Text: John Samson, whose name appears conspicuously in several of the above referred to cases, particularly those of Orris E. Heller and Mrs. Natle Kline was a special assistant attorney general for the state of Nebraska during part of the time involved in these proceedings and previous thereto had been a claim agent for various railroads. The referee said with reference to him in the Heller case:    The first statement from Heller, Ex.-70, was obtained by one John Samson, Special Assistant Attorney General of the State of Nebraska, who was a former Railroad Claim Agent. The record is not clear as to whether Samson was named Special Assistant Attorney General to investigate charges of solicitation against various attorneys, including Respondent, but it is undisputed that he was a claim agent for railroads prior to such appointment. It is common knowledge that railroad claim agents and adjusters for Insurance Companies are expert in obtaining statements favorable to their interests.
