more blackmailers, two of them
believed to be disbarred lawyers,
are being sought.
Shortly after Walter H. Cragg,
57-year-old disbarred lawyer Jo-
seph Brandino, 81, and Mary
Brandino, 81, were arrested, Assist
ant United States Attorney Gen
eral Brien Mcmahon announced:
"Cragg and the others began
to get prosperous at the same
time that McKeSson & Robbins
did. They had a very nice little
scheme worked out and they
tried to make it look legitimate
on the surface. There were
others in the combination, and
further arrests are expected"
Cragg was a promising young
lawyer back in 1910, but pen
chant for horse racing brought
about his downfall. He pleaded
guilty to second-degree grand lar
ceny in 1913 and drew a prison
sentence. This prompted his father
to disinherit him for disgracing
the family name.
Paid for Silence
The Brandinos are not Ameri-
can citizens. Federal authorities
accused them specifically of
splitting $4,000 a year to remain
silent concerning the past life of
Coster. Police say that Brandino
has a record which shows no dis
position of an arrest on a vag.
rancy charge at Lawrence. Mass,
on Nov. 13, 1890. His sister has
no police record.

was Philip Musica, wrote to Ben.

Hot as summer weather, Wa terbury found it yesterday when, at 2::3c o'clock, the thermometer scared to 76 degrees for a rec ord of many years on that date. And today, at 1 o'clock the mer- cury was on its way along the same route with 72 degrees regis tered.
 Some of the boys, taking ad- vantage of the break in the first days of spring, went swimming out at Scovills pond yesterday. more were on their way out there after school today, it was cer- tain.
 Unreasonable, in a sense, but satisfying, was the comment around the town. And the fan tasies which breed in spring, bloom in summer, merged to general gratitude that the hardy cold sea- son seemed broken off at the root, in manner of speaking.
 Through the town golfers gave evidence that the seasonal dreams of "birdies", eagles, even "holes- in-one" soon would be in the making for the talk ran:
 What a day to get out for a couple of rounds"
 There were some who asked when the fishing season opens, some who visited tourist agencies ;o obtain literature about vacation spots.
 But the boys and girls, and some who were older, went swim ming and hope for continued warm weather hereabouts.
