Harding Assailed For Private Probe In Liquor Crackdown
Former Justice agent H L Scaife testified before the Wheeler Brookhart committee that Warren G Harding financed a private 1922 liquor violations investigation to compel stricter enforcement. He said hundreds of indictments followed and linked to ex-agent Gasom N Means who claimed he caught Secretary Mellon. Beatfe testified he received 5000 from Means for work in 1922 23 and that Harding funded the effort. Scaife said the crusade produced indictments and public drive to force DOJ action after Harding’s 1923 message critical of enforcement.
