Defense Begins for Abe Shushan in Levee Bond Case
The defense for Abe Shushan opens in a trial that began December 4, aiming to prove that a fee for Orleans Levee Board bonds was earned legally and not fraudulent. Witnesses include former Governor Richard W. Leche, levee board members Leon Tujague and Sidney J. Gonzales, and other board officials. The government contends the mails were used to defraud the refunding contract and presented eighty witnesses in nine days of testimony. Separately, New Orleans Item and Tribune editors appealed a contempt conviction related to coverage deemed prejudicial to Shushan’s defense, with a superseded execution delayed to allow notice of appeal.
