 This group of male and female crooks has been oper ating from coast to coast believed cleaned up as much as s1OOOOOO by placing wealthy trevelers in compromising circumstances and then levyng black mail The money has been forced from the victims by threats of prosecution under this law mouths have been closed by fear of publicity is doubtful whether sufficient evidence be obtained guarantee the arrest and conviction many of the criminals
