...Montgomery courtroom, this ambition led to her undoing. While state auditor, she began dabbling in her own business on the side, taking out 26 bank loans, mostly to speculate in land sales and help her husband Marvin expand his trucking business. Once installed as Alabama's $23,000-a-year treasurer, she quickly turned her new powers to personal use. Chief among them was authority over the cash in the state treasury, sometimes amounting to $550 million, which by law must be deposited in Alabama's 311 banks...
