New York. July 6.-Chester B. Run- van. the paying teller of the Windsor Trust Company, who is alleged to have stolen s96.317 from that company, and Mrs. Laura Carter. the woman who be- trayed his hiding place to the police after he had given her 8 part of the stolen funds. were arraigned in Po- lice Court today. Runyans spirit ap- peared to be broken by the disastrous outcome of his stealing and he main- tained the demeanor of a man who knew that he had little to hope for. He had passed a sleepless night In the police station and showed the effects of his worry when subjected to the gaze of curious crowd on his way to police headquarters.
 r On the contrary Mrs. Carter bore her arrest with considerable nonchal- ence. She wasted no hours in vain re- gret last night but slept uneoncernedL ly on her cot in the matron's quar- ters at the police station and under took the Journey down town undis- mayed by the predicament into which her escapade with Runyan had thrown her. She shielded her facs from the photographers on her way as best she could but ehatted with the reporters in lively fashion on the subway train. Runyan, however, had little to say to anybody and appeared to be terribly distressed. ,e
 What had become of $42.000 of the trust company's stolen funds was still a mystery so far as the public was concerned up to the time the two pris- oners were taken to the court
 Runyan had in his possession when arrested $54,410.
 Of the balance he said he lost about $16.ooo in speculation in stock before he disappeared from the office. of the Windsor Trust Company last Monday, that he had given $15,0o0 to Mrs Car ter and that he believed she had taken $10.000 more without his knowledge.
 Mrs. Carter at first stoutly denied that she had any of the trust com pany's funds; admitting that Runyan promptly returned 1t to him at his re- quest. While on her way to court to- day. however, she said she had depos- ited all the money that Runyan gave her in q bank and that 1t would stay there if she could keep 1t there. She declared that she could have obtained possession of all the money Runyan had if she had tried hard enough. Con- cerning her betrayal of Runyan's hid- ing place. she said she had felt sorry for Mrs. Runyan and debated with her self whether to, notify Mrs. Runyan of her husbands whereabouts or to give him up to the police. She adopted the latter plan because she learned that Mrs. Runyan was i'll. Although she said she had no hope of securing the reward for Runyan, she remarked that she could make use of the $7,0o0 of- fered.
 As she, like Runyan, Is under a charge of grand larceny, and the police have yet to recover about $25,000 which Runyan declares she has hid den, there Is little chance of her se- curing the reward
 On arriving down town today Rum van and Mrs. Carter were taken first to police headquarters, where the pho- tographs of them were made for the use of the police department and they were measured and questioned for the police record. Neither of them made any objection and Mrs. Carter went through the process smiling while Runyan was haggard and carewoEn.
 Runyan was arraigned on a charge of grand larceny in having stolen $5,444. Mrs. Carter was charged with receiving stolen property. Both waiv- ed examination and were held for the grand jury. Runyan in $15.000 bail and Mrs. Carter in $10,000 bail. Neither Runyan nor Mrs. Carter were able to give bail and they were taken to prison.
 Just before she was arraigned in court Mrs Carter denied that she had placed any of the trust company's money in the bank to her own account and declared as she did last night, that she received only $5,000 from Runyan and that she promptly returned 1t when he demanded it.
