An examination Of the records in the
office of the clerk of Queens County
Yesterday developed the fact that an
absolute divorce from Arnstein was
secured by Mrs. Carrie Arnstein on
June 10. 1919. The decree was handed
down by Supreme Court Justice Lean
der B. Faber in Long Island City. The
action was undefended and a woman
known only as Fannie" was named as
the correspondent. Arnstein's name in
he papers is given as Arndstein, which
5 believed to be his real name.
According to the testimony the wo.
man known as Fannie" was living
With Arnstein at 166 West Seventy
second Street, Manhattan, and the
brought were alleged to have occurred
1918. N
The complaint states that the Arm
stems were married on March Ia, 1908,
in Jersey City and that there were no
children.
Alexander s. Green, process server,
testified at the trial that he visited
Arnstein's apartment en- the morning
of July 2, 1918, and saw the defendant
occupying a bedroom with woman
whom he called Fannie.
Philip Borach, who said he was in the
theatrical business, said he had known
Arnstein for five years and had known
HIM to use the name of Arnold. He
often visited Arnsteins apartment, he
testified, and always saw Fannie there
and frequently heard Arnstein address
her as "honey" and dear"
Records in the Deputy Clerks office
in Brooklyn show that Jules w. Arm

Miss Fannie Borack, who described
herself as a dressmaker and said she
lived at 1850 Flatbush Avenue, Brook
lyn. Arnstein said he was a broker
living at 1914 Twenty-fourth Street,
formed by Deputy City Clerk John F.
Quaile.
In a statement given out last night
W a. iAAH6 DetIhS anu UIOkeIdRo houses
that clever crooks are still operating
in the financial district, Bernard j.
McGinn, manager of the claim depart
ment of the American Surety Company,
revealed the fact that since the hunt
for Jules w. Arnstein has been in
progress there have been two thefts of
securities aggregating $4,000.
One robbery involved the loss of
$4,000 in mixed securities, Mr.. Nc
CHM stated. These were intrusted to
messenger to be taken to prominent
bank for substitution. In the other
theft a messenger got away with $780,
600 worth of United States Rubber and
Great Northern preferred stocks.
In the latter case, Mr.. McGinn said
the messenger had been employed only
two hours by the house which lost
the securities. He had shown himself
to be willing and quick in carrying
checks and his employers thought it
safe to trust him with the larger sum.
"The gang, alleged to have been d-
rected by Arnstein, may have been
broken up" said Mr.. McGinn, "but
there are tdst as clever crooks in the
financial district right now and the
conditions under which they are work
ing are just as easy.
Detectives working on the robberies
tell US that the favorite method pur-
sued by the crooks is for one boy to
