New York, Oct est takes a
CRATER to catch a CRATER in the
United States customs service, says
William Loeb, Jr., collector OF the
port of New York, in an official
statement last night issued after
Judge Hollis opinion, to the con-
trary Notwithstanding. The four
weighers who confessed and testi-
fled in the trial of Philip Musica and
his elderly father, Antonio, cheese
importers, which was concluded yes
terday, are to hold their jobs along
with honest men.
Judge Holt of the United States
|circuit court before disposing of the
case yesterday, which resulted in
the elder mans acquittal and the
sons incarceration in the Tombs for
sentence, denounced the retention
of the four weighers as discredit
to the government and an injustice
to the honest men in the service. Mr..
Loeb quickly said in reply:
The views of such a distinguish
ed judge are entitled to the highest
respect, and it is not my purpose to
make them subject of controversy
but it seems to me that Judge Holt
can hardly understand the situation
with which the administration had
to deal.
ct was deemed imperative to
break into this combination to get
the truth from somebody on the side
who knew; to get in an entering
wedge and break down the system.
1t was then decided to secure testi-
mony of several weighers by prom
ising them immunities and reten-
ton in the service.
