Arrested as an Accomplic Persch was arrested on the strength of statements made by John Sherwood, another note broker, who was called to the. district attorney's office this morning. He sald that at Persch's re=. quest he procured the securities from the trust company after having ob- tained the 350,000 for the purpose from L. J. Fields & Co., dealers in curb stocks. He thought the transae- tion was entirely legitimate and was ready to act for a percentage. He ex- hibited orders from Persch to redeem the securities and to put them on the market. Three hundred dollars was paild to Fields & Co. for the use of the money. L. J. Fields of the firm maintained that their part in the af- fair was a regular business transace tion.

Augustus Heinze, placed ‘the securities. It is consid= ered coincidentally by the district at= torney’s office that Persch had his desk room in the offices of W. L. Clark, & note broker, who first directed Mr. Joyce to the Windsor Trust company for the purpose of obtaining the loan. District . Attorney Jerome took ae- tive charge of the case today and othe er arrests may be made tomorrow. Persch, according to the police, has been arrested twice before, once on & forgery charge, made at the request of his father, and another time in con= nection with taking subscriptions for an ice fund.
