rest in Chicago for embezzlement, is
in danger of Indictment here foe per-
jury. Three of his Chicago business
acquaintance, Louis and Herman
Minck and Herman Meyers, arrived
today in response to subpoenaes. They
say they saw Frankel execute the $13.-
900 with the American Home Cir
Gle: that he signed his own name to
the paper. Frankel told the jury here
that the note was executed by his wife
and that it was she who loaned the So
ciety the $4,000. These three wit
nesses saw on the note the names of
Thomas w. Wilson and NJ E. CARRIER,
president and secretary, respectively,
of the American Home Circle. The
note was satisfied after the American
Home Circle had merged with the Fra
ternal Tribunes and had gotten posses
sion of the latter's funds.

longed to hin and other members Of
Spinoza lodge and that they should
have obtained it when the lodge pass
ed out OF existence.
Frankel testified that he knew moth.
ing about the alleged shortage and
that If the money was missing he was
responsible in no way for it's not be-
ing in the treasury of Spinoza lodge
which passed out Of existence at the
merger with the Fraternal Tribunes.
He also said that the lodge owed
him s165 which he had paid out of his
own pocket while treasurer.
