der who was implicated in the con-
spiracy formed. by employees. of the
Bank of Germany to loot the institu-
tion by a system of regular embezzle-

more than a month ago. when it was
discovered that his accounts at the bank
weresshort $3.50 Bohlender was saved
from arrest by. members of his family,
who made good his. defalcations. but
he was dismissed from the bank. where
he was employed as clerk.
When Bohlender was questioned by
the bank officials he made-a confession
duplicating Grote and Bogardus. and
the latter was arrested. He is still at
the city prison. but denies that he has
been. guilty of any wrongdoing. Cap
tain of Detectives Petersen said today
that so far ais he knew no more arrests
would be made in connection with the
affair
1t is not probable that Bogardus will
be prosecuted, as it is believed that
his family will. make good his short
ages. This Will not be settled, how
ever, until the. experts conclude their
Investigation of the banks accounts.
when the National surety company of
San Francisco, which is on Bogardus'
bond, will determine whether the
charges against him shall be pressed.
Albert o. Kuerzel. aged II years, who
was also an employee of the bank, was
not implicated in the thefts. according
