Scheme to Victimize Connecticut People
Washington reports a scheme run by the American Civil Service Institute led to police raids and arrests of McNulty and Van Vleet. Investigators found 400 letters offering exclusive agency rights in each state for 1300 dollars with deposits or stock guarantees. The firm claimed 350000 dollars in capital but subscriptions were paid by the officers themselves. The operation may have victims in Connecticut and elsewhere, having netted about 6000 dollars in three weeks. Officers are held on 2000 dollar bonds.
