Ponzi Did Time In
1910 for Smuggling
Italians Into US.

Sacramento, CAL, Aug. 1s.--Activ-
tiles of Charles Ponzi, of Boston, de-
veloped a local angel when Rocco
Fiorenza Of Sacramento, an ex-serv-
ice man, declared Ponzi owes him
5000 which he loaned Ponzi while in
Jail with him in Plattsburg, N. Y. in
1910.
Ponzi, according to Fiorenza, was
arrested in 1910 when he attempted
to smuggle Fiorenza, his father and
two other italians into this country
from Montreal, Canada, without pass
ports.
According to Fiorenza, officials Of
an Italian bank in Montreal inform
ed them Ponzi would take them safe
ly across the border into the United
States for $50 each, which money
they paid the bank.
When the train reached the bor-
der, said Fiorenza, an immigration
official arrested the five of them. A
charge of smuggling was placed
against Ponzi, he said, while the 9TH
er four were held in the same New
York Jail with Ponzi as witnesses.
While in Jail, according to Fsoren-
"a, $500 was given to Ponzi on the
promise he would get them out of
Jail. Ponzi was convicted on the
smuggling charge, said Fiorenza, and
sentenced to serve two years in a
prison at Atlanta, Ga.

sequently l cannot tell you what

conclusion, however. that the disease
is very contagious. Most anybody can
catch it. l believe its ravages are
spread in various ways. People talk
about being bitten by the political bug
and I have almost concluded there
must be some invisible form of bug
whose bite does carry the contagfon.

the disease. Some scientist should dis

lcording to advices received by the gov

would give him a chance to benefit
from the export taxes from the new
