Payoff Promised to Boss Pendergast in Missouri Fire Rate Case
Kansas City May 22 District Attorney Maurice Milligan disclosed a $750000 payoff promised to Boss Tom Pendergast for influence in settling the $9000000 Missouri fire insurance rate case. The payment was not completed due to Charles Street’s death. $440000 was paid, of which Pendergast received $315000. Pendergast faced tax evasion claims with references to A L McCormack and Street. Milligan said no further prosecutions would follow for these offenses. He noted Pendergast’s handling of funds and a large 1935 1936 income discrepancy and ongoing currency investigations.
