Athens, Nov. 4.-(P-Samuel insult,
former Chicago utilities operator, was
arrested Friday at the request Of Am
erican authorities.
The American was taken into GUS
tody by the Athens police just after
noon in compliance with an order Of
the court Of appeals, which held an
application from Leland B. Morris,
the American minister, for extradi-
ton.
Chicago authorities wished to return
insult to the United States to face in
dictments charging larceny and ex-
preparations in the collapse and SUBJ
sequent receivership of the vast Mid
die West Utilities properties earlier
this year.
Christos Ladas, insults Greek at
torney, announced he would appear
before authorities Of the court of ap-
peals as soon as possible and ask that
his client be permitted to remain in
his hotel under close supervision in
stead Of being lodged in prison.
Age Will Be Basis
The attorney will plead the Ameri-
cans advanced age and point out that
Greek law permits certain prisoners
the privilege Of accommodation in q
hospital.
The ministry Of justice announced
the arrest Of insult, asserting the Am
erican legation had requested it, and
pointed to the Graeco-American ex-
tradition treaty already published In
the official Gazette.
The American legation announced
it would Immediately forward war
rant and other documents In support
of Thursdays note and these would
show the grounds upon which Illinois
wished to gain custody Of the prisoner.
Before he was arrested insult ap-
peared to newspapermen to be ner-
vous, and he complained Of not feel
ing very well.
After the police commissioner Of
Athens had called on him and he had
been officially declared under arrest,
insult had this to say:
breads Newspapermen
Apart from police surveillance,
there is such thing as surveillance
of newspapermen, from which no one
can escape"
He made this statement Just after
his attorney had announced he would
seek to keep his client in hotel room
under police surveillance.
insult was in his hotel room when
Police Director Courtsourmaris and
several plain cl.thesmen arrived. He
greeted the officers cordially, and az
ter an interval they requested him to
go with the director.
They explained that the formality
of his arrest must be completed. but
in conformity with the desire Of the
authorities, would show respect for
the prisoners age.
The Chicagoan was given every
facility to obtain good lunch.
Shaved and Dressed
The police commissioner arrived at
noon, went up the side stairway and
served the warrant. His prisoner
asked for time to shave and dress, and
telephoned his lawyer.
Some time later the commissioner
came down stairs and left by the
front door. A policeman took insult
out the back door to police headquar-
tiers.
He was bundled up in heavy over
coat and he looked i'll. It was expect
ed he would be detained at headquar-
tiers for conference with the attor-
ney general.
The public attorneys office was
closed, however. and insult was escort
ed back to his hotel for luncheon, be-
fore another call at the public attor-
ney's office later in the day.
He consulted his doctors during tho
morning. He was said to be suffer-
ing from heart trouble and diabetes.
