At the time Bon'?1 gave himself up a hearing was being held befo.e the judge of the munlcipn1 court, who was sitting in chambers c n police application for tho arrest of the nuan cier. The hearing was secret. A creditors' petition asking for the appointment of a receiver for Ponzl was filed In tho F?deral Court to day. Ponzl halted in the midst of his sensational financinl career to-day to rest and recover from the nervous strain caused by the events of the past few days. The man whose "50 per cent in 4 5 days" investment pro position has boen under Investigation by Federal and State officials, and whose principal known depository, the Hanover Trust Company, was closed yesterday by Bank Commis sioner Joseph A. Allen, retired to his home at Lexington and denied himself to all callers. "My nerves can't last forever," Mr. Ponzl said. "I've got to have rest. I am not going to give out any moro statements for a while. I am going to keep away from people-I am not even going down-town." Bank Commissioner Allen announ ced this afternoon that the capital of the Hanover Trust Company has probably been completely wiped out. The bank was closed yesterday by the commissioner. Ponzl had been a director up to that time. Ponzl was arrested this afternoon by the Federal authorities, the charge against him being that of using the mails to defraud. After his arrest Ponzl issued tho following statement: "I had an agreement with tho dis trict attorney to go to-morrow nul meet my liabilities with cash. With the closing of the Hanover Trust Co. and with other funds tied up. T find myself unable to do so. I felt it my duty to tell him, and to ask him to detain me." Salved Alabama Girl from Death, ^.lanta. Ga., AUK. 12. . Charles Ponzi. of Boston, who admitted he had served a term in the Atlanta Federal penitentiary.. worked lu the office of tho record keeper while in the penitentiary here and was noted for his quickness at figures and for his various plans to make money when he got opportunity, according to A. C. Alderhold, who is the record keeper at the Federal institution. Alderhold said he could not posi tively identify Ponzi wjlthrttlt the Bertillion measurements, but he felt convinced that he was the same man from the pictures and descriptions of him. Ile described how Ponzi gave skin from his leg to save a young woman in Alabama after he was re leased from the Federal prison. "We never had a man who was more help to us in the office," Aider hold stated, "I never knew him to he rattled or flustered, and he never made a mistake. He was always con cocting some peculiar scheme to make money. "One of the finest things he did was after he was released from the prison in 1912. He went to a little mining town in Alabama by the name of Blocton, and the people In that town will never forget him for the deed which he did there to save tho life of a young nurse. The young lady had been badly burned by tho j explosion of a gasoline stove, and the doctors decided that the only way to save her life was to graft skin on the burned placo. Ponzl volunteered to let the doctors take skin from his body, and 7 2 inches were removed from his thighs. ?He came out of the hospital two weeks later and the doctors came to him and said that more skin would be necessary. He did not hestltato a moment, but al lowed them to take 50 moro Inches, that time from his back. Citizens of Brocton endeavored to bring the matter before tho Carnegie Hero I Commission, but nothing ever came of the matter, I believe."
