attorneys office in Chicago were at Insults hearing, ready to start back with him if extradition was granted. The agents were sur prised at the courts decision. Insull was expected to remain in Greece pending assurance he could return to the United States in safe ty. He expected his wife to come here from Paris to join him soon.
 He hoped that his son, Samuel, Jr, might come from the United States. Insult believed that tho Canadian government would not grant extradition of his brother, Martin Insult.
 State Attorney Riganacos said the court should remember that the S50,000 victims of Insults en- terprises" included many widows and orphans and were mainly poor people. He charged that Ipsull's ter he learned that the United States and Greece had no extrafii- tion treaty, proved his guilt.
 The collapse of the Insull en- terprises proved that Samuel In- sull was one of those adventurers who, by various stratagems, &C., cumulated the savings of poor people for their own benefit" the states attorney charged. Insull continued to receive the praise of the Athens population af- ter the trial. An enthusiastic crowd surged around him as a few friends escorted him out of court. Members of the crowd shouted "Hurrah for Greek justice" as the room was cleared.
 Athens, December 28 - (UP) - Samuel Insull intends to remain | in Greece permanently, he an- nounced today after the Greek ap- peal court had refused his extra dition to the United States on charges of embezzlement growing out of the collapse of his utilities interests.
 Insull, a free man so long as he remains in Greece, returned today to the Petit Palais hotel from the hospital where he had been a pa tient. under police supervision.
 The former utilities cZar said he expected his affairs in the United States to be cleared up within three months. He attributed his prosecution to political motives.
 The United Press was informed at the American legation that le- gation officials could take no fur ther action in the cast at present, as the legation was not a party to the trial, and that no further ef- forts for Insults extradition were in prospect immediately. This de- cision was based on the appeal courts decision that Insull was guilty of no material penal acts under Greek law.
 Washington, December 28, - CUP) Investigation of the In- sull utilities collapse by the senate banking and currency committee will proceed despite refusal of Greek authorities to extradite Samuel Insult, Chairman Norbeck of the committee said today.
 If it has any effect" Norbeck told the United Press, 'it will make us push the investigation harder"
 Committee investigators have been working for some months on the facts of the collapse of Insults giant utilities claim. Norbeck said the sub- committee in charge of procedure in the general stock market investigation probably would meet soon after the Christ mas holiday.
 ''Our primary purpose in this investigation is not to punish any, one," Norbeck explained. T hope that two things will come out of this investigation: first. the educa- tion of the public in the various methods of marketing stocks and bonds, and second, the laying of a basis for laws to protect the in- nocents.
 "Thcre is no way to protect the man or woman who wants to gamble under the polite term of speculation, but they represent only small per cent"
