Whiskey withdrawal scandal claims reach Daugherty committee
Witness Gaston B. Means testified before the Senate Daugherty committee that documents from 1922 alleged a plan by Secretary Mellon to issue whiskey withdrawal permits in exchange for money to fund the Republican National Committee. The scheme allegedly involved Rex Skeldon and others, with Sen Bursum and Fred Upham implicated. Bursum denied involvement and said he sent Sheldon to Mellon’s office. Means said Mellon discussed the arrangement with Mr Lucaife and later obtained a confession from Stevens of the LaMontalignes group tying Upham to the broader “whiskey ring.”
