Adjutant General Hamilton Bonded in Guard Funds Theft
Adjutant General Ortis Hamilton of the Washington National Guard is held on a 10,000 bond for allegedly embezzling 3,780 of military funds. He spent the night at a local hotel while seeking bondsmen and awaiting his father, a Whitman county farmer, to likely cover the shortfall. Hamilton claims uncertainty over the amount, cites an affair with Hazel Moore of Seattle, and notes expenditures on cars and jewelry with the stolen funds. Mrs. BD. Jackson traveled from Portland for a funeral in the same report.
