Ground of ouster cited by Seabury
Bulletin New York reports that Dr. William H. Walker brother of Mayor James J Walker testified before the Hofstadter committee that fees from William J Sean tied to a city equipment sale formed part of a commission. Samuel Seabury then cited bonds Walker held in Reliance Bronze & Steel Co as grounds for removal, asserting stock ownership in a city contractor is grounds for removal, and noting bonds within securities from J A Sisto linked to a taxicab promotion. Walker denied sourcing from Sisto and said he vetoed a taxicab bill that would have boosted profits for the taxi firm managed by Sisto’s brokerage. Mayor Walker, in Detroit for a mayors conference, declined to comment on Seabury’s assertion and signaled possible reply later.
