ATLEE POMERENE. Partly Printed Check signed:
"Atlee Pomerene", 6x2¾. Cleveland, Ohio, 1925 January 3. Drawn on
The Union Trust Company for $3.37, payable to The Western Union Telegraph
Company. Atlee Pomerene represented Ohio in the U.S. Senate from 1911-1923.
In 1924, Democrat Pomerene and Republican Owen Roberts were appointed by
President Coolidge as Special Counsels for the U.S. to prosecute the Teapot Dome
oil fraud cases. Their investigation revealed that Secretary of the Interior
Albert B. Fall had accepted a $100,000 bribe to lease to private oil interests
without competitive bidding, naval oil reserve lands in Wyoming and California.
Fall was convicted of bribery in 1929 and served nine months of a one-year
prison sentence. Light vertical fold touches the "n" in Pomerene. Bank
cancellation holes, not at signature, bank stamp touches 3 lines of writing.
Fine condition.
