Levi Mayer, a Chicago lawyer, who {a personal attorney for Mrs. Frank Vogel and the Nelson Morria fam- of which she 2 a member, said Henry Siegel, have raised and de- posited In the store of Siegel, Cooper & Co., Chicago, $1,000,000 to inaure the financial integrity, of that establish. ment. This Chicago store is one of the chain of Siegel establishments in the Siegel Btores Corporation, 3,600 shares of which were deposited in the vault of the defunct bank of Henry Siegel & Co. as security for the depos! These shares are nuw in the hands of Henry Molville, receiver of the bank, and there bas been grave doubt in the minds of the depositors and Ree ti pas OLY 4, tele value, THE DEPOSITORS. “The placing of this monay in tho Chicago house,” Mr. Mayer said, “gives substantial value to the shares of the Siegel Stores Corporation this loan is only to be repaid to the packers after all claims of the mer- cantile creditors and of the depositors have been satisfied. “Bo far as the been raised in Chicago by the friends of Mr, Vogel and Mr. Siegel is oon- cerned, I would like to state that this amount is not to be offered to credi- tora contingent upon the release of the two men, as has been reported. It will be paid to the depositors pro- vided Siegel and Vogel are not perse- cuted.” When Mr. Mayer was asked what he meant by “persecuted” he deolined to give his definition, “The $225,000 raised in Mr. Vogel's behalf was raised by Mra. Neilson Morris,” he eaid. “Mr, Vogel's wife is a alster of the late Neleon Morris and it was Mra, Morria‘s efforts alone that brought about the subscription.” Although Mr. Mayer did not define “persecuted,” it is believed that he meant that the $460,000 would not be forthcoming if Siegel and Vogel were to be so placed by the law as to be unable to make the money necessary to pay off so large @ loan, Mr. Mayer will remain in this city several days, and said he would prob- ably call upon District-Attorney Whitman before returning to Chi- cago, UNDER SEARCHING QUESTIONS VOGEL FALTERS. Frank E. Vogel, the partner of Henry Siegel, appeared to-day before United States Commisdoner Gilchrist to answer searching questions as to the business and financial methods of the much involved Siegel enterprises. The questioning was done by William H. Bonynge, of Olcott, Gruber, Ho- nynge & McManus, attorneys for a group of depositors in the Henry Biegel @ Co. Bank. Mr. Vogel spoke in eo low a voice as to be scarcely audible three feet away, and constantly wiped his lips and eyes with bis handkerchief.
