WIDER TO PLEAD GUILTY
Continued from first page

No. q Mount Hope Place, in The Bronx,
where he lived with his wife and four
month-oId daughter Mrs. Ginsberg,
wife of Widers counsel. who lives in the
same house, had been under close sur
veilIance since Wider disappeared, the
detectives said. They got line on
Wider Thursday through Mrs, Ginsberg,
whom they traiIed to Brighton Beach.
where it was said she met Mrs. Wider,
who afterward communicated with her
husband.
Wider iii, Says Counsel.
Mr.. Ginsberg declined yesterday to say
where his client had been for the last
few days. while the detectives were
securing the city for him He declared
that he had known that Wider had been
a very i'll man. and under the care OF d
physician. but had not looked him up
until it was decided to surrender him to
the District Attorney Wider looked
more scared than ailing yesterday Mr.
Ginsberg pleaded with Judge Foster 10
set bail at 5000 to $4,000, which he
said he could get, in order that Wider
might go back into physicians care
Mr. Mott reviewed the case and said
that the cashiers peculatiOns amounted
to an enormous sum above what was
mentioned in the Indictment, according
to his own confession. He asked that
bail be fixed at $4,000 or $4,000
If the defendant has made a written
confession ne is not presumed to be in
nocent," said Judge Foster. and ( see
no reason TO be moderate in the matter
of bail or TO take any chances"
Wider's counsel assured the Judge that
his client had intended to surrender him
self at the District Attorneys office and
was on his way there when arrested
He said Wider had no intention of run
ming away, as he was going to plead
guilty TO the indictment. Mr.. Mott sug-
gested that the matter of bail might be
disposed of altogether. provided the case
took the course suggested by Mr.. Gins
berg. as Wider's sojourn in the Tombs
would be very brief and he would be on
his way to Sing Sing within two or three
days.
After assuring Mr.. Ginsberg that
Wider would receive the best of care
and attention in the Tombs, Judge Fos-
ter fixed bail at $4,000, and the small
prisoner was hustled to an elevator and
taken across the bridge to the city
prison, where he was assigned to a cell
on the first tier Wider was trembling
with fright when his counsel left him in
the Tombs-
Wider went 10 bed supperless. He
was assigned to d cell shortly before
dinner was served, and either because
he was not hungry or because he did
not fancy the prison fare, he declined
to eat, though the keeper advised him
to do so 1t was said Wider seemed to
be very nervous, almost on the verge of

Urban H. Broughton, president of the

to the stockholders declaring that he con-
sidered it advisable to recommend to di-
rectors at the next meeting that dividends
be suspended until the benefits from the
new smelling contract, which will be in
force in a few months, are obtained.
About two years ago the American
Smelling and Refining company, which
is owned by the Guggenheims, lost the
contract for the smelling of the Utah
Consolidated ore. The contract was Civ

combination of the leading Guggenheim
properties, gets control of Nevada Con-

of about 6 cents pound, whereas Anal
