On This Day

January 8

State treasurer William Walter Taylor, a Redfield banker, fled to South America with $367,000 from the treasury today in 1895, one day after newly re-elected Gov. Charles H. Sheldon praised him for managing the state's funds through trying economic times. The attorney general, future governor Coe Crawford, hired Pinkerton detectives to track down the errant banker. Taylor returned to Pierre in the summer of 1895 and pled guilty to embezzlement, serving only 18 months for his crime.
