.ty, but he did not leave the Central
police headquarters until he had re-
iterated HIS statement that he is abso- !
lutely innocent, and that his accounts
are in good condition.
The complaint was issued by the
county attorney and is sworn to by
Detective David Broderick, who has
been working on the case. A plea Of
not guilty was entered and the case

tional bank. where his safety deposit
box was kept, but a crowd of curiosity
seekers gathered at the bank and the
visit was postponed until later in the

eral of the departments students are
required to deposit IS at the Begin
ming of the year to guarantee the uni

due Is practically paid. Bren win be
asked to explain why. under these cir
he drew such a large
sum from the bank.

has troubles on his hands which may
turn his paper profit into a deficit.
First of all, he has got to dispose OF
many millions of bushels OF wheat at
a cash price on the open market which
will be equivalent to the amount he
paid for same. In view of the fact that
cash wheat is several cents lower than
the market quotations for May 81, it
may be long wait before he can sell
to advantage.
In the second place. he Is racing an
investigation by the local board of
trade who are determined to eliminate.
as far as possible, the cornering of the
market. Lichtstern's defense is tina.
he was forced to corner the market to
protect himself.
In the third place he is brought face
to face with several lawsuits brought
by those who refused to pay their
losses on the ground that his specula-
tions were an attempt to corner the
market and thereby forced wheat
values to an abnormal price.
