l New Rochelle, N. Y., Oct. 1.--Posing here as a physician and chemist, moving in the best circles and footing the houses in which he and his wife had been, welcome guests, "Dr." sam uel Bolin, who was arrested on charge of attempted burglary, it de- veloped, was the leader of gang of burglars and had police record. Bo- lin served time in New York and in New Jersey for burglary and for car rying burglars tools, and those who knew the man said that besides his. magnificent home in New Rochelle he had an establishment in New York in which there was woman other than the one who passed as his wife in New Rochelle.
 When Bolin's case was called before Justice Van Auken he did not appear. His lawyer urged the. justice to wait | for an hour for the defendant, and when he did not appear then the bond of 1000 under which he had been re I -Fleased was declared forfeited. Bail had been fixed at $3,00O originally, but former Judge Van Zein, attorney for the prisoner, jnduced Justice Van Au- ken to reduce 1t. ,. @A
 A Saloon Hanger On.
 Bolin,s home was in Huguenot park, a restricted residential section, and he .fliyed there with a woman who said she was his wife. He moved into his home four months ago, and he began at once to ingratiate himself with his neighbors.
 In New York Bolin was known as hanger on in saloons and as a man whom it was we'll to watch. He work ed at one time in a saloon in, One Hun dred and Forty-ninth street, near Third avenue, but the proprietor of the place denied he ever had been employ T ed there. The bootblack in front of the saloon knew Bolin, however, and others who patronized the place also remembered him.
 They said Bolin in the last four weeks had been seen in the rear, room
 of the saloon with tall blond and 1 that he seemed to have plenty of mon- ey. Those who knew him said also it was difficult to realize he has been able to pass as physician ill New Rochelle, for his manners were rough, and his speech was punctuated with phrases of the underworld. Bolin, it was said also, frequently boasted or what he had done. and one of his sev- eral arrests was due entirely to his de- sire to shine as clever crook. ... .... ... Forgot sthe Slang. .,.- trc Nevertheless Bolin when, he got to New Rochelle polished his speech. sub- dued his manners and forgot his un- derworld slang. It was evident he must have studied medicine and chem istry at one time. for he seemed to have a knowledge of these subjects and was able to discuss them intelligently. Mrs. Bolin, when her husband did not appear in court to answer to the charge of attempted burglary, told the police he had gone to New York and I would return before noon: She said he had gone to obtain money with which to pay his counsel and other ex penses. Later she admitted that be fore leaving he had tried to kill him. self and said he did not intend to re turn. She insisted she did not know where to find him nor was she able tc tell the names of.any of his friends. After the news of Bolin's arrest was printed in the newspapers Superin 5 tendent Dougherty of the Pinkertor Detective agency telephoned to the DO 5 lice of New Rochelle that the mar } was an old offender.
