Postal Frauds Spread Linked to Government Contractors
A long inquiry tracks frauds involving postal officials, and the Wynkoop Hallenbeck Crawford Co as contractor for money order blanks for 16 years. Paul Herman, lowest bidder, formerly worked for the firm and undercut bids by about 45000. Norman Metcalf and his son are connected to the bid, defense of Herman, and potential conflicts. A hearing was held with no decision, briefs to be filed. Machen faces possible forgery charges over a check tied to Henry Lorenz of Toledo, with Lorenz denying signatures and the cash routed through Frank K. Raymond. The case emerged during a congressional investigation into irregular vouchers.
