Histories Russell Edward Wise Mail Fraud Case Newspaper Articles
-
Notes - In 1938 attorney Russell Edward Wise was the General Council for the Continental Credit Corporation of Winchester. In December of that year, he and four other executives of the firm went on trial for mail fraud. The prosecution claimed that they perpetrated fraud on 125 banks and other businesses, to the tune of $1.2 million. All five were convicted of the charges against them. Wise could have received a sentence of up to 10 years in jail, but was given 1 year and a day, along with a fine of $500. Russell Edward Wise went on to become a successful attorney, publisher, and banker. In April 1939, he was named president of Union City (Indiana) Times Gazette, which resulted from a merger of two newspapers. In 1950 he was elected president of the Indiana Democratic Editors Association (he held several different offices in IDEA). Russell died in 1961 at the age of 59, of a massive heart attack. His death certificate listed contributing factors of over-weight and over-work.
