boy entering building in the finan-
cial district. He would engage him in
er's office he was going to visit. The
conversation would lead to the other
boy identifying the stock he was carry
ing, and if Irving thought it was worth
while he would offer to make the de-
livery himself.
His offer was seldom refused, and,
although large fortunes in securities
were frequently represented in these
informal transactions, this method was
NOT considered unusual among the mes
.cngers.
Although Gluck's testimony indicated
that certificates involving amounts of
less than $1,000 were hardly worth his
little in actual cash. He seems to have
realized something less than $4,000 in
cash.
On one occasion, he said. his brother
Irving stole 100 shares Of Bethlehem
StGel. Joe at that time was holding
$4,000 worth of bonds which he was
about to dispose Of, so Irving threw in
his Bethlehem to so with the bonds.
ICE said he turned the entire batch
ever to Wolf and received 500. The
largest amount he ever received for
stolen stocks from Arnstein was $500,
he said.
Gluck told Mr.. Myers that he had
been employed by various firms in Wall
Street and lived at $50 South Seventh
Avenue, Mount Vernon. In a long list
of stolen securities his attention was
called to twenty-five shares of Allied
Packers, and he was asked when they
we're stolen. He declared that it was
in either April or May Of 1919, but was
indefinite as to the firm from which
they were taken.
Packers Stock Destroyed
Gluck said he though his brother
took the Allied Packers. as the stock
proved to be no good and had to be de-
stroyed. An item Of 100 shares of
American Beet Sugar was also taken by
Irving. Joe said. His brother obtained
this stock from messenger whose
name he could not remember, and he
was sure that Irving would not be able
to recall it, either, as he had dealings
with larg" number of runners. This
stock was delivered to Nick Cohn in
the presence of Arnstein, Gluck said.
He could not remember whether he
gave it to Cohn in Baltimore or Wash,
ington.
Gluck said David w. Sullivan, head
Of the dcfunct brokerage firm that
handled upward of 100000 worth of
stolen stocks for Arnstein and Cohn,
was never present when he delivered
his loot to the two "Nickys." Mr..
Myers was much interested in Gluck's
description of man referred to as the
"Count,' to whom Gluck admitted turn
ing over 100 shares of American Can
Company stock.
"The count was a big fellow" said
the witness. ale stood about 6 feet
and weighed about 200 pounds. He had
full face and q light complexion. He
had no mustachc when ! knew him."
Did you ever know who this Count
was?' Myers asked
"All l knew about him was that he
used to go up to the st. Regis restau-
rant at Fifticth Street and Broadway
and also used to hang around Daly's.
He is the man that was the extortion-
lst. There is man up at the Tombs
now who knows him."
Asked who this man was, Gluck said
he didn't know his name, but he was
on the fourth tier and knew big Bill.
Furey. He couldn't recall the number
of the cell, but offered to escort Mr..
Myers to the Tombs and point it out.
Messenger Identifies Loot
The messengers attention was called
to 100 shares of American Car and
Foundry stock. This he identified as
part of the loot turned over to Nick
Cohn. Reverting to the American Can
Company stock, Gluck said it was given
to him by "fellow named Gus" He
could not remember where Gus lived
or for whom he worked, but he was
sure that he had turned the Can stock
over to him in the Pennsylvania Ho-
tel during October, 1919. Gus, ac-
cording to Joe, can usually be found
changing out around Forty-second
Street and Broadway or in front of
the Palace Theater."
