Lecompton Bill Cost and Tornado Tremors in River Cities
Testimony before the Corode Committee in Washington claims the government spent nearly a million to pass the Lecompton bill. Wendell produced checks totaling 925000, payable to no specific person, with coded payee marks. Some funds went to Senators and House members, raising questions about the bill’s passage. A violent tornado struck the river city, tearing roofs, uprooting trees, and causing about one million dollars in damage. The storm’s path likely stretched from Louisville to Marietta, with numerous vessels sunk and many lives lost. In Congress Mr Douglas voted to confirm Calhoun Benham as U S District Attorney in California, linked to Broderick’s murder case.
