CHICAGO, ILL.,, Oct. 12.-In the ar
rest Of William r. Hunt, former head of
the failed Pan-American bank, Monday
afternoon. federal officials declare they
have completed their case in a colossal
get-rich-scheme involving Hunt and his
former associate, Wallace H. Hopkins
This scheme was a $20.OOOOOO affair
and, say the prosecutors, bore all the
ear-marks of the other schemes of the
debonair brokers whose operations caused
such a sensation in Chicago some years
ago
Hunts chief claim to notOriety was
his participation in the Pan-American
bank failure. his escape to New York,
his long-drawn out fight against extradi-
ton and, finally, his journey to the Joliet
pcnitentiary.

present scheme, probably is as pictur-

credited with squandering several for

According to the United States officials
who are preparing to place the two men
in trial. Hunt conceived the schemes
while Hopkins, possessor of dign1tieC.

them.
