Ladds Story Before Court in Newberry Conspiracy Trial
Milton Oakman, Detroit political leader, debated whether he was kidding or serious about a $20 000 Newberry committee offer for Osborn campaign support. Henry Montgomery testified he took the claim seriously, while Oakman denied ever receiving money. The testimony detailed campaign activity of 15 defendants including George S. Ladd of Sturbridge and Louis Burr. Ladd said he was called to Detroit, asked to give Newberry speeches, received $100 in advance and $250 later, and was told to avoid linking his work to Newberry in Grange meetings.
