NEW YORK. Oct. 2i.-—An Ameri-
can beiicvcd to be Joseph Kliior-
an, is under arrest ill Vienna. charg-
recclltly stole 20,000 crowns from a Vi-
enna bank. it was announced today
at the Austrian Consulate here that
owing to the boldness of the robbery
which occurred during working hours
and the belief of the Vienna police
that the man under arrest is backed
by powerful friends botll iii the United
States aild in Europe, the Austrian
authorities have quietly sent to the
police of several American cities for
descriptions, pictures and records of
Joseph Killoruli and are searching in
nearly every European capitol for evi-
dence against the suspected confeder-
atcs of their prisoner. ,
The robbery which Killoran is al-
legcd to have committed recently ill
Vienna was entirely in keeping with
his record for during expllois lil this
country. The American, it. was slated
today at. the Austrian consulate, on-
tered the bank during one of the busy
hours of the. day and entered into
conversation with depositor of the
bank who had just taken 20.000
crowns to the cashier's window. Dur-
ing this conversation the money dis-
appeared. The Vienna police say that
the American had confoderates in the
rooln who took the money while be
occupied lis owner‘s attention. When
arrested the. mail gave the name of
James Howard. which thc Vienna po-
llcc say is fictitious. The amount
stolen is equal to about $4,000.
