‘GET-RICH-QUICK’ GENIUS HAS HIS PAROLE SPIKED Jack Bernstein to Serve 2 to 14-Year Term for Embezzlement. Shade of that master of high finance, the fabulous “Qet-Rieh-Quick Wallingford,” walked in the Marion criminal court late Wednesday, when the man of an alleged dozen aliases and a million ideas, Jack Bernstein, had his suspended sentence of two to fourteen yc-rs revoked by Judge Frank Baker. Testimony of a score of witnesses brought from all parts of the state indicated to Judge Baker that Bernstein could give ‘‘cards and spades” to the easy-wealth maestro and fctfil beat him. The parole revocation hearing was held as a result of a grand jury indictment charging that Bernstein embezzled S4OO from the Commercial Auctioneers, Inc., of which he had been president. Sentence Enforceable Because the suspended sentence passed on him in January, 1930, of two to fourteen years, still was enforceable, Judge Baker ordered the hearing. Four fruit growers from Decker, Ind., testified that Bernstein, representing himself to be a buyer for the Kroger Grocery and Baking Company, had ordered hundreds of bushels and railroad carloads of peaches shipped over the country. Another said that upon Bernstein’s unguaranteed order, he had shipped a carload of watermelons to one point, and learned afterward that it had been diverted to another city. Knew Nothing “What did you know about this Bernstein to cause you to send the carloads on his say-so?” Judge Baker asked. “Oh, nothing,” was the answer. ”He just came in and introduced himself, and when I looked at him sort of doubtfully he said: “Oh, just call me Jackie!” Other witnesses charged that Bernstein, while auctioning off a fur stock in Ft. Wayne, had obtained some silver fox furs for his wife. Still another man from Ft. Wayne asserted Bernstein had pocketed the proceeds from a furniture auction. Here in Indianapolis he had obtained a car, traded it in for a bigger one and his firm did not know of his deals, witnesses said. Collected for Ads Testimony disclosed that he collected money for purported auction sale advertisements which never were printed. Judge Baker read from the record to show that Bernstein was known and wanted in Milwaukee, Kansas City and other cities as Tommy Burns, John Kelley, Jack Silberlein and a score of other names. Bernstein denied the charges and declared that he was the victim of a conspiracy on the part of a former partner, Abe Greenwald. “Ever since my conviction a year ago I have been pursued by every one,” lie said. ‘‘Give them my poupd of flesh,” he cried to Baker.

At an auction Tuesday, the best offer—from a fertilizer manufacturer —was $1 a ton, or $lO for the giant pachyderm. Salemites who have grown fond of the once-proud star of the A1 G. Barnes circus, were anxious today to see whether an exhibitor would buy Tusko, or whether he would go to someone who planned to kill him.
