Prosecution of Harriman Delayed by Hoover Era Action
Attorney General Cummings in Washington explained that Harriman's case, for false bank entries, was held up under a Senate resolution governing committee activities. The delay was reportedly due to the delicate financial situation, with William D. Mitchell, then attorney general, directing the postponement. The postponement came to light after a depositors committee sought a special prosecutor to replace Mead, who asserted he acted promptly under authorization to proceed. The bank’s clearinghouse counsel requested DOJ to withhold action to straighten affairs, and the department complied.
