Chicago Veterans Bureau Case Indicts Forbes and Thompson
Chicago Jan 20 AP Charlies R Forbes and J W Thompson wealthy contractors of Chicago and St Louis were indicted by a federal grand jury for conspiracy to defraud the government through veterans hospital contracts and for conspiracy to corrupt through bribe. The trial began November 4. Testimony centered on a $5000 cash payment Mortimer said he handed to Forbes in Chicago June 20 1922 as part of an alleged scheme to skim profits from Thompson firms.

The case grew from a Senate–reported probe of alleged waste graft and mismanagement in the Veterans Bureau led by Forbes during the 1923 hearings.
