Ford got letters from those: indicted, Stout said, indorsing the “anti-narcotic campaign” which he was supposed to heur.. Ford then went to speakeasy operators and persuaded them the in- dorsements showed he had “pull” enough to give tips before raids were to be made and to intercede for them if they were arrested and taken before courts, Liquor sellers paid Ford as much as $1.000 for ris “protection,” Btout said. JInvestigation of the ring began when numerous _speakeasy operators com~ plained, after their arrest, of being “shaken down” by Federal prohibition agents, Ford, Stout asserted, served a jail sentence for being connected with a similar ring in Ohio before coming to Pennsylvania. e MINNESOTA GOVERNOR PLEADS FOR MOONEY Cali.fomiu Executive Says Record of Case Will Require Three- Month Study.
