says the letter in reality constitutes .
violation of the criminal code Of tho
state Of New York. because It is a de-
vice to gain money by false pretenses.
He bases this opinion upon the fact
that the writer's Of the letter are
plainly trying to scare moneyed men
into contributing by setting up tho
charge that Col. Roosevelt Is trying to
secure the recall Of the justices of the
United States Supreme court and their
decisions, to break down the constitu-
ton of the United States and to de-
stroy the government.
AS Col. Roosevelt's treatment of the
recall question, as far as the courts
are concerned, has been confined dis
tinctly to state courts and then only
to certain well defined cases. Mr.. Pin
chot believes this makes the letter q
direct violation of the New York
penal code as expressed IN Section
1890. covering the offense OF securing
money by false preterses. However.
as it is likely that the recipients Of
the letter were perfectly willing to BE-
scared about Col. Roosevelt, it is not
probable that any of them will seek
to prosecute the members Of the
money raising committee.
