Attorney General Bonaparte made this

dangers of federal prosecution today than

The department since / have been at

enforce laws without a very careful pre-
liminary investigation TO determine
whether there was good reason to believe
that the laws had In fact been violated.
Moreover, IL has consistently and fire.
