PONZI INVESTORS MAY HAVE
TO RETURN MONEY

BOSTON, Aug. 13-Other arrests
are expected within "a hours as the
further result of the investigations of
spectacular fnancino which began
when Charles Ponzi's Securities Ex-
change Co. fell under suspicion.
With the matter of Ponzi's affairs
pretty we'll in hand, Atty. Gen. Allen
has turned his attention to other
money-making enterprises, which it
is claimed have been conducted in vi
olation of the law and to the loss OF
too credulous investors.
Belief was expressed today at the
office of Atty. Gen Allen that it
would be possible to compel persons
who cashed their Ponzi notes with
interest previous to the crash to
return the money pro rata distribu-
ton among all the creditors. Attor-
neys of the Attorney General are
making study of this angle of the
situation working on the theorv that
the money distributed by Ponzi was
stolen money and so can be pursued
and recovered anywhere.
The Attorney General also is en-
uedNOTlNS W liHu leSdl ncdHS IOi
proceeding against Ponzi's agents OF
whom he believes there were hum
dreds employed in various parts of
New England. More than 500 letters
containing unpaid Ponzi notes or in
formation concernin them were de-
livered to the Attorney General this
morning. Today much hostility to
Ponzi was apparent.
Bank Commissioner Allen by
whose order the Hanover Trust Co.,
Ponzi's chief depository, was closed
on Wednesday, said today that de-
positors would lose nothing
Nothing has developed as yet" he
said, (which leads me to believe that
any depositor in the Hanover Trust
Co. will lose dollar l believe the
assets of the company together with
the liabilities of the stockholders,
will produce sum to pay every de-
positor in full"
In another statement Commission
Ell Allen expressed the opinion that
the Hanover was the only Trust
Company in New England likely to
suffer from Ponzi's operations.
