Stone Blamed For Forgeries In Industrial Insurance Loot
In Olympia on January 18 Assistant Attorney General John M. Wilson told the jury that Frank W. Stone forged warrants and used them to cash funds from John F. Gillies, a claim agent for the Industrial Insurance Commission, as part of a looting scheme totaling 15 000 to 50 000 dollars. Gillies faces one forgery charge, with Stone and E W Kearns charged in related indictments for grand larceny and conspiracy. Gillies and Stone were intimate friends and partners in fishing boats, with warrants cashed in Seattle Tacoma and Olympia saloons. Defense attorney Thomas Vance blamed Gov Lister and the insurance commission, arguing officials failed to check accounts and publicized the case only after press scrutiny.
