Senate inquiry traces Sinclair bonds and party funding
Chicago witnesses on opening day of the Senate Teapot Dome subcommittee probe traced disposal of Sinclair Continental Trading bonds and possible Republican party funding. Flora Johnson testified about $2000 of $60000 bonds linked to Eckhart, Upham, and Liberty bonds, with $3500 discussed and $3000 cash, while Homer Galpin connected a 1926 national committee contribution. The panel questions whether $25000 in bonds were moved and if the Cook County committee credited the contribution. Prominent business and political figures reportedly aided the 1923 deficit but denied receiving Liberty bonds as security.
