In an obvious effort to dis
credit Link and his newspaper,
the st. Louis Post-Dispatch, a
special assistant to Attorney
General George F. Barrett Sc
cured indictments against three
gangsters at the same time.
Barrett, vernon Green's
right-hand man, was concerned
because Links investigation had
established that Peoria gangsters
paid graft money into the cot
fers of the Illinois Republican
machine-in fact, to a man on
Barrett's own payroll.
Links inves zig ion was
prompted by the murder of Ber-
ME Shelton, who with his broth
ers had long been a gang leader
in central Illinois.
After Skeletons death, the
Post Dispatch made public a
photograph recording which he
had ordered sent to it. On the
record was conversation in
which Shelton was asked to pay
a $4,000 bride in order to Sc
cure immunity from prosecution.

ing probe, another grand jury

Spainhower, S a tie S Attorney

backing Link, said in an editor
