Wendel Pleads Guilty on Birthday in NY National Guard Scandal
Captain Louis Wendel of the 1st Battery NY National Guard pleaded guilty on his 69th birthday to presenting a false bill for horse hire and fodder. He faces sentencing Tuesday before Judge Swann. Two larceny indictments were dismissed on District Attorney Jerome’s recommendation. Wendel, once a long time guard leader and Tammany ally, had been dishonorably discharged for refusing a court martial. He had claimed numerous parades and expenses that did not occur, and armory staff were alleged to have acted as waiters at his resorts. An employee testified Wendel kept part of his own pay.
