PONZI SENTENCED TO FIVE YEARS ON A PLEA OF GUILTY Dramatic Ending of Boston "Finan cial Wizard's Career?A Fas tidious Criminal t Boston, Nov. 30.?Charles Ponzi, promoter of the get-rich-quick scheme in which thousands of per sons invested millions of dollars be fore it collapsed last August,. plead ed guilty to using the mails in a scheme to defraud in the federal district court otday.' Sentence of five years in the Ply mouth county jail ^was imposed . by Judge Hale. The court took into con sideration only the first count of one indictment of 43 counts in which it was charged that Ponzi had repre | sented falsely that he was able to pay interest at the rate of 50 per : cent in 45 days from profits made in international postal reply coupons. In 'arguing on the question of sen tence, Daniel H. Oakley,\ senior j counsel for Ponzi told the court that | it was only after advice from coun sel and members of the discredited financier's family that he agreed to retract his plea of not guilty and plead guilty instead. "Mr. Ponzi in sisted, and still insists, that there was in his mind no intent to de fraud any one," his counsel de clared. The little Italian, who, with prison sentences in Canada and this coun | try behind him, developed his sup j posed scheme of exchange in inter | national postal reply coupons to pro | portions that made him a marked j figure in finance, only ,to haVe his I house of 6asy money topple over on him when the props of income from ! investors were pulled out, had an air of swagger when he faced the court'. Hywas the same dapper man about-town when he stepped. from the Cambridge jail this morning as in the days when he was the idol of the street crowds. A new tailored suit, smaxl cravat, handkerchief in j breast pocket and feet adorned with I spats made Ponzi again a man of | presence. As he faced another prison sen ! tence while his youthful wife sobbed ! on his shoulder he penciled on a j memorandum book his parting wor^ jjfo the public'."sic transit gloria | mundi" (thus passes the glory of the j world) and handed it to the press. When he went up to the bench to plead a moment later he was em phatic when he said "I do" to the clerks question whether he wished to change his plea of guilty, and was equallyasserative as. he made the plea "guilty" in loud tones in the I next breatn. men ronzi leanea over j resting his head on his arm, while he listened to his counsel's plea for a light sentence. Ponzi will begin his sentece at the county jail in Plymouth with 85 counts of the federal indictments against him on file, and with charges j ( of larceny in many counts outstand ing against him in the state courts. He is due also to face his creditors, of whom there are more than 11, 000, on December 8 when he will be ^ subject to their interrogations as to ^ what he did with the millions en- t trusted to him, of which his federal ? receivers have been able to re- ] trieve only a smart part. j j STOLEN AMERICAN ?
