INS I LL IS CONFIDENT
HE BE VINDICATED IN
TRIALS NOW PENDING
(By The Associated Press)
CHICAGO, Nov. 26, The dream for complete vindica
tion surged high in Samuel Insull, after winning an acquitt
al for himself and sixteen others, under charges of mail
fraud.
He said he was ready to face other trials which are
pending, with confidence that he will be vindicated of those
too.
The government was silent regarding further action to
be taken. Rumors were rife today that Insull planned on
re-entering the utilities field, in an attempt to restore his
,lost empire.
Coming as a severe set-back, the acquittal of Insull ac
cused of using the U. S'. Mails to defraud, destroyed the
government’s carefully built up case against him, to such
an extent, that much of the evidence and other data about
Insull will have to be revised, in such a way as will make
it congruent with other trials still pending.
The government built up a case against Insull, employ
ing four of the efficient accountants in the service, which
seemed impregnable. More than seventeen hundred counts
were chalked up against the former utilities magnate.
Samuel Insull Sr., fled from the United States to foreign
countries attempting to stay beyond the power of Uncle
Sam, only to be brought back to the U. S. after more than
two years of traveling. His large utilities holdings appar
ently went to pieces, beginning with the downfall of Foshay
and Compaany. Since that time, investigation disclosed
that all of his holdings were built up on an insecure founda
tion, in many cases displaying unmistakable signs of fraud
and graft. However, his recent trial cleared him of the U.
S. mail fraud charges, but he is still standing before Che bar
on numerous other counts.
