RUNYAN IS GUILTY
Windsor Trust Teller Owns to
 Theft of $o6,OOO.
NEW YORK DELlLAH HELD BY POLICE
Reason Given by Mrs. Laura M. Car ter For Betrayal of Defaulter Was Unique and Thor
 Oughly Selfish.

NEW YORK, July Colchester B. Runyan, the paying teller of the Wind sor Trust company, who absconded with over $96,O00 of that institutions funds, pleaded guilty before Judge | Whitman in the court of general ses- sions to grand larceny in the first de- gree.
 The extreme penalty for this offense is ten years in state prison. The complainant in the case was Henry Ward Ford, vice president of the Windsor Trust company. Runyan was charged specifically with the theft of S54.401. This charge Runyan ad- mitted in his plea.
 Runyan was represented by William Cantwell, who asked Judge Whitman to remand the prisoner back to the Tombs without fixing date for sen- tence for week or so. He said that the prisoner wanted to settle up some affairs before beginning his term in prison.
 Laura NJ. Carter, the woman in whose apartment Runyan was ar rested after she had betrayed him to the police and who was arrested by the police upon suspicion that she had received part of the $96,000 which Runyan stole, was taken before Jus tice Dayton of the supreme court by a keeper from the Tombs prison.
 She was before the court in obedi- ence to writ of habeas corpus sued out by her counsel, Goldfogle, Cohn & Lind. In her petition for the issuance of the writ the Carter woman set forth that she was arrested on July c and had been kept in the Tombs pris- on ever since without any warrant or order of a court of competent jurisdic- ton.
 While waiting for her case to be called Congressman Goldfogle. counsel for the woman, said that her treat ment by the police was an outrage. He said that they searched her fiat with out a warrant, that they broke up her furniture without any authority of law and that they violated her constitu- tioual rights in various other ways. He made a statement that affords one explanation for her action in betray- ing Runyan to the police.
 Suppose" said the congressman, ''that Runyan had shot himself in the flat-and 1t must be remembered that Runyan had a pistol-and she was found there with his dead body and the money or had fed after bis suicide, what would have been the cry of the police then?
 Murder! murderr' he said. answer ing his own question. that is what the police would have said and she would have had great trouble in es- tablishing her innocence. Perhaps she could not have done that. Her posi- ton was a difficult one. and she has been outrageously treated"
 Justice Dayton said he thought that the affidavit against the woman was sufficient to hold her.
