listed the aid Of the American Vigil
ance League. an organization which
was founded by the Rockefellers.
The establishment Of the resort was
placed In the hands Of Starr Murphy,
counsel and personal representative OF
John d. Rockefeller. sr. So carefully
did Mr. Murphy arrange for the house,
following every rule laid down by po-
lice and politicians with police influ-
ence, that not one Of them even sus-
pected they were being led into trap.
