Dow Must Serve His Sentence for Corporate Misdirection
Supreme Court upholds eight year prison term for Stephen Dow former president of mining firms. The ruling rests on an 1878 statute reissued by Assistant District Attorney Webber, making it a crime for officers to convert corporate funds to personal use. Dow argued the acts were simple borrowings, but the court rejected that view, noting more than one million dollars borrowed, with about 250000 unpaid when he faced bankruptcy. The decision emphasizes corporate embezzlement as a public protection issue.
