Lappin Bond Forgeries Shake Kansas State Funds
A Kansas historical piece recounts the Sam Lappin school fund fraud of 1874 1878. It details Lappin as state treasurer tied to forged bonds from St Joseph fraud schemes, the resulting arrest escape and eventual capture, and the reforms mandating state auditor registration before treasurer disbursement. The narrative links to a Republican convention rebuke and identifies key figures like Scrafford and Francis in the aftermath.
