Il was offered $5 a gallon on all liquor taken out of Massachusetts bond ed warehouses on New York permits, which would be diverted for beverage purposes to various parts of New Eng land, but where liquors were withdrawn l have put my agents on the trucks to make sure the goods were delivered to consignees at New York.
 Tn connection with a raid on one of outside of New England -$0O,OOO was to have been mine if l would lay off,
 "A certain party-an official of a New England brewery-sought for $1OO,OOO cash to have me permit him to refill with near beer 300 bottles of the real variety seized in raid. I was to pre- sent the bottles later as evidence be- fore the courts.
 A brand new motor car of the latest type and $5,OOO in cash was offered by a prominent Massachusetts, citizen i f 1 would agree to overlook nine bottles of liquor, seizure of which meant very likely almost certain conviction of the man because of previous alleged of fence then pending before the courts D
 Mccarthy also said that his enemies Will endeavOr to make lot of capital out of his failure to tell about the bribes and threats before the present time, but he anticipates such a c1amor and made the following comment:
 HoWls are sure to arise when this story IS presented to the. public. Why didn't he have them "pinched,"' will be the cry.
 When that cry reaches me I will have something further to say and it may startle people in some quarters.
 Impersonated by Bogus Agents
 "A truck load of 100 cases was shipped from New York consigned as brass fittings, to a Boston concern and three bogus agents held the truck up at Waltham, stating their names as Mccarthy, Hurley and O'Brien. After examining the load and after having discovered the liquor, one of the agents who said he was Mccarthy, agreed to Carthy) would have to take the liquor to the customhouse. Mccarthy and the other two bogus agents drove off with the truck and un1oaded the 100 cases, later returning the empty truck to the truckmen at Harvard Square. Cambridge.
 T was informed of the ho1dup and III "A hours caught the three bogus agents and located large quantity of the. liquor in a barn in Somerville and Saxonville, Mass. This goes to show that if these men got away my men and 1 would suffer severe criticism from certain people and some would have been led to believe I took the 100 cases. Many such cases have hap pened i'll New England and as a result l have had to work day and night in the field to stop this practice.
 We have caught many runners and presented many cases in which these defendants have continued to violate the law and I find that their reason for continuing in the illegal traffic of liquor is owing to the 1eniency of the courts.
 Tt is fact that unless these run ners are prosecuted to the full extent of the law the enforcement of prohibi- ton will not be successful.
 Yes, many threats have come from a lot of unknown people, writers who have not the moral courage to come out into the open with their threats. They warned me not to go to certain sections of my district and l immediately smash that district to call their bluff and question their gameness.
 1also have been warned to cease my activity, but make it point to go all the harder and will continue to do
