Gus Thomas B. Dean as he dined In the
grfl1roon of the Great Northern hotel
last night Mr. Dean is not a detective.
He put that supposition TO rest, him
self. He is about thirty-fiv years old,
dresses neatly. talks affably and has
pair of keen blue eyes that look
straight at you when he talks.
He was born In Louisville. Is the son
of A. B. Dean, of that city, who died
number of years ago in Cuba and
who introduced asphalt pavement in
the United States. Thomas B. Dean
has business interests in Louisville and
has large real estate holdings in east
Kentucky. He went to Gary seeking
investments. and while he was there he
saw. he says good opportunity to put

plant in Gary. I still have that desire,

learned that 1T was a business PROPOSE
tion with certain officials of Gary to
get money for any franchises they
might pass. This talk came to him so
strong that he was amazed he did not
believe 1t possible there such a
bargain and sale business.
Il knew" said Mr.. Dean, that the
board of public works would first have
to pass the franchise, then the council
would approve 1t and then before 1t
became operative the mayor would
have to sign it. Naturally / went to
the mayor first. and after we had sew
eral talks he referred me to John J.
Nyhon. who was member of the
board of public works. l had several
talks with Nyhoff. both In his office
and in my room at the hotel, and
