HAS MORE TROUBLE.
FAILS TO FREE HIMSELF
Younq Man Endeavors to Secure Re-
lease From Prison by Habeas Corpus
Proceedings, But Court Holds Him
in Prison-Others Higher Up May Be
Drawn Into Affair in Short Time.

New York, Aug. 1l.-With a second
charge lodged against linn, Donald
Persch, the young note broker who
was arrested. charged with larceny OF
copper stocks belonging to +. Au-
gustus Heinze, the former copper
magnate. is still Il prisoner tonight.
While there We're no additional ar
rests today, the district attorneys
office has ascertaircd that PersCh WAS
not alone in the transaction. The case
will be placed before the grand jury
tomorrow. The evidence. II is said,
will reveal systematic scheme
worked not only in this city. but in
Philadelphia and Boston. whereby
stocks supposed to he safe in the
vaults of banks have in reality been
relnuuiShed to individuals who rlaced
them on the market at premium.
At least one other man besides
Heinze has been victimized. lie is J.
NJ. Everett IF Boston. whose New
York brokers, Cram, Mlliken & Co.
made the additional charge against
young Persch t,day. According to
that firm Persch negotiated 4 loan
of 5000 on stock owned by Mr.. Ever
cit. The stock was 100000 shares of
the Eclipse Oil company. and the
name of Henry f. RiShorough of
Philadelphia appeared as the man who
furnished the money. Coincidcntally,
one of Mr.. Risborough's references
was Charles Katz. the brooklyn brew
er. who has been mentioned in the
IIcinze loan. The method pursued in
the Everett case, IL is said. was sim,
liar to that by which the HeinZe cop
rer stocks We're Pat on the curb
that is, the stoC.is were hypotheCated
after having beer put up as security.
Carlos Fairfield. president of one of
the Heinzc copper companies. is also
said to have lost considerable money
through the same stock shifting. The
men higher up. whom PersCh inti-
meta6 were associated with him. have
not been pinned down definitely as
yet for Persch, acting on the advice
cf counsel has not talked.
The young broker tried hard To OBJ
tain his release through habeas corpus
proceedings today, but after n lengthy
argument i'm tho supreme court de-
cision was reserved. and with his bail
still standing at $4,000 he was forced
To return to tho Tombs.
