DANIELSoN AND PUTNAM NEWS

1 practically disheartened Friday after
 reading of the arrest of the wizard of | finance and statements as to the coa3i- | tion of his business. Just how much
 money was taken out of Danielson by i agents of Ponzi is hard to establish, but | the statement was made, about four | weeks ago, to the writer of this column, | by one who was in close touch with what was being done here to secure sub scrptions, that s1,50e was obtained, in small amounts, in one day. Most of | these subscriptions came from working I people, attracted by the offer of an ex- l traordinary interest return, and much of | it was withdrawn from deposit in local 1 banks
 The $1,5oe referred to was invested | in the Ponzi plan prior to the begin ming of the series of investigations that | have brought such a sensational climax. I At that time attention of banker here was called to what was being done and 1 his opinion asked as to whether, the l chances were any worse than they would be in the old 520 Per Cent Mil i Ter deal. His advice was to leave the investment entirely alone and this advice was accepted by some who were being tempted to get in and make a cleanup before the storm that has now burst-and which was sure to come put in its appearance.
 The blowing out of a tire on 8 rear wheel of the special Ford car in which they were travelling caused the machine to skid and turn over at Elmville Fri day-the 18th just about Il a. n1., injuring J. A. Welch of New York and Thomas Gregory of New Bedford, rep
 resentatives of a candy manufacturing company A third man who was in the car escaped without any hurts. Gregory, who has an injured knee, and Welch, who was scratched and shaken up, were not seriously hurt. They were first at- tended by Miss Mary Foley at the home
 of Miss Nellie Dwyer, near whose home the accident occurred, and later Dr. George Barnes of DayYille gave them attention.
 The car was coming from Dayville toward Danielson when the accident happened. According to Miss Foley, the ivst indication of the coming crash, was a loud explosion, such as a tire would make in blowing out then there were screams as the car started to skid, turn around and turtle, the rear wheels col lapsing. Two of the men were thrown clear of the car, but Gregory was pin ned beneath the overturned machine from where he was quickly extrcated. Caramels which were being carried in tk" car were scattered about the state highway when the first of those attract ed by the crash reached the scene. It was stated that the car was not traYel:ng at a high rate of speed, but cnly rra5onafiy fast when the accident occurred. The name of the third man in the car was not obtained Welch was said th he in charge of the party the other two men working under his di- rection. The car was repaired suffici-t ently durrc the afternoon to permit of it; being used by the party in continu-
 ing their trip, which was of business
 nature.
