German economist testifies on Miller-Dughnerty plot at trial
New York jurors hear a dramatic tale of dinners, wine, and bribes in a conspiracy to defraud the United States. Richard Merton, German chemist, describes payments totaling about 441000 dollars tied to Harry M. Dughnerty and Col. Wiemas Miller, with checks of 8041007 dollars routed through champagne and private dinners. The witness links million-dollar bribes to a Wall Street fixer and a Swiss-based holding firm, aiming to prove the defendants’ roles in wartime neutrality and corporate control. The prosecution notes 174000 dollars traced to Dudgerty’s district and 10000 to Col. Wilkin Rand’s accounts. The defense challenges the legitimacy of the seven thousand dollars claimed as legitimate fees.
