The rapidly developing loca

ed to bye it's first real blow from
the police when several writer's

GERS and pickups for the racket and
made several arrests after search
ing for policy slips, books, and
other media connected with the
racket, while several others were

been true of the past several
months While most of those ar

his arrest is reported to have
quit the racket for good and is

their daily collections were much
larger, today the average is not
