Subpoenas Issued for 20050 Bootleg Liquor Purchasers in John Doe Probe
United States Attorney Emory Buckner says 20050 customers of the Jacob Kirschenblatt bootlegging ring may be summoned to New York to testify. Names span from Providence to Los Angeles as Buckner targets the nationwide mail order operation. An example cited is Irene Griffen of the Sewall apartment hotel in Sioux City who was subpoenaed to reveal the ring’s activities. Buckner aims to use customers as witnesses rather than admitting participants, arguing they are likelier to tell the truth. The case centers on shipping liquor in trunks with separate key mailings, with the liquor falsely marketed as genuine Scotch and a diluting setup uncovered in the investigation.
