stupendous proportions Of that now being
made in the government case here. Wit
nesses from d dozen states began to arrive
today to testify before the federal grand

1t is announced that a large corps OF secret

locate them. These secret service men
have, 1t is stated, secured from the wit

were used as dummies in scheduling the
lots, and that they knew nothing of the
use Of their names until asked within the

reported to lave signed the deeds. while
