JURY is SITTING
BANKERS CHARGE
Inquiry Begun Into Alleged Re-
lation of Federal Officials
and Lewinsohn.

Chicago. ILL.,, Jan. 24.-Inquiry by a
grand jury into the insinuations and
charges circulating about the federal
building that various government Off
cials have received bribes in the past
from "SoF' Lewinsohn, missing private
banker. was begun yesterday under the
direction of Assistant United States
District Attorney David d. Stansbury.
In the course of the day all the rela-
tives of Jac+s-Ss4nasou;-<ne pugilist,
were taken to the grand jury room for
Interrogation concerning the charges
that Johnson transferred $25,000 to
Lewinsohn 15 months ago when arrest
ed by the United States authorities.
Barney Furey, the pugilist's former
trainer, and other persons connected
with him during his ring career, also
were summoned as witnesses. Part of
the testimony offered is said to have
concerned the official actions of Charles
F. De Woody, investigator of the Unit
ed States department of justice, in
bringing about the arrest of Johnson
when he was fleeing to Canada for the
first time.
When the grand jury meets again
Monday an inquiry will be started into
the part Mr.. De Woody played in bring
ing about the arrest of sid" McHie
two years ago during the activities of
the government against bucket shop
operations.
Another feature of the investigation
will relate to the charges that a sys-
tenn of 1lackmail has obtained in con-
nection with the governments inter
ests in many of the cases. These
charges, however, are vague and un-
certain so far, and one of the aims of
the assistant district attorney is to
trace them to their source.
District Attorney Wilkerson denied
yesterday that he had boycotted Unit
ed States Commissioner Mark A Foote.
The latter bad complained in public
statement that he was compelled to
borrow money from Lewinsohn.
