Silk Smuggling Case Sees Extradition and Vast Duty Loss
A major Silk and cotton goods smuggling ring centered on Lawrence and Don Anger drew detectives into a high stakes case spanning Canada and the United States. Investigators allege undervaluation allowed duties to escape amounting to about 1,886,400 dollars with Lawrence fleeing via Montreal and Queenstown before capture. The sprawling conspiracy involved hundreds of participants across Hogland and European ports, amid a campaign to defraud revenue that spanned continents. Simultaneously Missouri prepares for grasshopper plague forecasts, with western counties bracing as swarms threaten crops and pastures across Kansas and Missouri, causing widespread damage to wheat, bluegrass, and fruit trees.
