Corruption in City Assembly Led to Franchises
A grand jury exposed bribery in St Louis Municipal Assembly cases, detailing $145000 placed in escrow and later $250000 distributed to members after franchise votes. A street railway bid followed with $155000 promised, secured by dual keys to trust deposits. Indictments, convictions, and a fugitive followed as reforms urged broader citywide selection and higher salaries. Separate Butte revelation tied contractor Charles Sutter and banker G L Ramsey to a conspiracy, claiming state funds were defrauded via altered School of Mines plans and other state buildings, with $17000 and $3000 gains cited.
