Having come 10000 miles to meet

they passed through In their own war

ror OF the place they once regarded as
home.
The father OF the two little globe
trotters. julius Zigudkin. was on hand
to meet them when they arrived at the
headquarters of the Hebrew Sheltering
and Immigrant Aid Society. at 229 East
Broadway. He gathered his sons In
his arms and then eagerly scanned the
bystanders.
His inspection did not seem to satisfy
him cor he addressed a hurried query In
Russian to the older boy and the lat
ter, by way OF response, pulled from the
breast pocket OF his khaki jacket a
picture OF the mother who had died in
the course of the journey.
julius Zisudkin left his family In
Grodno Ave years ago and came to this
country to better himself He found
work as a carpenter and within a year
had managed to save enough to send
for his family.

business transaction natural in the
circumstances. The stock had been
hypothecated, he said, subject to an
agreement that Rumely could surrender
1t at any time, which act would serve
TO cancel his notes.
The Evening Mail continued TO lose
money. Bonds to value OF $40. 900
were to become due October I, 1917. In
September Rumely served notice that he
would surrender his stock and take back
his notes This would mean the suspen-
sion OF publication, Kaufman said, and
rather than permit that he accepted
Rumely's Offer TO give his note for
100000 outright. this note not having
attached condition permitting Its can
collation. by the surrender OF the stock.
Saved 100000 for sieIcken,
Lawyer Kaufman maintains that he
saved 100000 Cor Sielcken in a situa-
ton where the loss of all OF his invest
ment was threatened. He asserts that
the transaction was not the exchange Dc
notes for large amount for one OF
much smaller amount but was the re-
ceipt OF an absolute obligation for
100000 In the place OF notes and col
lateral which were practically worthless.
Mr.. Kaufman asked for fair play.
N such thing as fair play be pos
sible in these fearful times Of passion
and prejudice"
Rumely and Kaufman were indicted
jointly on charge of conspiring to con-
ceal the real ownership of the Evening
Mai They were indicted separately on
a charge of perjury. The conspiracy
charge carries a maximum penalty OF

charge carries n penalty OF Ave years
