NEW YORK, Dec. 1l.--Federai

day to cooperate with local officials
in running down what Is believed 10

jury in lieu of $4,000 bail. Klee was
arrested after half dozen women OF
New York and New Jersey towns had
testified that they hau married Won
Wagner and that they believed Klee
to be Won Wagner's accomplice.
Some OF the women who claim To
have gone through marriage cere
