NEW YORK, </P> — Two men

clerks.
The pair held up a dozen cus

Carrying four diamond-set
pieces, the robbers dashed into

Irving Bitz, 46-year-old circu

two withdrew from the Lindbergh
baby hunt the following April 23.
The six, booked after all-night
questioning by district attorney
Frank S. Hogan and aides, denied
in the lineup that they participat
ed in the alleged racket.
Nine persons were arrested
Monday in New Jersey and Cin

previously.
The cheating was done by man

totals of the Cincinnati, Ohio,
clearing house association.
Dennison Duble, secretary of
the association, was reported to !
have admitted he had juggled the
figures for a year and a half so

their pennies dimes nad dollars.
One of the prisoners, Anthony
Strollo, alias Tony Bender, was
described by New York county
district attorney Frank S. Hogan,
as "one of the top underworld fig
ures in the east."
