. BROKER AGGUSED INBUCKET CAARGE Embezzlement Count Follow- ed by Second—Aides In- volved in U. S. Inquiry. Conspiracy to violate the bucket shop law is charged in a warrant issued to- day by U. S. Commissioner Needham C. Turnage against Benjamin R. Buck, trading as Buck & Co., investment broker in the Evans Building, Miss Edith C. Freas, said to be his treasurer, and Harry Williams and Michael Drain, said to have been in Buck's employ. The accused were taken before Commissioner, where U. S. Attorney Leo A. Rover and Assistant U. 8. torney William A. Gallagher asked for a bond of $5000 in each case. Buck is already under a bond of $10,000 on a charge of embezzlement. Overt Acts Charged. The overt acts charged against the | accused and set out in the warrant are that Buck maintained an office in the Evans Building July 1, 1929; that Miss Preas wrote a letter to Z. Asbury Gill of Rehoboth Church, Va., July 6. 1929 that Drain wrote a letter to E. C. Ter- rell at Beaver Dam, Va. March 15, 1020, and that Williams wrote to Ter- rell February 28, 1929, and sent a tele- gram to him November 12, 1928. The alleged correspondence is de- clared to have been in furtherance of an alleged conspiracy to secure the per- sons named to send to Buck & Co. money to be invested in stocks. Intentions Attacked. The claim will be made by the prose- cution that the accused had no in- tention of buying the stocks for delivery. but intended to convert the money to their own use and to give only book- keeping credits for it. Both Willlams and Drain were taken into custody by Deputy United States Marshals Clarkson and Cerimile at Drain’s apartment in the 1400 block of W street. Miss Preas has not yet been located. chinn; i:nvuy leneh;; U. S. SAN FRANCISCO, October 17 (#).— En-Sai Tai, Chinese Ambassador to Brazil, arrived here yesterday en route to his post.
