they also had received similar letters.
None of the recipients of these letters
took any action. except Mr.. Coffin. who
communicated with the postal authori-
ties and also with Maj Sylvester. super
intendent of police.
That the Spanish swindle game has
become gigantic scheme In this
country is shown by the fact that the
Post ONCE Department has printed
circular letter and uses a rubber stamp
for the signature in replying to per-
sons who communicate with the de-
partment as to the swindle.
In the letter received by Mr.. Coffin
from the postal authorities it Is stated
that under the Spanish laws a felony
must be consummated before the police
may act. and a mere attempt to OBJ
tain money by false pretenses does
not warrant arrest
THE money must be paid over, and the
prosecuting witness must be present in
person to testify, otherwise prosecution
would be useless under the Spanish laws.
