By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, February 11.—Com- plaints of victimized investors, from widows and policemen to =actresses and janitors, continwed to flood the office of District Attorney Banton to- | day in his investigation of alleged bucket-shop brokerage firms. Prosecuting. officials announced that two grand juries would be sum- moned to begin consideration of the thirty cases already prepared. It was stated that probably 100,000 per- sons had been swindled last year of sums aggregating upward of $50,- 000,000. From fifty to sixty complaints have been received from clients of the thirty firms against whom chafges are being drawn. Indictments will | be sought upon only the most serious charges. Among the scores of disappointed investors who swarmed the district attorney’s office was a janitress, who | said she gave a brokerage firm $1,900 to invest in bonds for her, only to discover that her money had been checked out for salaries and office expenses. When she demanded an ac- counting the firm faliled. A widow with three children, who lost her savings, said she had con- templated suicide when she saw the wife of a broker who had fleeced her gorgeously clothed and riding in a limousine.. A policeman reported a bucket- shop scout had prevailed upon him to sell $3,000 of dividend-paying stock and invest the money with his firm on a promise of 14 to 15 per cent re- turns. He lost it all, he said. —_— KISSERS BARRED IN COURT Judge Halts Fervor of Woman Friends of Mrs. Obenchain. LOS ANGELES, Calif., February 11. {1 —Mrs. Madalynne Obenchain, charged with the murder of J. Belton Ken- nedy, will not be permitted to con- verse ‘with woman friends and well wishers in court in the presence of the jury when her trial is resumed next Tuesday morning, it was an- nounced today. On complaint of prosecutors, who asserted the grouping of women | about her, some of whom have been observed kissing her, was likely to prejudice the jury, Judge Sidney N. Reeve, presiding in the trial, ordered the bailiff to forbid such conduct and to “escort Mrs. Obenchain from the room promptly at adjournments and recesses. ‘The prosecution announced Willlam Laughlin would be the first witness called Tuesday. Laughlin is an em- ploye of a telegraph company and is scheduled to testify regarding tele- grams alleged to have been ex- changed between Mrs. Obenchain and her co-defendant, Arthur S. Burch, while she was in Los Angeles and he was in Chicago. WOULD BAR FOSTER SON. Adopted by American Merchant, | Chinese Boy Sought Entry. NEW YORK, February 11—Judge Learned Hand was called upon_in Tnited States district court yesterday to decide whether a_native Chinese boy, adopted son of an American- born Chinese merchant, could enter this country without violating the Chinese exciusion_act. The boy, Shue Quey, fourteen, was adopted several years ago by Bang Tong Leung, an importer, who was born in America. Last fall Shue slipped into Seattle and made his way here to join his foster father. Immigration authorities refused to permit the boy to enter New York, however, placing him in the Ellis Is. land detention pen to await deporta- tion, To admit him, they assert, would be to violate the Chinese exclusion t.
