The Tucker Case Opens in Leavenworth Bankruptcy Proceedings
In Leavenworth on June 12 a jury weighs the Uncle Sam Oil bankruptcy case against Tucker. Witness John J. Jones testified he left 2500 dollars in bonds with E A Krauthoff of Kansas City while he was attorney for Uncle Sam Oil, and claims bonds were misallocated among clerks. Attorneys for Uncle Sam argued the bonds were scattered in Krauthoff’s office. Jones recently left Uncle Sam Oil as attorney and would side with Kansas Natural Gas in a conflict. The trial proceeds with jurists and many prominent officials listed as witnesses.
