He announced that was planned would be taken against the deflant Thomas because he was “not a big violator “We are going after the flagrant violators who have large sums in thier possession,” he explained. He said the Treasury was compiling a list of “suspected hoarders" which would be checked by Justice agents. “If I were 2 gold huarder." he con- cluded with some emphasis. “and had not made good, I rather think I should make haste to do so.” On May 5 Thomas notified the United | States attorney in Denver that he had obtained $120 in gold to “qualify my- self for the penitentiary.” and remarked that it “wouldn’t look dignified for the Government to fail to prosecute me now.” For several weeks the Attorney Gen- erad admitted to reporters that he had i not yet caught any hoarders. but at Leach of the semi-weekly press confer- ences he insisted that he was their trail” 1,000 in “Suspect” List.

There were 183 who had refused to give up a total of $1148.945. he stated. On June 26, Mr. Cummings asserted that the names of gold horrders would be “published very socn.” and that prosecution would fol'ow. There had been some delay in coilecting necessary evidence, he said. His final fling at this press conference was: “Most _emphatically there will be prosecution of gold hoarders. Data |are being assembled against what you might call deliberate offenders, and they will be prosecuted. Before we reach the prosecution stage, however, I intend to publish the names of those persons known to be hoarding gold in defiance of the President’s order. We will use persuasion first, to give evervbody the fullest chance to do his duty to the Government. and if they do not, then pressure will be put on them.” On July 7 the Attorney General was not quite so certain, however the press he was “trying to decide what to do about 211 gold hoarders, who have said, in effect, * come and get it."” He said he would make the decision when the investigation by department agents was completed.
