Indictment Ties Western Union to Bucket Shop Raids
Federal grand jury in Washington returns an indictment against Western Union Telegraph Company, tied to two raids by Department of Justice agents on bucket shops using its wire service for quotations. Authorities arrested sixteen individuals in a May 2 raid across multiple cities, with related actions against Price & Co and other firms. The case links figures like Leo Mayer and Richard E. Preusser to prior bucket shop activities, while a second April 39 raid targeted Morrison & Mailer, Bryce, and Marrin in Jersey City. Western Union says it has no comment on the indictment. The Consolidated Stock Exchange reports a stagnant market but notes progress against bucket shops, praising federal action against the practice.
