The case is in progress before Judge Martin T. | Manton in the Federal District Court Morel had a brother, Seymour, who had been drafted, Seymour's services were ny 1 in the hat business, Moret testified, and he wanted his brother excused from service for two or three | months at least. So when Samuel Reichback of the “fixing syndicate” approached him he lent a willing ear. Reichback told him, Morel testified, that it would cost him $3,000 or $4,000. “There's a big lawyer in this,” Reich- back said, according to the witness, “and some high army officers. O'Neill's brother-in-law is an officer at Wash- ington.” Iteichback made an appointment for Morel to meet the other members in a Sixth Avenue restaurant, He told Morel to bring at least $1,800 in cash.* At the restaurant luncheon was ordered.
