The bookkeeper for a Chicago tailoring firm said that Stratton once paid $1,400 in cash for four suits and a tuxedo; the defense pointed out that Stratton was preparing for his inauguration. Clerks from several women's stores testified that Mrs. Stratton and Stratton's two grown daughters made cash purchases totaling thousands of dollars, mostly for dresses, shoes and undergarments.
