Banker Gourdain Seeks Supreme Court Filing
The eccentric banker Gourdain pursued a petition to the Supreme Court to return him to Illinois to serve a four and a half year term. He failed to file officially, sought permission to file, and planned to visit Justice White at Narragansett Pier, then Canton, Ohio to pursue his appeal. He lingered in Washington offices, attempted to sign and file the petition, and then ate a large meal before leaving for future steps. He also claimed to be arranging gold restitution via a network of safe vaults and contacted the Postmaster General for aid. The report weaves his persistent, nonconforming actions with a commercial notice about a health claim for Grape Nuts.

Gourdain case prompts unusual post office action
Assistant Attorney General R P A G Goodwin is out of town, with Richard M. Webster to act. The Post-office Department weighs Gourdain’s unprecedented plan to refund millions, which could overturn a three year old fraud order against Louisiana Trust Banking Company. Gourdain vows to return funds, arguing legality, while officials note risks of mailing money and question the plan’s viability. A Chicago broker, facing possible prison, says he will press Supreme Court efforts and visit Justice Whyte, planning a self-imposed jail term if needed. Marshall Field estate appraisal places personal property at 5.54 million and real estate at 2.47 million in New York State.
