War fraud indictment quashed in court here
A war fraud indictment against Harry Sherby of Sherby’s Supply Market and Paul Haase former mess sergeant at Camp Meigs was quashed in criminal court due to errors. The January 1915 indictment charged conspiracy to defraud the United States over allegedly prddin pills for Camp Meigs supplies and money rightly belonging to the government. Justice Bailey sustained the motion to quash while related indictments against David Griswold and William Salisbury for an alleged $250,000 veterans relief scam were pressed as superfluous. those defendants had earlier been convicted and imprisoned for similar charges in the War Risk insurance division.
