The Pension Sharks.

1t would make the blood of any Ordn-
airy sensitive person boil in his veins,
writes a Washington correspondent, to
stand an hour in the office of Dist-Atty.
Corkhill reading the letters which he is
receiving from all over the country
containing the complaints of persons
who have been victimized by swindling
pension attorneys. He receives a great
stack Of them every day, and every fresh
lot reveals the names of hitherto unknown
firms engaged in this nefarious business.
The letters are mostly from extremely ill
iterate men and women living away off in
the country, in Texas, California, Mich
igan, Ohio, Illinois, New York-in fact,
nearly every State, but principally from
towns in the western states. The stories
told are monotonously painful. They
have been enticed by lying circulars to
send their papers to attorneys who have
bled them Of dollar after dollar, leading
them on by stimulating promises, until it
was found that no more money could be
exactedi Then they were informed that
their claims had been rejected, or that
efforts 10 have them allowed would be
suspended until further remittances were
received.
