ANGRY MOB CLAMORS
FOR WRECKER Of BANK
Covering in Bed, New Berlin,
N. Y, Man Hears Crowds
Calling Vengeance.

UTICA, N. Y, May 6-Cowering in
his bed of sickness, Frank T. Arnold,
the confessed wrecker of the First Ma
tional Bank at New Berlin, listened to
a mob of 500 men. women and children
gathered before his $4,000 bungalow,
clamoring that he be brought out and
lynched. Not until dawn did United
States Commissioner James Flanagan Of
Norwich and United States Marshal Fos-
ter Black dare to bring the man out of
his house and rush him in an automobile
to the county Jail at Norwich. He will
be arraigned before United States Commits
sioner James S. Flanagan today on the
charge of violating section 500 OF the
Federal statutes.
The placing of guards at the Arnold
property has made the former cashier
of the First National Bank virtually a
prisoner since April II. the day the insti-
tuition closed its doors.
Bitter Feeling Aroused.
During the last week the bitter feeling
against Arnold has been Increased by
the suicide Of depositor who lost his
all in the bank failure and by the case
of woman who lost her reason as the
result of her losses. The latest cause
VI puDliC was TIC dppSdl-
ance Saturday afternoon of an editorial
in the New Berlin Gazette. The paper
hoped that the villagers would not take
the law into their own hands, but de-
clared that patience had been sorely
tried The delay in bringing the de-
faulter to justice SO exasperated the in
habitants of New Berlin that respon-
sible men in the village had openly de-
clared that unless the authorities ar
rested Arnold they would tar and fea-
ther him.
Sticks and Stones Thrown.
Although counseling against violence.
the newspaper article seemed to make the
people uglier. and they began to congre-
gate in the vicinity of the Arnold bunga-
low. Marshal Black and three assistants,
when told of the gathering, fastened to
New Berlin and made the arrest. Their
arrival, however, brought the people out
in still greater numbers. Sticks and stones
were thrown, cannon crackers and shots
were let off. while tin pans were beaten
and shouts of Bring him out". Burn
him out!'' String him up!' resounded in
the room of the sick man.
Arnold has suffered a nervous break
down following the discovery Of his de-
falcations. but physicians say he will be
able to stand trial.
