SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 26 h. --Jnc.
A. Moor, for whose arrest on IA
charge of perjury warrant has
been issued, is understood to have
shaken the dust of San Francisco
from his feet to return no more.
Since the investigation of the
school scandal began he has re-
ceived many threatening letters,
some of which went so far as to as
sure him that his life was in dan
ger. These communications went
far to influence him not to tell all
he knew regarding the iniquitous
traffic in examination questions.
That he knows much more than he
has told is pretty generally believ-
ed, but it is also thought he will
never again appear before the COM
mittee.
One hundred and seventy seven
drunks were arrested on Christmas
Day.
