J There is a rumor that Fonxi took $1,000,000 tn larg-e bills from the bank Just 'before the crash, but we have sot verified this. His assets are an undeter mined factor."; : - - CLAMOB. AT DOOBS Meanwhile, excited note holders clam ored at the-doora of Attorney General Allen's office , today, . demanding; - that Ponxi and the Officers of the Old Colony Foreign Exchange company, who copied the Ponzl scheme and were arrested yesterday, "be turned over to them. "Let's have ! Brightwell and Ponxi." came the shouts. State bouse guards With difficulty quieted the investors. Reports from Lawrence also said that frantic investors there had assailed the of flees-of the j-Old Colony Foreign Kx change agent and Ponzi's agent, threat ening -their lives. The (manager of the Old Colony, it is said, took flight and is missing with all his belongings. Edward I Pride, today declared that Ponzl has more than, enough' to cover his liabilities, and that his own state ments indicate this' Ut be true. Another bank went on the rocks today, but' inasmuch as it is very closely affiliated with the Hanover Trust com pany, the smashup only can be regarded as an echo of the Hanover closing. under federal law. a minimum term of years in a modern prison faces the r little Italian ; the alternative .under state lawj is life In an archaic cell.

HO . long as Ponzl is in Jail on the - federal warrant. Attorney General Allen : cannot clap his blanket warrant oa him and arraign him on the 53 counts of : larceny which he ha 3 found. Ponzi's bail under the state warrants tenta tively was fixed at $100,000 today. An interesting sidelight on the Ponzl case is the threatened shakeup in the Bofton police department. Shortly after Poiizi started business in earnest, police . were sent to his office to investigate. ' POLICE IJTVKST MOXET Those who were sent generally stayed to invest. It IS said that Boston coppers podled their savings and ..invested in larks sums. aSo one in the department will escape pstigation from the highest official to the lowest ctVilian clerk," Police Com missioner1 Curtis said, in commenting on thei probe today. .
