Thomas Chadbourne
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Thomas Lincoln Chadbourne (d. 1938) was an American lawyer who in 1902 founded the New York law firm of Chadbourne, Babbit & Wallace. After a 1924 merger, the firm became Chadbourne, Stanchfield, & Levy. The firm (now called Chadbourne & Parke) still bears his name.
Thomas Chadbourne was very active in the United States Democratic Party. Chadbourne was a major supporter of Alfred E. Smith, the Governor of New York. Chadbourne donated $30,000 to Smith's campaign officially,[1] and allegedly provided over $400,000 of cash and stock options to Smith secretly.[2]
Chadbourne's law partner, Louis S. Levy, was disbarred in 1939 for arranging a bribe of almost $250,000 to Federal judge Martin T. Manton.[3]
