The alleged fraudulent operations
of the men as alleged by the postal

they divided the fee taken for the
supposed underwriting, which never

matured. The corporations were
given bonds at maturing periods all
the way from twenty to forty years.
In using the mails to circulate their
methods of doing business the alleged
fraudulent companies informed cor

that they could secure funds by call
