announcement Of Ponzrs arrest
While the report of postofice in

made to Washington. the high lights
Of their discoveries have been con-
tanned in teIegraphic dispatches.
Ponzi was first arrested on a
charge OF using the mails to de-
fraud Released on s25.O 900 bail. he
was then rearrested on a State lar
ceny charge He was arraigned,
pleaded not guilty, and was held in
$4,000 bail for a hearing on Au-
gust y. As soon as bail had been
posted Ponzi drove to his home in

Coupon Story Denied.
There is not an iota Of truth in
POnzi's statement that he made vast
profits in manipulating interna-
tionaI reply coupons. We have in
vestisated this matter thoroughly
and find that where the currency
N a foreign country is deprecated
it always protects itself against
loss by charging more for postal
coupons. It could not do otherwise
unless it was asleep.
We have every reason to believe
that for the most part Ponzi simply
took in money and then paid it out
again with the intention Of getting
a great number Of investors and
then making a getaway. So far as
we have been able to learn he dealt
to only a slight extent in ordinary
stocks and securities.
