ing this statement tho Hanover Trust
company. In which Ponzl was a
director and a shareholder nnd
through which ho had dono a largo
checking business, was closed by
order of Hank Commissioner Joseph
C. Allen.
Commission Allen said that he had
taken action becauso his examiners
had found that tho band had made
loans that are either bad or nro uf
very doubtful value." Ho expressed
tho fear that Uio bank's capital had
been Impaired.
Jlnnk Clnficd.
The executive commltteo of the
Hanover Trust company In a state
ment lato today said tho committee
believed that thero wero fow poor
loans on tho bank's books, and that
thero was no reason to bellevo that
tho bank would not continue to meet
Its obligations and that It had a rash
reservii of threo times tho amount
that tho law requires. William H.
McNary, treasurer of tho bank, said
that Ponzl did not nwo tho bank
a cent, that nny bank In the country
would have been glad of his ac
count and that Ponzl had paid nut
six million dollars through the hank.
Pnnzl's confession followed tho
publication In morning newsnf
of stories of the rareer of "Chai 17,
Ponsl," In Montreal. Confronted
with thtso stories, Ponzl conferred
with his attorneys and then gave to
newspapermen a lengthy statement
In which ho admitted that ho und
"Ponsl" wero tho saino man, and
that ho scrvod 30 months In prison
in Montreal for forgery and that
subsequently ho had served two
years In tho federal prison at Atlanta
for smuggling Italians into this
country.
Shouldered Illaino,
Ho asserted that his sentence for
forgery resulted from his assuming
the blamo for a crime committed
by a banker In Montreal, by whom
ho had been employed and who had
fled to Mexico.
"I am not trying to pose ns a
hero," ho added. As to tho smug
gling Incident, Ponzi declared he did
not smuggle Italians into this coun
try. "Within ten days of my release
(from tho MontreHl prison)," he
Mid, "I was asked to escort five
Italians Into the I'nlted Stated. I
did not smuggle them in. I crossed
tho 'bol der on the train openly and
was placed Immediately under arrest-"
He sild ho had not previously
made known theo Incidents In his
career because ho felt "thu past had
very little bearing on tho present
situation."

"If I made a mistake, I paid for
It," he said. "I had every reason to
