Mandel case: Hess says track ownership kept secret
W Dale Hess testified that he and codefendants did not inform Governor Mandel about secret Marlboro Race Track ownership from 1971 to 1975. He said the plan fizzled in December 1972 during merger talks with Bowie and that he offered to sell his stake rather than reveal details to Mandel or the Maryland Racing Commission.

Hess clashes over racing interests and payoffs with Mandel
Testimony shows Hess says he and Rodgers sold interests to Ernest N. Cory Jr. and that Mandel called upset about disclosures. He denies race track interests in Maryland and explains record alterations were to reflect truth not cover debts. The line of payments includes a $15,000 settlement to the governor in 1972 and 1973 for Mandel’s legal work in the 1960s.
