the principal witness for the Govern
ment to-day at the trial OF Jules w.
"Nicky" Arnstein. and the other de-
PENDANTS under indictment here on
charges of conspiracy to transport
stolen securities into the District of
Columbia.
Gluck turned States evidence and
told the jury before Justice Gould In
criminal court how the stolen bonds
were taken to Washington by Arm
stein. the witness himself. and Isadore
Nick" Cohen. who thus far has eluded
capture
His testimony came as the climax to
a series of revelations OF immunity al
legged to have been promised to the
offenders by the New York District
Attorney IL they would give evidence
which would tend to convict Arnsten.
Gluck told how the bonds were
turned over by him to Arnstein and
Cohen and taken to Washington. Wi, re
they were placed in local bank as
collateral for large loans advanc ed to
the firm of Sullivan & Co., 10 Broad
way, New York.
Snys His share Was $1,000.
The witness identified David w. Sui
Ivan, former head OF sullivan & Co.. as
the man who met Arnstein at the Penn
sylvania Station In New York in Octo-
ber. 1919. and conferred at great length
over the stolen securities.
c;luck said the party then entered a
1rain for Washington, where the So
curities were turned over TO tile local
Offices OF Sullivan & Co. He said he re-
ccived $1,000 for his share of the booty.
but that Cohen later borrowed $500
from him. He did net get chance to
say what other funds or stocks were
returned to him. for Justice Gould or
dered adjournment until tomorrow.
Although Gluck was interrupted sew
eral times by attorneys who clashed over
the propriety OF admitting certain of his
statements TO evidence. the story he told
ian approximately as follows:

The Bronx. New York city. / knew Arm
stein as George and was introduced TO
him by Nick Cohen. ! met Arnstein In
New York the same day the bonds were
reported stolen. 1t was at the yelling
ton Hotel. l went there with Cohen. He
told me he had an appointment with

lobby for him. After a few minutes q
gentleman came In and stopped before
Cohen. 1t proved TO be Arnstein. ]

but refused to let him have e. held
onto It and when we were In the drawing
room OF the Pullman Cohen told Arnstein
he was sure the bonds were good Arm

bag was opened and the securities were
dumped out. Arnstein looked at the sig
natures and said they were good.
