Investigation Now Being Conduct of Affairs in the
Office of the Assistant Attorney
sve System of Blackmail Conducted Firm of
Lawyers in Washington Has Been Disclosed.

Matchmaking letter IN question. which had
been addressed to them.
The letters sent ont by the Washington
firms were practically identical IN all cases.
and stated that as the result of iuvestisa-
tions OF the Assistant Attorney Generals
Office the concern to which the letter was
addressed would soon be deprived OF the
use of the mails
This could be avoided. however. the letter
asserted. by the payment Of a retainer and
a contigent fee to the firm OF lawyers in
question. who were in a position TO 'Gx
things with the Assistant Attorney Gen
erals office so that the matter would be
dropped.
As most OF the concerns TO which letters
were addressed were doing a big business.
the retainer and contingent fees asked were
usually very large. The signer OF the Ie.-
ter named az reference a member Of the
House ot Representatives.
Il has been learned that in some cases the
proposition Of the arm OF lawyers was ac-
cepted and the money paid. In others. as
in the case OF the race-tipping and turf in
vcstment concerns now under investigation
or scheduled for inquiry. who employ the
best legal talent obtainable. they referred
the whole matter to First Assistant Post
master General wynne and this was the
principal reason for his order that an in
vestigation be made into the conduct OF the
Assistant Attorney Generals Office.

the officers against whom allegations were
