In each instance Meyer denied Wig

I'm not sure just what 1t was"
Came Here From GERMANY.
Wider was born in Germany. He
came to the United States in 1906. He
was reputed an expert accountant. He
worked four years with the New York
branch Of the Russo CiINese Bank and
was arrested in July, 1910. charged with
taking $6S0O00 in securities from the
bank.
After Wider's arrest there followed a
hotly contested legal bnttle. He was
represented at first by Leon Ginsburg
and later by James w. Osborne. and
prosecuted by Charles S. Whitman.
then District Attorney. Wider adj
mitted taking the money, though he
named different amounts at different
times. He pleaded guilty, once. and an
other time he pleaded net guilty. The
chief controversy was fought around the
missing $6S0.000. Wider insisted that he
had lost the securities in Wall Street
He said he had them up as margin
and that the bullish cotton market

admit the theft.

the District Attorneys office. finally re-
covered about 80 per cent. of the bonds.
This fact figured In getting Wider's
sentence cut short.
1t was not long after Wider reached
Sing Sing that efforts We're started to
get him out. BY December "a, 1911 his
application for pardon was placed on
file in the office of Gov. Dix. But he
failed to get pardon that Christmas
A month later 1t was discovered that
Edward c. Vogel, Wider's father-in-law
had placed $1,000 in bonds in the hands
of Jesse ID. Frost. former Warden OF
Sing Sing. Frost. whose tumultous
career as Warden lasted four years. was
forced to resign five months after Wi
der reached prison. but during those
five months the warden and the pris-
oner. both OF whom spoke German,
became friendly.
Vogel gave the bonds. which repre-
sented the savings OF lifetime. to Frost
with the understanding that they would
accelerate" the movements being made
to release Wider. Frost was quoted as
saying that he could get Wider out
before Thanksgiving. When there was
no action. however. Vogel wanted the
$1,000 back. Frost returned $4,000 of
the bonds, but explained that the rest
had been used and could not be re-
covered. 1t was said that Frost did
not return the $4,000 until he had been
threatened by William II. McNutt once
wire Taper and later respectable
business man. who had became friendly
with Wider at the Tombs and later at
Sing Sing.
1t never was explained whether the
