house, where Abe Lincoln practiced law,
evidence intended to show manipulation Of
huge sums of State funds for private gain,
was unfolded under the direction of
States Attorney Fred Mortimer.
The investigation, resulting from bitter
political feud between Governor Len
Small and Attorney General Edward
Brundage. was designed to strike at
some of the highest officials in the State
government. Employees of the STAG
treasurers office were busy early in thA
day, carrying huge bundles Of recordA
and books showing the use Of State funds
over the last six years, to the grand jury
room.
STATE TREASURER
FIRST WITNESS.
Their chief. Edward Miller, State treas
urer, was the first witness called to tes-
tify before the grand jury.

turned over to the treasurer last Marcel
although the loan was made many years
ago. They were turned over only after
MILLER promised exposure Of the whole
affair.

be presented to the grand jury tending
to show that every treasurer following
the one who first made the loan. was
forced to give a receipt for the S1OU0,O0d
