OF Warren, Mass, closed py ex-
an,iners investigating the reported
disappearance of s212,000 in bonds
and securities today was under arrest
here while detectives awaited the ar
rival of his wife.
Meanwhile search was being in
stituted for Abraham Goldman of Chi.
cage. owner of the controlling inter-
est in the institution, and Joseph y.
Marcino. his son-in-law, who II wa.
SAID had purchased controlling in
terest in the Merchants and Me-
chanics bank at Philadelphia and the
Niagara Life Insurance company OF
Buffalo.
Taylor Sought Goldman
Arrested by private detectives last
night, Taylor said the first news OF
his banks failure reached him
through newspapers. A suspicion that
all was not well at the institution,
Taylor told the officers brought him
to Chicago to confer with Goldman,
Marcino, Taylor said, had disappeared
a week previous with the key to
safety deposit box containing the
banks bonds and securities.
Asked Inquiry Himself
II did not learn until after leaving
Warren. that the banks bonds were
gone" officers quoted Taylor. When
discovered that the key to the box
was missing wrote to Goldman and
I came here to consult him. ! had
heard rumors that some of the banks
bonds were being sold but could not
verify it, SO l became suspicious. My
suspicious were so great that when / |
reached Chicago l sent word to tho
bank examiners to start an inquiry"
Niarcino Is Accused
Taylor said in his conference with
Goldman the latter voiced a suspicion
that Marcino had fled with the banks
funds.
Extradition was waived by Taylo,
and he expressed willingness to re-
turn to Warren at once.
II can't even pay my way back
there" he told detectives.
Further investigation here last
night disclosed that Taylor held a
responsible position with the Coopera-
tive Society of America until Septem-
Der 1921, when he resigned. A son
Is now attending High school here.
Under the name Of Moffere, detec-
tives said, Marcino had bought stock
of the bank of Perris, Calf, Harbbr
City Savings Bank of San Pedro,
Calf, and an Ottawa, Illinois bank.
Marcino and Goldman, Taylor SAID.

he institution at salary of $50
