Statesville, II promoter of th yano oil bubble, who fleeced scores of friends and rel-| atives out of millions of dollars, died | last night in the state penitentiary} here. The promoter, who for years con- ducted his phantom financi tures so quietly and effective trusting relatives and friends begged | him to take their money when he went to prison a ago, that he did not expect to come out alive. His death occurred at 8:40 o'clock. | When Koretz was found last De- cember in Halifax, Nova Scotia, he was suffering from diabetes and when he was returned to Chicago and pleaded guilty to charges of operat-! ing a confidence game, his condition had grown much worse. Light Sentence Urged awyers urged that a light sentence be pronounced for this rea- son and doctors who examined him said it was doubtful if he could stand prison life. Wien he first went to the state prison he was given light duties in the prison yard but a few days ago his condition was such that he was placed in the prison hospital. He lapsed into unconsciousness early today, and prison officials, con- fident that he would be unable to survive, summoned his three brothers] from Chicago, They were with him when he died. His wife, whom he had requested be shielded as much as possible when he was arrested, and whom, for this | he was brought back to Chicago, was on her way to the prison from Chi- cacs when he died, Koretz died in the old prison which he entered December 5, he having n i tentiary. Warden John L. Whitman! said he would await the wishes of body, but expected that it would be taken to Chicago tomorrow, Fled With $2,000,000 Koretz fled from Chicago in De-' e . ~_'tion of smaller farms, with the cember 1923, a few days before his ovontful result that there will be Bayano oil bubble burst on the stu eee eae en this. terri, ned senses of relatives and friends who had invested their money in his project. With him in a little black satchel he took about $2,000,000 in! money and securities and behind him} he left a wife and two children in 1 Straitened circumstances and scores of friends, relatives and acquain- tances minus the two million that he! , took with him. {Only a day or two after he left a committee of businessmen who had, gone to Panama to investigate his rich oil lands in the Bayano river valley, many of them expecting to take responsible positions in a com- pany formed to promote the proje and all of them heavy investors in it, reported that there was no oil in the territory 1 FORMER BANK * "PRESIDENT IS ACQUITTED | Fargo, N.
