Must Go to Jail for Hiding Assets
Washington Post reports John Auoell and his son Georges, prominent in the Manufacturers Club, must serve jail terms for conspiring to conceal assets of a bankrupt. The U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals sustained the conviction, with Judge McPherson noting moral responsibility. The Knoells, furniture makers, were primarily convicted on the testimony of Reuben Turetz, husband of Rose Turetz. Turetz testified that the Knoells hired gunmen to kill him before trial and had acted as Arwell’s agent in arson plots and other frauds. John Kupell received five months and his son nine months in Movamensing prison. Turetz got five months after prior pardoning. The Knoells remain on bail during appeal.
