Statesville, Ill.,, Jan. 9.--Leo Koretz,
promoter of the Bayano oil bubble,
who fleeced scores Of friends and rel

last night in the state penitentiary
here.
The promoter, who for years CON
Quoted his phantom financial adven-
lures so quietly and effectively that
trusting relatives and friends begged
him to take their money, declared
when he went to prison few weeks
ago. that he did not expect to come
out alive. His death occurred at $40
o'clock.
When Koretz was found last De-
cember in Halifax, Nova Scotia, he
was suffering from diabetes and
when he was returned to Chicago and
pleaded guilty to charges of operat-
ing a confidence game, his condition
had grown much worse.
Light Sentence Urged
His lawyers urged that light
sentence be pronounced for this rea-
son and doctors who examined him
said it was doubtful if he could stand
prison life. Wien he first went to
the state prison he was given light
duties in the prison yard but few
days ago his condition was such that
he was placed in the prison hospital.
He lapsed into Inconsistencies
early today, and prison officials, con-
fident that he would be unable to
survive, summoned his three brothers
from Chicago. They were with him
when he died.
His wife, whom he had requested
be shielded as much as possible when
he was arrested, and whom, for this
reason he had refused to see when
he was brought back to Chicago, was
on her way to the prison from Chi
ca~o when he died.
Koretz died in the old prison which
he entered December 5, he having
never been moved to the new peni-

Francis r. Pope Of Spokane, Wash
