Halters From Wolf Goods Shown as Court Exhibits
Federal court heard that uninspected halters from the Wolf Manufacturing company were seized from Rock Island storehouse boxes on November 4 1918 and brought to trial of Fred Wolf Sr and Paul A Wolf for conspiring to defraud the government in war contract work. Witnesses described box opening, packing, and shipment records, with inspectors noting no marks of inspection and potential rubbing out of rejection stamps. The government aims to finish its case as witnesses continue to identify invoices and packing notes, with the defense planning to begin their own testimony Monday.
