POLITICAL CHIEFS
INDICTED IN PROBE

CHICAGO, Jan. 29.-Fred Lundin,
former congressman and known as
the silent power behind the political
machine of Mayor William Hale
Thompson, and twenty-three others,
were named in a blanket indictment
returned in court today by the spec
ial grand jury which is investigating
school board affairs.
The Indictment which contains a
blanket conspiracy charge, was re-
turned before Chief Justice Michael
Mckinley of the criminal court, who
set the bonds of the defendants at
$4,000 each.
Lundin is reputed to be in Cuba
and Rohm recently was reported to
be in Los Angeles.
Rohm is in the insurance business
and it was said he and Lundin were
partners for a time and did an enor-
nous business in school insurance.
Details OF this insurance business
were told to the special grand jury
and it was said to be in connection
with the insurance deals that the
grand jury acted against Lundin and
his nephew.
The grand jury has been invest;-
eating school board affairs for sew

mer attorney for the board of edu-
cation, was the first indicted. He
tried and found guilty. Facing
a prison sentence, Bither was denied
a new trial and now awaits an ap-
peal.
During the eight years of the adj
ministration Of Mayor William Hale
Thompson, who recently announced
that he would not be a candidate for
reelection, Lundin has been known
the silent boss" For nearly as
many years Lundin has steadfastly
declared he was "ou: of politics"
Lundin has, so far as known, in late
years never admitted any part in the
activities of the Thompson faction
of the Republican prrty, but he long
has been credited with being the
power behind the throne," and as
an associate of the mayor and pre-
sumably of Governor Small, has
been reputed to WELD a strong in
fluence in state affairs.
. 1t was said differences between
Lundin and James A. Pugh, who
gave thousands of dollars to the
first Thompson campaign fund and
popularity was known as the "angel"
of the organization in the first
nau resulted IN GuSIl 3
retirement from the faction. Since
then Pugh has taken virtually no
part in the Thompson organization.
Soon after the grand jury in
vestigation began, Lundin, whose
home is in the adjoining county of
Lake, went to Rochester. Mimi,
where he announced he was under
treatment. He wrote a letter to
States Attorney Grove, saying that
he expected to return to the iuris-
dtetion of the grand jury and would
inform him when he returned.
VirtuS Rohm, Lundin's nephew,
also was among the indicted men, a
number of whom were indicted prev
iously by the same grand jury in
connection with the administration
of the school funds and property
were also named.
