many local Greeks are in sympathy. In the city .court today John Rawec of 197 Church street was held in bail of $1,000 for-iiaHa-the Superior court for slashing Raymond Dombrowskie in Church street Washington's Birthday evening. He went to jail in default of bail. The victim was slashed from the outer angle of the left eye through the cheek, and across the nose. Still another .murderous affray was recalled when Molestino -Gelormina, Paul -Prezioso, Vincenzo LaConti and Joseph Bellovitta, held in bail ranging from $50 to $200 on breach of "the peace charges, were discharged from custody this morning. They were members of the party of gamblers in Angelo Sta volo's saloon when Frank Fiorintino shot Christiano, for which he was sen tenced to from two to four years in prison in the Superior court. The four men had been held as witnesses, but secured their liberty under bonds. BORAH BILL PASSES His Amendment to Postal Savings Bank Measure Carried In Senate 49 to 11 (Special from United Press.)

GIRLS; GET BUSY REAL LIVE PRINCE IS COMING HERE Due to Hit This Burg About Noon Tomorrow By M. Mellen's Line. ' And He Is Very Handsome Yes Indeed He Is To Organize A Society In This City. Say, girls. A real prince is cqming to town. ' He is scheduled to arrive at 12:30 o'clock, tomorrow afternoon, by- one of the regular trains of the New Haven Itailroad, out of New York. And he is such a handsome man; my, girls! He looks more like a Greek God, than he does like a Greek prince! He has a beautiful name, too. Come closer. Stop, your shoving Jane. Wait a.- bit, Clarice. Now are we all ready? Weli; then, listen! His name is "H. I. H. The Prince Constantinos Palaeo logus" and he wears a frock coat that comes down to his kness, one of the kind with those broad lapels, with the nice shiny satin showing, and he parts his beautiful black hair in the mid dle, wears a picadily collar with a black bow tie, and carries the most elegant pair of gloves you ever saw, in his right hand. Gee, girls, ain't it lovely. The mission of H. I. H. The Prince Constantinos Palaeologos is to organize a Greek society in Bridgeport. Not a Greek Letter society like those in the Bridgeport High school, but one com posed of real Greeks, the descendants of the Greeks that Homer wrote about and the Persians under old Boss Xerxes couldn't lick. Along with the beautiful picture of His Imeprial Highness that, girls, is what H. I. H. stands for is another splendid picture of the coat-of-arms of the Byzantium Imperial House, "Pal aeologos", which coat of arms can scarcely be described by a plain news paper man little versed in the intri cacies of imperial heraldry. But it does certainly make a beautiful post card. Postively no space will be reserved at the railroad station when the prince arrives tomorrow. So, girls, get your places early.

INSPECTOR FINDS MERCHANTS SHORT IN WEIGHT Were a Trifle Below the Standard In Sale of Potatoes Says Bridgeport- Compares "Well With Other Cities He Has Visited He Will Recommend Substitute for Present Ordinances. F. S. Holbrook, one of the two in spectors of the bureau of standards of the department of commerce and labor has promised to forward to Howard P. Bayette and John Lynch, the local sealers of deights and meas ures, the outline of an ardinance he believes will be better adapted to, the needs of v the city than the present regulations. On the occasion of a visit to chi; city a few days ago Inspector Hol brook made a tour of a ' number of the larger stores, and he found that short weight prevailed in sever-1 in stances. This was particularly the case in the sale of potatoes by weight. . Tne stores were selling 14 pounds, and 14 pounds and" two ounces, instead of . the standard weight "of 15 pounds per peck. The merchants were not wittingly et fault, and when their attention was drawn to the shortcoming, they promised to make immediate changes. Holbrook; subject Howard P.

He found Bayette's testing equipment made quate, he said, and after going jver the ordinances he said they were something on the order of a sie . e Asked as to the conditions of selling as compared to other cities, Holbrook said Bridgeport made a good show ing. Holbrook visited Bridgeport, New Haven, Waterbury and Hartford. I'M LUCKY MAN, SAYSjJAYWOR MAN - CONVICTED OF HOMICIDE FOR KILL ING OF MULLEN GLAD HE DID NOT GET A LIFE SENTENCE, OR THE GALLOWS 7 "I'm" a lucky man," said Fred Ray- nor shortly after midnight, last even ing, as he was being led to the North avenue Jail, "the most?I can get is 15 years, and I might have gone up for life, or to the gallows." All aroundftown today, and In the County Court house, where the clerks and officials are quite familiar -with criminal law, a victory for the de fense is conceded. Most of those who know had expected to see a verdict of second degree murder. That both of the -prisoners were covered with horse shoes is beyond doubt, as. it is stated on fact that the jury at one time stood 11 for murder jn the second degree, but one man held out, and that man, by slow pro cess of moral suasion, won over the contending forces,, and brought a chance to the two accused to enjoy free life again, someday. . EXAMINATION OF ROSENFELD ENDS Brilliant Playwright. Isot Seeking to Take "Poor Debtor's Oath,, but Owner of Rent Judgment 'Tries to Find Property to At tach. The examination of the noted playwright,- Sidney Rosenfeld, to ascertain the amount of his property, was con-, eluded yesterday afternoon, and Judge Scott reserved his decision. The examination- of the brilliant au thor was not in proceedings in which he is an applicant for the poor debt or's oath, but upon a motion to ascer tain if he owns any property suscep tible to attachment to meet a judgment for rent obtained against him by tha plaintiffs. Apparently Mr. Rosenfeld has little left except his genius and his gift for repartee, neither of which can be taken by legal process. His new play "The Divorce Colony", may bring in something, but at present the outlook is not hopeful for the own ers of the judgment. Mr. Rosenfeld is represented by Attorney J. B.
