D WIGGINS SAYS
 HE WILL MAKE GOOD | LOSSES ID CLIENTS
Man Who Admits Work ing Scheme to Rob Pa triOtic Investors
 Is Penitent

Montgomery, November, 16-within few years the Bankers Life Insur. ance company of Des Moines, Ia, whose general agent I was in Now York city, will owe me s40.OO0 in re- newals on life insurance policies and if the company makes this good to me I will make the losses good to all tho people who invested in liberty bonds through me-"
 The above is the statement of Elmer Dwiggins. the New { York insurance man. just before leaving for New York Friday morning in custody of post office inspectors, who were taking him back on the specific charge of using the mails to defraud through sales of liberty bonds on "a dollar down and a dollar week" installment plan.
 Dwiggins left Montgomery a pen itent man. but by no means downcast He enthusiastically declared that he would find some way to make good to all the men, women and children who had purchased liberty bonds from him on the installment plan, one of his schemes being to get the Bankers Life Insurance company to back him in his desire to prevent the purchasers of the bonds from sustaining any loss what ever.
 ' Dwiggins is far from being broke According to Postoffice Inspector Me Quillan of New York the insurance man has s34,000 cash deposited in q New York bank at interest and about s20Q 900 in a New York safety deposit vault. In addition to those sums Dwiggins had IS s1oo bills and s107 in small currency on his person when arrested, and a number of liberty bonds
