Connolly and Cohalan dispute fees and graft claim
John A. Connolly, former ally of Supreme Court Justice Daniel F. Cohalan, details his payments and disputes over Cohalan’s legal and political fees. He denies paying $4,340 for legal services, saying most funds related to political influence for the Victor Heating Company and asserts cash graft payments were made to Cohalan. He cites specific checks, dates, and amounts, including $1,000 in 1905 and $250 and $10, with Cohalan denying continued retainer and alleging high charges.
