Inspector Ralph Izard attempted to pay U.S. Marshal William Henkel $500 to arrest 27 Chinese immigrants without a warrant. Izard attempted to deceive the U.S. District Attorney on the same count. Izard and Inspector Jenkins swore false warrants under the name John Doe. Jenkins and Chinese interpreter Moy Gop Jung admitted that no investigation had been done to secure the warrants and that all statements made were untrue. Izard and Jenkins have caused great expense to the U.S. government because of their actions. Izard has been falsifying travel expense accounts, stating he has been in various places, when in fact he was in Boston.
