Hollander. sole member or nie iii-in
iof Alexander Hollander & Co., cus-
toms brokers, Plnaded guilty in the
Umted States Circuit Court this nf-
ternoon to a charge of forgery in
connection with customs frauds ag-
_EWSM-ing $500,000. He was arrested
"1 N8Ples last July and after q long
fight was brought back to this city
in December.
Hollander was sentenced this after-
iioon to fifteen months’ imprisonment'
in the federal prison mt Atlanta. The
sentence was comparatively iight and
so passed in view of the p_risoner's
age and Plea of guilty.
When Hollander, who is 5 native of

business career in Germany, I}nglan»d
and New York, was discovered de-
frauding both the government and

\>€C Betting forth that the bearer,
Jacques Borhomme, was a resident
Of Quebec and 5 British subject. He
fought extradition through all the
Courts of Italy. but gave up the iight
and was brought before the federal
courts h-ere.
_The first specific charge against
him was based on n customs entry of
an automobile for Henry Clews, the
banker. Hollander, as customs brok-
er. entered the machine at the .cus-
toms' at a valuation of $850, but`
charred Mi~_. ciews duty on $1.850.
An examination showed that Hol-
lander had been doing busiiniss in the
Same Way for years, among his
_clients_being J. P. Morgan, Andrew-
Carnegie and other millionaires, for
whom he acted as agent in the im-
l10Ftation of various objects of art.
Hollander was 3, member of exclusive
clubs and lived among the wealthy.
