$3.50, 600 in gold to Mexico and sold all
of it to the Treasury Department.
Air Trips Divulged.
BreX said Lieut.. John Sweeney, of
the financial fraud squad. learned
during another investigation that a
Mexican employed as a laborer in New
York took frequent trips by air to Chi
cago. On July II this man, who said
he was Alvaro Maldonado. %, was
arrested as he was boarding a plane
at Newark Airport.
The detectives who took him in GUS
tody reported he was carrying So
416.50 in gold coins. He is being held
on charge of violating the gold
reserve act.
Relayed From Chicago.
BreX said secret service men discov-
cred Maldonado carried gold to Chi
cago, where it was turned over to a
man who few to San Antonio, Tex.
from which point the gold was carried
on to Mexico. Brex added the gang
was receiving $33 for every $50 gold
piece, and gathered the coins in New
York and other cities by paying a

in the belief that the way had been
opened for the possible use Of fog dis

aviators who would be guided out of
