this statement with two qualifications.
First he wished it understood that in
his attempts to arrive at an under
standing with the bank he is not try
ing to compound a felony, and, sec
ond he charges bad faith on the part
of the bank.
1T was intended to have my client
come forward at the proper time
said the attorney, TO take his medi
cine: but Wider objected to being
locked up in the Tombs this hot weath
er. when he must be unable to get
bail. That was his only reason for
keeping out of the way
Wider's Counsel Dossed by Detectives.
On the second count Ginsberg spoke
with emphasis. There was a gentle
mans agreement that the loss of the
securities was not to be made public
at this time he declared The plan
was to restore them without loss to
the bank in the fall, but instead of
carrying out the agreement the police
have been put on the case and 1 have
been dogged by detectives.

loss. He knew nothing of it, nor did
anyone at the bank. until my client
