Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book contains an official record of an 1884 court case against Brigadier General David G. Swaim, Judge Advocate General of the US Army, brought about by Mr. A. E. Bateman. Bateman accused Swaim of fraud. The book reveals how General Swaim received a due-bill from Bateman Company for a substantial sum, which was placed to his credit on the books of the banking house of Bateman Company. The due-bill had its origin in an understanding initiated by Mr. J. Stanley Brown, who had become engaged in business with Bateman Company. General Swaim kindly aided Brown in furnishing the amount of capital necessary, or part of the amount, which was required to be put into the firm. The author provides a detailed and gripping account of the subsequent events that led to the court case.
