NO. 300 Bank Official, Held for Emboz- zlement, Was Known as "Easy Mark" WIFE WEEPS BITTERLY IN CITY HALL CELLROOM Prisoner Near Collapse and Doctor Is Called in to Attend Him "Bookies" who ore wild to hayo got logo sums from Charles L. Toomoy. an assistant secretary of tho Fidelity Trust Co., will bo forcod to dlsgorgo their winnings if a way can bo found to do this legally. Toomey, arrested in a bnrbcr shop yesterday on a chargo ot embezzlement , horn tho trust company, and held under $25,000 ball for court by Magistrate Mecleary at City Hall, was still in tho ' cellroora of Central Station today, while his brother, Richard Toomcy, hurried about town trying to get bail. Tiuhhw'b wifo visited him this morn ing she was admitted to the ccllroom and sat beyond tho outer set o bars which surround tno prisoners' cage, a. chair was placed for her, and her hus band leaned 'against tho bars of his cago to get as near her as ho could. For nearly an hour the wifo sat thcro talking with her husband in low tones. Both sobbed brokenly, but what they said to each other could not bo heard. Toomoy was without collar and somo what disheveled. His wifo, a good looking woman ncaring middle age, with hair just streaked with gray, was dressed In Alice bluo silk and woro a Itco hat. Spent Restless Night After her Interview Mrs. Toomey left tho cellroom accompanied by another woman, who had brought her to sec the prisoner, and who was said to be Toomey'e sister-in-law. After the visit Mrs. Toomey was joined in City Hall courtyard by Richard Toomey. Toomey spent a restless night. Ho paced un and down nervously in the small cell. This morning he was almost on the point of collapse. So ill did ho tceni to bo that Dr. John gan, one of the police surgeons, was sent for and prescribed for him. The exact amount of Toomey's alleged peculations has not been disclosed by the trust company. In tho warrant on which he was arrested this total was set at "upwards of-$300,000," but at the hearing Harold B. Beitlcr, counsel for the company, nam lie naa reason to dc- llcvc from later investigations that the amount would prove to' be' mncb smaller than that Earned. The plan to force the bookmakers to Say back tho money they are said to avc won from Toomey, ,bas been dis cussed by city detectives and tho bank officials. Detective Joseph Le Strange, who made the arrest on a warrant sworn out by William P. Gcst, president of the romnpany, will confer with Mr. Bcitlcr on thin aspect of tho case. So far us it bus been possible for tho Investigators to learn, tho accused bank official told tho truth when he said that he had lost all the money he had taken either on the races or by gambling in ono form or uuothcr. May Probe Big Gamblers The arrest brings to light activities of big gamblers in Philadelphia, and may lead to widespread prosecutions. Every gambler in the city is waiting anxiously for developments in tho case and won dering whether ita ramifications will in volve him. Apparently Toomcy did his business with the "big fellows." At least, this is what the smaller gamblers who make their headquarters in tho shadow of City nan say. They scarcely Know mm, most ot them aver. Those who did know ' him, however, say he was a "bucker" of the first water, always easy to "trim," and ever eager to come back for more of the same medicine. The majority of the gamblers declare, however, that they did not know him nt nil, and would have bid eagerly for his bets, had they been familiar with his gambling proclivities. "He must havo been the customer of norno of tho big bookies," bald one of the gambling frnternlty today, "ne probably did business with tho big fel lows who send their agents around to do business in the bankers' offices." Cards and Dice Habitues ot some of thn pool rooms In town said thev knew Toomoy well. and that he lost money on "Honest John" oh well as on dice nnd horses The game of "Honest John," played with cards, was introduced into many of tho gambling houses here, their pro pi irtors being anxious to get all they ould while "tho getting wus good," In the belief that with tho ending of tho Smith administration tho gambling bouses would be closed up. Men who said they knew Toomey as a froquonter of theso places de clared they had known him to lose heavily nt this game, but that ho nl wavs paid his lobses "on tho nail," and that his checks were gilt-edged.

A "closq-up" of the threatened striko of th.o anthracite coal miners does not en courage the view that It will bo a gen eral one. It thcro should bo a walkont it will bo in tho nature- of an "outlaw" striko. It will bo In every particular n repeti tion hero in tho hard-coal' fields ot tho famous "outlaw" striko of tho Chi cago railroad switchmen some months ngo. Thcro are over 120,000 miners in tho anthroclto regions. Of this number It is said that not less than 10,000 nnd not moro than 20,000 will lay down their tools. This statement is based on first-hand observations of those residents here who are familiar with conditions. It la wholly unbiased, nnd I regard it as reliable. The situation presents nn odd mixturo of radicalism, restlessness and revenge. It largely harks back to fac tional jealousies among certain of tho miners' leaders. Chargo Attempt to '"Get Even" While there certainly is dissatisfac tion with tho award of 17 per cent ad vnnco to tho men by President Wilson's nnthrnclte coal commission, it is not tho only factor that Is contributing to, the threats "of n walkout and a closing of the mines. Tho repudiation, by a certain cle ment among tho miners, of tho union officials is not, I am assured, so much a protest 'against the constituted au thority of tho United Mine Workers as It is an attempt of certain dissatisfied and disappointed leaders to "get even." Incidentally and knowingly or un knowingly the Insurgent leaders, it would... appear, nro .playing. ,into tho hands ot the Operators.
