Death of Thomas Lonergan Ties San Francisco Graft Fall
Thomas Lonergan former San Francisco board of supervisors member and early confessor in the Ruef graft case died this morning at his home. Lonergan’s testimony helped topple Abe Ruef’s corrupt system and led to the later confessions and trials of Mayor Schmitz and Louis Ginks. Lonergan’s mental strain from the exposure weakened his health after his role as a star witness in Ford and Glass cases. He previously drove Michael Foley’s bake wagon before his political rise.
