Missouri Letters Highlight Political Plot In Missouri Race
In July in St Louis United States District Attorney Oliver disclosed letters addressed to Dear Kitty by Harry M Rubey of Macon former Democratic state chairman and candidate for the First District nomination. The letters describe a scheme to lure a judge to Quincy with a young woman posing as a client to trap him for alleged mail act violations. The plot was interrupted when the woman refused to participate. The letters reference Rubeys hiring of a St Louis stenographer for confidential investigations and were presented to the DA by Judge Romine who sought the nomination. The DA photographed copies and found no basis yet for grand jury action. Names of the two women remain undisclosed. Rubey allies say previous hits against him prompted the inquiry as a pretext to derail his campaign.
