Callaghan Testifies in Graft Conspiracy Hearing in Lansing
In Lansing on March 3 1942 M Callaghan the 77 year old former Michigan legislator who pleaded guilty to a graft conspiracy indictment testified for the prosecution. He identified a $150 cashier’s check said to be a bribe from Maj Charles F Hemans former regent of the University of Michigan. Special Prosecutor Kim Sigler's record shows he would prove that 20 members of the 1939 legislature took bribes from Hemans in Hemans Lansing hotel bathroom. Claude F Marshall of Lansing quoted a letter claiming Senate Bill 41 was perfectly lubricated before passage. Marshall argued the term meant hard work not a payoff and denied knowledge of several defendants receiving checks or others getting money from Hemans.
