7 Times In 7 Days Law's Hand Drops On Worthington
Chicago, March 3. John W Worthington head of the defunct American Banking association was arrested tonight for the seventh time in as many days. He left the detective bureau after bond was set and served with a federal warrant charging him with using the mails to defraud. The warrant parallels one against Harry H Thomas with which he is linked. In 1913 they allegedly posed as brokers and obtained stock and deposited funds from Central Savings Bank Waterloo Iowa. The assets are estimated at 3600 000 with liabilities undetermined. Assistant District Attorney Stansbury aims to have state charges dropped to avoid hampering federal prosecution.
