It’s a story of high-stakes politics and brazen thievery. In June 1908, Vice President Fairbanks found himself at the center of a controversy that would shake the Republican Party to its core. While in Washington D.C., a sum of $10,000 in cash belonging to H.C. Taylor, a prominent capitalist, was stolen from the Union… something is missing from the original text. However, a possible crime scene is given by the original text – a theft occurred at the Union, which could be a location in Washington D.C. but it is not explicitly stated as such. Therefore, I will write a piece focusing on the possible crime and leave room for speculation.
