Lafayette and Luther Baker

[historybuff22]

I have copies of Lafayette Baker's 48 page report of the treasury investigation. I also have copies of the 481 page Congressional Select Committee to investigate the Treasury scandal. Future president James Garfield headed the proceedings. Despite mega wrongdoing, only one person was found guilty of stealing $20,000 from the treasury. Two others, although they stole more money, were found not guilty. Also, many of the managers propositioned many female employees. As a result, the females involved were fired. The managers received no punishment. The biggest offender, "Dr" Swyn, managed to receive over $40.,000 to supply presses even though none of them worked.

As to Mogelever's book, I am highly disappointed that he did not use ANY primary source material for his book.
