PENSION FRAUDs.
The following letter from the Attorney
General explains itself: "Under instruc-
tions from him, Colonel Corkhill, United
States District Attorney, has nearly COM
pleted a number of cases of frauds upon
pension claimants for action by thegrand
Jury. He has reserved q large number
of fraudulent circulars and letters ex-
planning the use of them. He is DESTROYS
copies of such circulars or any knowledge
of such attempted frauds will at once
send him full information, and be par
ticular to send the number by which the
claim in each case is known at the pen
sion Office"
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, WASHINGTON,
November ITO the Secretary of the
Interior: Referring to your letter of the
I'd, respecting the appointment by the
Commissioner of Pensions of a person to
aid the U. S. District Attorney of this
district in the investigation of all claims
for pensions and bounties in connection
with which charges are made against
attorneys, and to examine such cases as
the District Attorney shall desire to pre-
sent the grand jury, ! agree with
you that such appointment cannot
be made to cover examinations
where the offenses charged are
not offenses against the United States,
but the District Attorney, in his letter to
you includes cases where these pension
agents make fraudulent applications to
the pension Office. 1t is we'll known the
claims they present are fraudulent. This
is an offense against the United States.
So far as the District Attorney makes the
charge of crime against the United States
he should be aided in the examination of
such cases by an officer of the pension
bureau specially detailed for that pur-
pose. The evil set forth by the District
Attorney is a growing one, and all means
that al legally be employed to
suppress it ought to be put
in motion. To that end permit me to
send to you advance proof sheets of the
Second Auditors report, which discloses
a frightful condition of organized fraud
against the poor and helpless, who either
have served their country themselves and
live manned and broken down in health,
or who have left destitute widows and
children, all of whom are now victims Of
these designing bad men who rob them of
their little savings and earnings under
color of gains they are never to have and
overload public officers with work that
hinders the necessary progress of their
proper business. If this can be put an
end to by the intervention of the officers
of the United States, if this can be pun
ished, it ought to be.
