Hill and Prohibition Officers Face Grand Jury in Blackmail Case
Washington reports former prohibition officers Richard James Burleque, Orly Angevine, and Richard Lipscomb were turned over to a grand jury on blackmail charges after a police trap. Angevine denied service, Burleque was dismissed May 6 over prior indiscretions tied to the Lutz shooting. The case raises questions about Prohibition Commissioner Haynes and Bureau leadership as Congress weighs inquiry. Portsmouth Times notes Maryland Republican John Whip Hill plans a Senate bid, with uncertain support from Weller and the Carrington faction, while other brief items report South Carolina Governor Cooper’s nomination to the federal farm loan board, a Danish Greenland expedition, and a health clinic warning for mothers.
