INVESTIGATED BY

FORMER MAGISTRATE ALLEG
ED BOUGHT OFFICE FOR
$10,000
NEW YORK, Sept., 19, (/P)— I
The New York World says that:
13 additional magistrates, as
well as the two magistrates now
under investigation, will also be
investigated by State authori
ties. J
The authorities are now said
to be conducting an extraordi
nary grand jury inquiry into
the appointment of a former
magistrate and also into the ac- ■
tivities of every Tammany dis- j
trict leader.
It is believed Tammany is res
ponsible for the appointment
of magistrates and nomination
of judges.
The higher courts are being
scrutinized by the grand jury
which has been instructed it can
extend its investigations to other
judicial posts, if it finds the
Ewald case, in which the former
magistrate is alleged to have
bought his office for $10,000
from Martin J. Healy, Tammany
leader, a typical example.
