Letter from Stanley Wellington Finch to John William Griggs
Examiner Finch reports to Attorney General Griggs on charges made by former Deputy Marshal Samuel C. Samuels against United States Marshal for Alabama Leander J. Bryan and his deputies. Finch finds that on a prisoner transport, Ernest H. E. Warren used reduced rail fares instead of first class and pocketed the extra money. When Samuels reported the fraud, he was dismissed and replaced by a Deputy Marshal who was complicit in the fraud. Finch also finds that over $600 had been deposited in the accounts of Ernest H. E. Warren’s real estate firm, Warren & Stuart. Warren was the Marshal’s son-in-law. Finch recommends the immediate dismissal of the Marshal and the Deputy Marshals who participated in the fraud.
