A young,lady took down the receiv

START PROBEOF ALLEGED
JOHNSON TELEGRAM
The federal grand jury yesterday
began an investigation into the al
leged telegram from Jack Johnson
recently printed in the Examiner in
which the negro said he paid $25,000
to escape from Chicago.
Officials of the Western Union and
the Postal Telegraph companies were
called before the jury and asked
whether they had transmitted such a
message.
Assistant District Attorney David
Stansbury believes that if such a tele
gram was really sent by Johnson one
of these companies would have a rec
ord, though there is a possibility that'
it might have been sent over the
Hearst news service leased wire.
Charles E. Erbstein, L. R. Jacobs,
former, assistant district attorney,
and John J. Murphy, loan bank
owner, were called before the grand
jury yesterday in connection with the
charges made against federal officials
by Mrs. Sol Lewinsohn.
