departure of Mr.. S!egel puts him in a nc.
cuiiar and compromising pos ton and may

here Is a man who comes into court ask

denly and secretly sailed away. Psrbans
lie went under an assumed name. or a,
least obtained his sta;eroom under an

ferent II Siegel had come to the Dlstric.
Attorneys office and had submitted bona
fide reasons for going abroad. /, is the
first instance OF which know that a man

last night that Segel had not booked a
passage under his own name up to the
time the ship sailed. 1t was explained
that II was quite possible for him to have
walked on board and paid his passage
after the boat left the pier or for him to
have got friend to book a passage for
him under the trends name.

his home in Islip. said yesterday that ne

possible that slegel may have written a
letter 70 him which will be at his Office

reason for HE sudden departure.
Siegcrs daughter, Mrs. Tyreil W.
Cavendish, has town house at IS
Lowndes Square. London, and a country
home at Stafford. jerome Siegel. S!egels
