THE ILLINOIS SCANDAL
Indictment of Governor Len Small
of Illinois, Lieut. Governor Fred E. j
Sterling, and Vernon Curtis, presi-1
i
dent of a Grant Park, Illinois, bank
during the latter part of July, on1!
charges of embezzlement, conspiracy j
and a confidence game through the
use of state interest funds for their |
personal gain, is said to have pre
cipitated a political drama without |
parallel in the history of that state
of many scandals.
Four indictments were returned,
the charges alleging fraud during
the term of Governor Small—1917 j
— 1918, and Lieut. Gov. Sterl ng,'
1910—1921, in the state treasurer’s !
office.
One indictment charged the three
defendants jointly with embezzle-:
ment of $700,000, interest on state
moneys. Governor Small was separ
ately charged in another indictment!
with embezzlement of $500,000, and :
a third indictment charges Sterling1
with embezzling $700,000. The last j
Qwiall Sta»rlin(r j
and operating a confidence game in-'
voicing $2,000,000 of state funds.
The alleged illegal operations of I
the trio centered around the de- j
posit by Small and Sterling, when
in the state treasurer’s office, of
sums aggregating $10,000,000 in the
“Grant Park Bank” at Grant Park,
a town of 600 population, in Kan
kakee county, a few miles from
Governor Small’s home.
The grand jury declared that this
bank, a private institution, ceased
to function in 1908. It was founded
by Curtis’ father, a former state
senator, and the son inherited the
charter.
The grand jury charges that the
state received less than two per
cent interest—-although the law re
quired a minimum of that amount
—on the $10,000,000 of state funds
which, it is claimed was deposited
in the bank on certificates of de
posit without any collateral security
The bank, the grand jury says,
loaned the money to Swift & Co.,
and Armour & Co.. Chicago pack
ers, on short time notes which, it
is claimed, paid seven to eight per.;
cent interest. The difference between •
the interest paid on the notes and <
he interest paid into the state
reasury is the money at issue in
die case.
