...breath of alleged corruption. Only last week another blossom opened. In Manhattan a grand jury indicted one time Attorney General Harry Daugherty, his good friend, the late Jesse Smith, John T. King, onetime Republican National Committeeman from Connecticut, and Thomas W. Miller, former Alien Property Custodian, for conspiracy to defraud the Government. The charge was that certain stock of the American Metal Co. was seized by the Alien Property Custodian as German property during the War, that the stock was sold for some $7,000,000, and that in 1921 a Swiss corporation, really a blind for the German owners...
Nearly two months ago, Charles R. Forbes, onetime Director of the Veterans' Bureau, entered Leavenworth Prison for conspiracy to defraud the Government in the Veterans' hospital scandal (TIME, March 29), which like the oil scandal spread its shadow over the Harding Administration.

...Embry is a stoop-shouldered, middle-aged practitioner with greying hair. Onetime, 1907-08, he was intimately connected with government prosecution for using the mails to defraud against "The Boston Medical Institute" and "The Belleview* Medical Institute" of Chicago. These were one and the same firm, using the same office suite but with entrances on different streets to divert suspicion, an oldtime quack stunt. Old Doc Embry uses the same method?"Dr. Embry" on the door of a squalid office for Negroes, "The Parker Health Institute" on a communicating office door for whites. His gyp game is to thrill...
