Miss Wanda Urbatis of Toledo,
who lias been held in connection
with the $85,000 Toledo mail rob
bery following the alleged confes
sion of the Rev. Anthony Gorck of
New Chicago, Ind., in which he de
clared the bonds were given him by
Miss Urbatis.

leged confession, in a chance meet
ing on a train near Englewood, a
suburb of Chicago,' several weeks

aid his starving parishioners caused
him to attempt to gain money from
the bonds. The bonds were traced
to the pastor after attempts to sell
some of the coupons from them had
been made in Chicago.
