Canadian jail raid nets Chicago magnate Insull
Orillia officials woke former Chicago magnate Samuel Insull and his wife with a dash by air and road to present him with a choice to return to the United States or face arrest on a provisional fugitive warrant. Insull, under indictment in Chicago for embezzlement and larceny, chose to stay in Orillia where he has lived with his wife since the crash of the Insull combine. An assistant state’s attorney announced plans to seek a warrant from Judge Dudley Homes in Simcoe County. The dramatic operation included Chicago detectives and agents who interrupted Insull’s morning at Miss Annie McLean’s boarding house.
