Graft Charge Faces DAR Leader and Family
Mrs. William Cumming Story former director general of the Daughters of the American Revolution is jailed on indictments for grand and petty larceny and conspiracy in a National Emergency Relief Society affair. Her sons Allen and Sterling Story are accused of profiting alongside her in diverting relief kit contributions to a solicitor. The case cites a scheme with William Garland Brown to take half the funds with Sterling receiving a share, while officials question the ability to verify total misused contributions. The DA notes the organization’s irregular incorporation and that Mrs. Story never legally held the presidency.
