Letter from Frederick W. Job, Secretary of The Employers Association of Chicago, to C. V. Boller.

Mr. C. B. Boller,
C/o A. L. Werner & Co.,
708 Broadway, New York, N.Y.

My dear Sir,

You have perhaps heard that last week, the eleventh juror was secured in the Criminal case against Shea and other teamsters, growing out of the Strike of a year ago last Spring.

It is expected that within the next two or three days, the twelfth juror will be secured and the trial of the case will then proceed.

You will be among the first, if not the very first witness we will need, and hence I am writing you in advance that your evidence will probably be as important, if not more important than that of any other person.

I appreciate the fact that you are, of course, a very busy man, and are in a new position, but I trust that you and your business associates will realize that we are moving Heaven and earth, to secure a conviction in this case and will be able to be with us when you are needed as a witness, which will be within twenty-four hours after the last juror is secured - the first day being consumed probably, in the opening statements of attorneys in the case.

Accordingly, I will, on behalf of the State's Attorney, wire you early enough in the day to have you take the Twentieth Century train for Chicago, which will get you here the next morning in time to testify, and we will do all we can to get through with you during the first day so that you may catch the train back that afternoon.

Your expenses will be borne here by the prosecution and you will oblige me by letting me know by return mail that the above arrangements will be satisfactory to you.

Very truly yours,
Fred W. Job

P.s. Please write me your residence address - J.
