Albion Youth Used Mail to Seek Fake Jobs Fraud
Harry Hoffer of Albion was held for trial in the United States Circuit Court on fraud involving promises of lucrative positions. He used letters and ads to solicit money, charging about 35 for each promised job. A 25 cent start fee and later 60 days in jail for obtaining money under false pretenses preceded federal investigation and his arraignment. United States Marshal Taylor awaited him at the Detroit jail.
