Reece says Tobin would have fired in office bias trial
In a crowded criminal court, J. I. Reece testified that Tobin would have been removed as insurance commissioner the day the bond theft occurred. He described Tobin’s alleged schemes to divert bonds and cover shortages, including a $100,000 bond mislaying and complicity with McAlister’s committee. Reece claimed Tobin authorized him to handle bonds as a broker and discussed double dealing, while denying conspiracy to commit murder. The testimony indicated a tense power struggle with Governor and state officials amid the bond sale and investigations.
