 i. NEW YORK, oct 24.-David Lamar has begun to serve his federal year in Jersey jail; Bill Fallon, the Broadway lawyer, is having his own troubles fighting his way out of a serious fracas with the law; Fuller and Melee. the bucket-shop broke have pleaded guilty and squealed; and now Albert l.. Guimares, asso- ciate of the murdered Dotty King, is spending night in the Tombs, un- able to raise S5,000 bail.
 t This may be only the first of many nights on which Guimares may have a chance to study the outside world from an inside view, for he was ar rested Tuesday afternoon on a ! charge of using the mails to defraud , in the final descent of federal off cers on the free-srending, non- Rolling leaders of merriment after midnight in inc lid clubs on and off Broadway. Only Mickey Arnstein, husband of the faithful Fanny Brice of the Follies-only Mickey, of all that quondam earefree crew, is able 10 walk the west side of Broadway now, from Times Squafe to the Sev- enties, with q nod and an unworried time day for the dandy detectives who patrol the street.
 They were the life of the night life until less than year ago. Now perhaps, with Guimares withdrawn from fluent circulation. some of the coziest little above-stairs plants where the walls are backed with felt and hung with heavy draperies to confine the sounds of revelry by night, will go out of business because of non support
 Committed To Tombs.
 Guimares was picked up by United States Inspector Herbert N. Graham Tuesday afternoon and rushed through a preliminary hearing be- fore Commissioner Hitchcock. He was game, Guimares was. For the lack of a mere s5,000, which any good hustler should be able to pick up between noon and sundown in circumstances of sufficient urgency Albert k. Guimares was committed to the Tombs on charge of using the mails to get plenty for nothing whatever. But he smiled his way through the crowd in the commis- sioner's little office and refused tC be4annoyed.
 Guimares first became prominent not to say notorious. at the time when Dotty King was found crum- pied amid the silks of her bed in c flat opposite the Calvary Baptist church, within earshot of the pulpit where the famous John Roach Strat- ton whanged the Bible with a righ- teous fist and preached damnation to doers of evil. Guimares had beer Dotty's other associate. After she had been killed for the rather chear but extremely flashy collection oi jewelry, Guimares was asked many questions by the police and the dis trict attorney, but in the end the Dotty King cases joined the Gentle man Joe Elwood case in the files at police headquarters as one of the un- solved mysteries of Broadway.
 Some time after that, Guimares married Betty Piermont, a red-haired girl, and settled down to his business of getting the money. Hilda Fergu- son, the chorus girl who was Dotty's roommate before the murder took a trip to Paris, returned, and is now in the same show with Fanny Brice- the Follies
 Acquaintances Restricted.
 They have rather limited circle of personal acquaintances, after all these characters in Broadway's big cases of the last few years, and their field of operations also is bounded by a few blocks between Forty second street and prizefighters' cor ner at Ninety-sixth and Broadway
 At the time of the Dotty murder Guimares was operating one of his many brokerage" firms as a sort of namesake of hers. This was the firm
 
 under Guimares' genius in the same building with four other of his en- teierises. All of these were scruti- nized by the postoffice inspectors in their search for evidence to support a complaint received from one o1 Guimares' Customers" Continuing their explorations in the realm o1 brokerage, they found that Guimares was also the firm" in five other concerns, which they investigated also.
 Two other men, Henry W. Fields and William B. Kaas, associates oi Guimares, were arrested and war rants are out for Henry Guimares a brother of Alfred, and two others
 Graham, the federal inspector sai6 the government had evidence that e e$150,000 had been obtained from q number of investors who had the misfortune to be named on sucker list and who were approached by t. phone for their "business." And he wasn't sure that this was the total
 According to Graham, Guimares had more business ingenuity than any of the others who have got into trouble. When, as the government will allege, Guimares had sold ar order of stock to an investor" which wasn't worth the bond paper used for printing the certificate. he would turn the customers name over to his the governments claim, Guimares utilized even the squeal, for 1t was a private stock fraud bureau. The bureau would offer to investigate the deal transacted with the stock bro kerage firm and would charge a fee for the service, obtaining in the process possession of all the evidence in the customers hands.
