Means Revelation Ties Whisky Permits to Mellon Cash
Gaston B. Means testified before the senate committee that in 1922 he received documents from Jess W. Smith allegedly showing Secretary Mellon agreed to issue whisky withdrawal permits in exchange for money to aid the Republican national committee. He named Rex Sheldon as organizer and claimed Senator Bursum and Fred Upham discussed the matter. Means said a later confession tied Upham and others to a broader whiskey ring, with Smith seeking to discredit Mellon and gain control of the permit system.
