MEN ARRESTED WILL
HAVE HEARING TOMORROW
Government Officials Still lnvesti-
eating What They Term Huge
Conspiracy to Rob Merchants and
the Nine Accused Will Face Court
on Various Charged in the Big Game
CBy Associated Press.)


WASHINGTON. ID. C.. April 81
Preliminary hearing before a United
States commissioner for the nine per
sons arrested as result On the in
yestigation by the department of JUS
tice into the alleged jeweiry bankrupt
frauds has been set for April 30. The
alleged frauds upon various merchants
throughout the united States are esti-
mated at from 100000 to S2,000,000
1t Is alleged that the acts complain
ed OF not only violated the bank
ruptcy laws. but prosecution also
might lie under the conspiracy laws.
The methods of operations of the
defendants is thus described by the
department of Justice:
Method o. Operating.
What purported to be a legitimate
jewelry store was started and large
quantities of expensive jewelry were
obtained from firms In different parts
Of the country Shortly afterwards
the jewelry was removed from the
store and pretense was made of
shipping it 10 some other point for the
purpose of having a public sale. The
sale was duly advertised TO take place
st a given date.
"In the meantime the building to
which the jewelry was pretended TO
have been shipped, was destroyed by
fire, together with the packages pur-
porting to contain the jewelry In
Question. The parties then went into
bankruptcy and succeeded in Feliev-
ing themselves of all their financial
obligations. AT later date the Jewell
ry, which was supposed 10 have been
concealed. was shipped to another
part of the state and sold at greatly
reduced prices by parties connected
with the conspiracy.
1T also appears that in carrying
out these operations the parties in
volved have been guilty of perjury,
fraudulent use of the mails and pos
sibly of violation of other laws OF the
United States. Full evidence has
been obtained by the government re-
garding these violations of Jaw"
End Not in Sight.
Officials of the department intimate
that the end is not yet in sight. There
will be other arrests before the in
quiry. now under way, is completed.
Indictments of the persons arrested
are probable unjer the bankruptcy or
conspiracy laws and possibly, in some
instances. for perjury.
Business establishments in Mont
gomery and in Greenville. Ala. are
mentioned in the reports coming to
the department as places where al
legged large jewelry stores were main
tanned where supplies accumulated
ard afterwards shifted to other parts
of the state
