Ambrose Stamp Case
RetoId 10 Grand jury

The case of Harold r. Ambrose,
former special assistant to the
Postmaster General, accused of a
100000 stamp swindle, today was
being presented to a Federal grand
jury for second time.
The United States Attorneys
office started retelling its version
CT the get-rich- quick mp-Selling
scheme before a new panel sitting
in Municipal Court this morning
Last July, Ambrose was indicted
on "a counts on charges of fraud.
That indictment is now under at
tack, the former official charging
that his constitutional rights were
violated in the previous hearing.
A motion to throw out the indict-
ment is to be argued in District
Court Tuesday.
Lawyers for the Government re-
fused to comment on the possible
outcome of the court hearing to-
day, or to admit that the original
indictment might be quashed. The
present representation of the
case, however, suggests such a
possibility.
According to the indictment,
Ambrose bilked a number of in
vestors in his scheme of some
where between 5000, 900 and $780,
900, after telling them he could
get them up to $50 per cent profit
by selling commemorative stamp
issues to dealers and collectors.
