Charges allege a Detroit federal conspiracy to defraud the government in salvage material sales led by Hugh Browne Fred Fesome and Captain Soterios Nicholson with Bert Harris and others. Arraignments set bail at 20000 each, Harris bound over for grand jury exam, Nicholson to face army court martial. Officers say bids would be filed under three names to bypass competition, with a Rochester sale of 21000 tons valued at 300000 a key example. Other details reference a dictaphone in Nicholson’s Detroit hotel and ongoing investigations.
