Former State Treasurer Denies Graft Profits Under Probe
Former State Treasurer Frank G. Harris testified before capitol investigators denying any graft profits and claiming ignorance of the fraud until details emerged. He admitted violating the 1895 law, said he was fooled, and asserted no personal gain while detailing contracts tied to the $13 million capitol project. The hearing focused on the Pennsylvania Construction company and architect Huston with plans for lavish approaches and overpriced metal cases. The testimony may fuel a civil action to recover funds paid to the Pennsylvania Construction company.
