BANKERS HUNT POSSIBLE ‘PAL’ OF EMBEZZLER 'Model Husband’ Insists He Had No Aids in His $1,500,000 Thefts. By United Press CHICAGO, Sept. 3.—Banking and insurance company officials hunted today through voluminous records for evidence that someone helped Walter E. wolf embezzle more than $1,500,000 from the Continental-Illi-nios Bank and Trust Company. “I had no accomplices,” declared the 42-year-old model husband and neighbor, but officials found it almost impossible to believe that for ten years the $4,000-a-year bank employe could work entirely alone and escape detection as he squandered fortunes in the stock markets. Representatives of Lloyd's in London said they were convinced, however, that Wolf was not aided by any of the fifty men who worked under him in the coupon department of the fourth largest bank in America. James R. Leavell and Abner J. Stilwell, president and vice-presi-dent, respectively, of the sl,123,000,000 institution, also said they were convinced no other employe of the bank had been involved in the record-smashing peculations, but considered it probable someone outside the bank had aided Wolf. Wolf himself blamed fate and stock brokers for his troubles, but most of all, he blames himself. “If I only could live the last ten years over again,” he said. It was said that not more than SSOO of all the thousands Wolf embezzled was turned to his own use. The rest he lost in the markets, The bank put a large corps of men to work searching files of the last ten years to determine just how many securities had been taken and to find evidence, if possible, that some one had aided Wolf. Bank officials said Wolf admitted he was encouraged by brokers to plunge deeply into the markets in desperate efforts to win back his losses. He stole securities, it was charged, and put them up as margin.

‘Trader Horn’s’ Heroine Is Cleared in $50,000 Alienation Suit. B, y United Press LOS ANGELES, Sept. 3.—Edwina Booth, heroine of the motion picture “Trader Horn,” stood absolved today of the charge that she alienated the affections of Duncan Renaldo, young actor, during the filming of the picture in the African wilds. After Miss Booth denied in superior court that she carried on a love affair with Renaldo while they were in Africa, a decision in her favor was handed down in the $50,000 damage suit brought against her by Mrs. Suzette Renaldo, wife of the actor. Miss Booth, the only witness called, testified that her acquaintance with Renaldc was casual and that she did not know he was married and the father of a small son until she returned from Africa. She denied every charge of misconduct made by the actor’s wife. Mrs. Renaldo was said to be in

PRESS DRY LAW AS ISSUE FOR LEGION

Capitol Post to Support Convention Resolution for Repeal. BY FINLEY McGREW Campaign to make prohibition a leading issue at the national convention in Detroit is being pressed in letters to American Legion posts throughout the country. Although national executives successfully have surpressed official action on the legion’s attitude toward the Eighteenth amendment in the past, the fight still is being carried on. Victory post No. 4 of Washington, D. C., in a letter to Floyd L. Young, Indiana commander, has announced that it intends to support at the national gathering a resolution de-

manding that the amendment be repealed. Similar motions have been presented to past conventions, but in every case have been tabled. This summer. Ohio Legion officials sidestepped such a motion, saying: “The Legion drinks wet, thinks wet, and is wet. Get in any fight as individuals, but keep the Legion out of it % ” In the Illinois state convention, an anti-prohibition motion was tabled after a hot debate. The resolution sponsored by the Washington post points out that the Legion stands for the Constitution, and that the presence of an unpopular law has endangered “the perpetuation of law observance, of justice, temperance, freedom and the security of the homes.” It demands that the Eighteenth amendment be repealed “in the interests of real temperance and respect for law.”
