Though five tons OF documentary

Small is charged with conspiracy
TO withhold and divert to his own

! The enormous mass of evidence

and bank records. 1t is calculated
I to prove-or to disprove-
THAT Small. together with Fred
e. Sterling (now lieutenant COVER
nor. indicted with Small) and Yer
non Curtis. operated the Grant
park Bank solely to receive depos-
! its of public money.
THAT the alleged conspiratoTs
reloaned these state deposits TO
/ Chicago packers and others at high
rates Of interest and after paying
! two per cent to the state, pocketed
the remainder.
/ THAT the Grant Park Bank was
mot a legitimate banking institu-
ltion but blind to cover the al
iIegcd operation of Small and
those accused with him.
But the defense relies on the
