Governor Small Acquitted in Illinois Embezzlement Case
The Honorable Len Small, Illinois governor, is acquitted by a Waukegan jury after a trial on charges of conspiracy to embezzle state funds. The case involved a fictitious bank at Grant Park and about 62 million dollars loaned to packers with 1.5 to 2 million in unaccounted interest.
