Boy Bookkeeper A Thief Guilty Plea in Keap Street Case
Samuel Wendel, 19, of Brooklyn pleaded guilty before Magistrate Noijan to forgery for his former employer Joseph Kameros at 44 East Ninth Street. Wendel held on 2000 bail. Joseph Aarent, 18, also held on 2000 bail for complicity. Detectives traced Wendel’s rise in wealth to a wealthy friend and a $1 discrepancy led to his capture after early flight to Bridgeport. Aarent admitted aiding Wendel and described joint motor trips and passing five ten dollar bills to longtime prisoners. Sir Herbert Tree postponed sailing and may remain in New York for more work and a fall return to the movies.
