Martin-Trigona blasts indictment as malicious pursuit
Anthony R. Martin-Trigona, indicted by a Cook County grand jury on forgery and theft, denounces the case as a monstrous prosecution. The 34 year old, who sought the U S Senate in 1978, allegedly defrauded two business associates of a 267 738 insurance settlement by forging their signatures on a Maryland Casualty Co. check related to a 1977 apartment fire arson claim. He accuses State's Attorney Bernard Carey of using the office to pressure a disputed commercial claim for his own money.
