S LOST Charles F.Gondolf Charged with Havi.ig Some of Them. Bonds Specified Are 85 Out of 200 That Were Missing-Complaint Stat ed That These Bonds Were Nego tiated by the New Amsterdam Bank For Accused Sept. 23, 1906. New York, April 23. Charles F. flondolf, who was arrested last week during search for the missing bonds believed to have been taken by Will lam F. Walker, the fugitive treasurer of the savings bank of New Britain, Conn., was held in $20,000 bail for trial in police court. Gondolf was arrested last Thurs day and held In $20,000 bail for exam ination. An effort was made by his lawyer to get him out on ball, but the district attorney objected to the secur ities offered. When brought before a magistrate yesterday Gondolf was confronted with a complaint signed by Charles B. Oldershaw, secretary of the New Britain bank, charging him with hav ing in his possession stolen bonds to the amount of $85,000, knowing them to have been stolen. The only wit nesses examined were Mr. Oldershaw and Charles H. Noble, bank commis sioner of Connecticut, who made an examination of the New Britain bank on Aug. 1. 190G, and again In the early part of March, 1907. Mr. Oldershaw said he had made a statement of the bonds held by the bank on Aug. 1, 1900, but had not seen the bonds mentioned in the com plaint since June 1 of that year, when the coupons were payable. He was not sure that they were In the bank vaults after June 1, but knew they were gone on Feb. 12, 1907, when the disappearance of the bonds was noted, three days after Walker disap peared. Mr. Oldershaw testified fur ther that bonds in the New Britain bank were In the custody of .Walker. They were kept in a vault and no one except Walker knew the combination, so far as he was aware. He said there was another copy of the combination In a sealed envelope in the possession of the president of the bank but this had never been open ed to his knowledge. Walker, he said, was responsible for all the securities In the possession of the bank. The bonds specified in the complaint were 85 out of 200 that were missing from the bank vaults. They represent ed a par value of $85,000, but are said to have been worth more than that. The complaint stated that these bonds were negotiated by the New Amster dam bank for Gondolf on Sept. 23, 1906. Officials of the New Amsterdam bank were in court to Identify Gon dolf as the man who brought them to the bank but they were not called to the stand, as Gondolf's lawyer waived examination. Bank Examiner Noble testified to having gone over the securities of the bank on Aug. 1, 1906, but took no memorandum of the numbers of the bonds so they could be Identified by him. He said he took the list made out by tho bank and simply checked it oft, making n personal examination of each security to see that It was really on hand. He did not take down the numbers hut said there were bonds of the Chicago, St. Paul & Omaha 6 per cents In the bank at the time. He was not prepared to say that the bonds re ported missing were the same ones he checked off. At the conclusion of Noble's testi mony Gondolf was held In $20,000 bail for trial. In making out the formal complaint, Gondolf refused to answer any questions. Ho was returned to prison in default of bail. Portion of Missing Bonds Recovered. New York, April 23.
