Two More Nabbed For Conspiracy In Liberty Motors Case
Three men connected to the Locomobile plant in Bridgeport face federal charges after pleading guilty to conspiring to defraud the United States by misappropriating surplus Liberty engines and selling them for profit. Captain Harry Hegg, a former ordnance captain, along with Charles A. Wirth and Daniel D. Gardner, were arraigned in Hartford with bonds set at 6000 each and sent to Hartford jail when bail could not be posted. The trio, active in the plant’s ordnance department, allegedly plotted to profit from surplus engines in a case described as one of the era’s biggest federal criminal proceedings. The investigation was led by U.S. District Attorney Edward L. Smith with military intelligence involvement. Gardner, a Ford plant foreman in Detroit, and Wirth, chief inspector of ordnance at Locomobile, were among several questioned over three days as the inquiry expanded.
