MORE FLAGRANT THAN BEF ORE.
Fresh Pension Frauds Cnearthed b.
The Second Auditor.

WASHINGTON, November 1.-THE report
of Second Auditor Ferris and its considera-
ton by Attorney General Brewster has led
to another branch OF investigations in con-
nection with the swindling OF soldiers by
claim agents. The District Attor-
ney ditcCvered that number OF
firms here have issued circulars soliciting
claims for additional bounty, and asking
and accepting fees in advance for the pre-
tended prosecuting of this class Of claims.
The fraud arose from the fact that the time
for filing these claims expired under the
aw OF June 80, 1850. Since that time the
Second Auditor has not received them.
The practice of the firms now found to
have been engaged in the business
has been to accept these cases take fees
and stock applications away in their office.
Ii those who had placed claims for addi-
tioual bounty in the hands Of agents since
uer Corkbill here 1t Will materially HsSIsl
in the legal investigation.
