Dir, have both been executed at
Tomsk. The Kolchak officers who
were imprisoned at Krasnoyarsk are
reported executed.

After conference with District At

is described as the exchanging Of In

no further deposits until an auditor
selected by the district attorney mas
examined his accounts, which are said
to run into millions.
District Attorney Pelletier said the
action taken was Sin no sense final

For several weeks past crowds OF

Ponzi Is said to have paid off the notes

Takes Advantage Of Exchange Rate.
Ponzi describes his exchange system
in general way as being based on
the use of international reply cOu-
pons authorized under the information
al postal agreement as the medium for
taking advantage Of the differences In
rates of exchange.
With deposits received from custom
ers, Ponzi explained, he converts
American dollars into Italian lire. or
other foreign money. Then, through
agents located in several countries
abroad, international reply coupons
are purchased redeemable at the nor
NAL and not the prevailing rate Of ex-
change. The coupons are then trans

profits through succeeding differences

transaction is completed and the pro-
ceeds reconverted into American dol

cording to Ponzi, who says his profits
have reached 400 per cent In some
transactions.
U. s. Agents Can't Find Flaws.
Ponzi's operations have been under
Investigation by federal, state and

uncOvering any violation Of law.
United States Attorney Gallagher said
he was not certain yet whether the
