Death in Highland Park ends Stevens embezzlement saga
Chicago March 24 59 year old Raymond W Stevens lay dead from a pistol wound in his Highland Park home while his 80 year old father lay near death after a stroke. Indicted months earlier with son Ernest J Stevens for embezzling from Lemons Life Insurance, they led a once powerful Chicago family whose decline began with the Stevens LaSalle and Stevens hotels and the collapse of the Wilneis Life Insurance company. The murder and financial scandal culminate in the grand jury probe and corporate receiverships.
