Braffet, local attorney, wag last Sunday served with a subpoena out of the federal eourt at Chicagothrough the office of the Ignited States marshal at Salt Lake City to appear before a grand jury back in the Windy City and explain certain phases of the Forbes veterans bureau scandal The subpoena issued orders in part that Judge James IL Wilkersonof the Northern District of Illinois will probe the alleged graft by Charles It. Forbes, when he was director of the United States veterans bureau. It directs that Braffet "bring with him all letters, correspondence papers, canceled checks and documents of every nature and kind received by him from Clinrles It. Forbes, Elias IT.

Also all correspondence, papers and documents of every nature and kind relative to the Columbia syndicate of Bogota, S. A.

Before his departure for Chicago iast Wednesday, Attorney Braffet said: "My investigation, involving a claim of $800,000 filed by CoL James W. Thompson, has no doubt resulted in my being called before the federal grand jury at Chicago. Braffet told of being a close friend of fharlea F. Cramer, as counsel for Forbes and who committed suicide at Washington, D.- C., in March of last year, when charges were first hinted against Fnrbts. Cramer enme to Utah when the Royal Dutch Shell sent engineers into the Southeastern Utah fiehl to investigate the possibilities of oil in that locality, and Braffet made his acquaintance. They had been interested in purchases of real estate together, and even now the Cramer estate owns some pmperty jointly with Braffet. Colonel Thompson, a wealthy railroad construction engineer of St. Louis, Mo., secured Braffet s services to conduct fnrther investigations into a claim for $800,000 which the Missourian was seeking from the government for a ship commandeered dnring the war. Braffet said the government had previously paid $700,000. but Thompson was seeking an aditional $800,-00- kuLcoJJce Its ail coffee No dust or chaff full rich -flavor.y 0.
