$5,0OO Bond For Kovachi
 Con ; Man

After a lengthy hearing in the City court to-day, during which Michael Yacko, of 554 Holly avenue told how he had been defrauded out of S2,3O0 by John Kovachi, of New York City, in November, 1918, Judge William B. Boardman bound the New Yorker over to the Superior court under $5,- 900 bonds, on charges of larceny. Yacko also identified picture of Frank Miller, of New York, as the man who assisted kovachi to work the touch
 The game that was put over on the Bridgeporter is older than the pyra- mids or the ancient wall of China, and was worked on the well known plan whereby the son of a repentant father wished to return some of the money which was dishonesty secured by the parent
 After getting s2,30o from Yacko. who was in the saloon business at the time, Kovachi and his partner left for parts unknown. They showed up in Bridgeport about a month ago, however, and were immediately rec ognized and placed under arrest

Can Fix But
 Three Deaths
 On Gross1nan

Berlin. Sept 24.-A1though Karl GroSsman, modern Bluebeard and Su- per criminal, is believed to have kill ed from twenty to thirty women, the officials of the Prosecuting Attorneys staff have stated to-day that they could not fix more than three mur- ders on him and possibly six at the most.
 Grossman was turned over to the prosecuting Attorney by the Police yesterday and was questioned at length, both on Friday and to-day. The prisoner who appears to be de- generate of the saddist type, is the most amazing criminal ever seen in this country. He is a man of many contradictions.
 The accused is 5S years of age and was formerly a butcher in South Ger many. He is dirty and his clothing is ragged and filthy. His hair and beard are unkempt- But his forehead is high and of the intellectual type. and his eyes are sharp and gray.
 Like Henri Landru, the French wife murderer, who is now in jail at Paris, Grossnlann shows remarkable mental nimbleneSs- He will never admit anything until he is trapped and then his eyes flash and sarls out answers, like an angry animal

Judge Landis is given final authority to fix prices for the Worlds Series.
