Representatives of Lloyds in , London said they were convinced.' however, that Wolf was not aided , tjy any of the 50 men who worked \, under him in the coupon department of the fourth largest bank, 1 1 in America. i 1 1 James R. Leavell and Aimer J. Stilwell, president and vice president of the $1,123,000,000 institu- ' tion, also said they were convinced no other employe of the bank had ■ been involved in the record smashing speculations, but considered it probable that someone I outside the bank had aided Wolfin keeping secret his investment I activities. Wolf himself blamed fate and stockbrokers for his troubles, but most of all he Named himself. “If I only could live the last 10 years over again.’’ he said. It was said that not more than SSOO of all the thousands Wolf | embexzled was turned to his owr, Use- The rest he lost in the I markets. The bank put a large corps of men at work searching files of' this last 10 years to determine j just how many securities had been taken and to find evidence, [ if possible, that someone had aided Wolf. Bank officials said Wolf admitted he was eiieouraged by brokers , to plunge deeply into the markets in desperate efforts to win l»ek his losses. He stole securities, it was charged, and put them up as margin. ATTORNEY FOR KIRKLAND WILL DEFEND POWERS (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE: children: formerly operator of a' beauty parlor in Detroit. Also, it was learned, a “count" I answering the description of Dr. A. B! Plater, operator of the American l Friendship Society, the matrimonial agency in question, had been ( involved in an investigation in Chi|cago during war time. Mrs. Powers, investigators learn-

ed, was divorced by her first husband. Ernest Kneiseley who stood trial for murder in 1903. He was acquitted on a plea ot self defense. He had killed a man with a rock. Mrs. Downey, according to the story told Assistant Attorney General Joseph A. Gillis "in Detroit b? her 13-year-old daughter, Elinor, was introduced to Downey through the American Friendship Society in November. In January, just a few weeks after their marriage, the girl said. Downey killed her mother, then killed himself in Miami. Scarcely had these facts become known than it was announced that Barratt O'Hara. Chicago trial attorney who defended Virgil Kirkland. Gary. Ind., slayer of his sweetheart, had flown here by plane to arrange Powers’ defense. Authorities planned to investi'gate O'Hara's connection with the case. Other difficulties in which principals in the case have been involved at one time or another,

were revealed. 1 During war time, “Count" A. i Browel Plater was denounced as a ‘■fraud,’’ by g Russian woman in , Chicago who said she knew Count , Plater’s family. The “count” had ( . no right forefinger. He lost it. he ; » said, in a saber duel. , The fact the right forefinger of , Dr. A. B. Plater of the Detroit , matrimonial agency also was missing has led to some confusion of the two men. ( The Russian woman said the ( I "count” was a servant in the fam- , 1 ily of the original Count Plater. | J Then she was deported, and soon | wrote friends in Chicago that the “count'' had vanished. "Count” Plater at the time had just received his captain's cominisi sion in an army training camp. The incident possibly will be checked by authorities investigating the American Friendship Society. Also, it was learned that Powers cnce rested in jail after courtship under the name of Joseph Gildow 1
