clared there existed in the United
States an organization of cracks
men known as the Bank Robbers

activities are protected by one Of
the most brilliant LAWYERS in the

United States. declared CarIstroni.
and these are banded together in an
organization which provides for the
defense Of any member who may be
arrested and provides measures in
aiding them to escape from the
scenes Of their crimes.
Its headquarters, Carlston said.

that there is no competition, It
closely parallels the association OF
the bootleg gangs in Chicago.
While this. statement fell like a
bombsheIl in the ranks Of attorney
generals OF the United States and
Canada at the meeting Of the In
ternational Association. CarIstrom
