CASH BAIL IN THE FRAUDS CASE Resigned His Position Only Day Before Indictment Was Returned. OTHERS INCLUDED. NEW YORK. Nov. 12. After months of quiet work behind the scenes by the government investigators who have been scrutinizing the ins and outs of the complicated sugar import frauds, there came suddenly today the indictment and arrest of an Important former officer of the Amer ican Sugar Refining company, charged with conspiracy to defraud the gov ernment by false weighing of sugar. The man arrested Is Jumes K. Hen dcrnngcl, for more than thirty years superintendent of the Havemeyer and Kider refinery in WIlllHlnsburg, the largest plant of the American Sugar Refining company. It was regarded us significant that Hendernagel's res ignation from this responsible pqsi tion was announced by the company only yesterday. When arraigned before United States Commissioner Benedict and asked to give $5,000 bail for his ap pearance at an examination set -for next Monday, he produced a roll of bills from a waistcoat pocket and counted out the required amount. The Indictment returned against him is of the blanket variety, and includes the following as the so-called "big six:" Spltzer. Thomas, Kehoe. Edward A. Boyle, Jean M. Voelker, John R. Coyle and Patrick J. Hen nessey, all of whom have been pre viously Indicted on similar charges. At one point the Indictment relates the old charges made sgalnst four members of the so-called "big six" elleglng the use of fraudulent devices on the scales used at. the docks to short weigh sugar for tbt purpose of aiding customs'charges. It was In connection wfth these eharget that the government last spring recovered $2,115,000 in duties and penalties. Today another large sugar Import ing concern, the Arbuekle Brothers company, began negotiations for the purpose of paying Into the United Slates treasury duties on sugar Im j porta which ths government authori ties claim should have been paid on past weighments.
