.FbI Arrests Banker

Failure in 1881
EmbezzIement Luid to

BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. Sin
September. 1881, the First Italian
State Bank of Chicago, owned out
right by Saverio Ariani and his FAM
ily, closed its doors leaving creditors
and depositors confronted with a
shortage of S154.53925, according to
the Federal Bureau of Investigation
A week later the Cook County
grand jury returned an embezzle-
ment indictment against Ariani and
a conspiracy indictment against
Carlo Ariani, his son. But by then,
the FBI said, the banker had disap-
peared.
On October 8, 1881, Ariani's credi-
tors filed an involuntary petition in
bankruptcy. The petition listed
among the assets insurance policies
with a face value of 100000 and a
cash surrender value of $13, ,404.21.
Yesterday FBI agents arrested
Ariani, 64, his wife Minnie, Carlo
and second son, Romolo, at their
San Francisco home where they
had lived since 1888, part of the
time under the name Oviana.
The arrests were made on a COM
plant issued through the office of
the United States District Attorney
in Chicago charging conspiracy to
conceal assets.
A search of the Ariani residence
was said to have revealed a hidden
safe containing: s38,30O in cash and
securities, 100000 of insurance poll
cies, records of the First Italian
State Bank, and the will of Saverio
Ariani, which it was said reflected
ownership of considerable real
estate" including besides the San
Francisco home, summer place
at Mountain View, Calf, and a
ranch in the San Joaquin Valley.
