[CN Editor -- I cannot vouch for the accuracy of *all* of the 
following. It may or may not be true, I just don't know.]
 
[The following is a transcript of a recorded phone message put 
out by a group in Chicago called "Citizens' Committee to Clean Up 
the Courts [CCCC]." (312) 731-1100 and (312) 731-1505.]
 
Hi! Sherman Skolnick, Citizens' Committee to Clean Up the Courts, 
9800 Oglesby.
 
The city of Chicago may have to declare bankruptcy as the result 
of federal court corruption here!
 
The details:
 
Some years ago was started a group of class action federal suits 
challenging the firing of city workers when a new administration 
takes over. Called "The Shackman(sp?) Cases", the suits were on 
behalf of tens of thousands of city workers similarly situated. 
The basic cases were under the authority of Chicago federal 
district judge Nicholas J. Bua [pronounced BOO-ahh].
 
After years of the litigation bouncing around the courts here, 
coming into the picture was a new lawyer, a sole practitioner, 
Gordon Arnett(sp?), who took over one aspect of the cases. His 
own investigations uncovered that many of the cases were *never* 
actually heard or resolved, but were fraudulently dealt with in 
the hallway! Yet the cases were referred to in Shackman case 
decrees as though they were valid precedents!
 
Now a "fraud upon the court" is a legal term for fake decisions, 
implicating crooked judges, crooked lawyers, and other court 
personnel. To try to force a settlement, however, Gordon Arnett 
made one fatal mistake: he showed the crooked city attorneys the 
copy of his fraud petition *prior* to filing (involving, among 
other things, fake transcripts sent up to the federal appeals 
court). Now on the very day he was supposed to have *filed* that 
petition, he was found dead! That was in 1993. Foul play was 
suspected.
 
Recently, channel seven TV [ABC affiliate] here went on with a 
three minute, watered-down version of this story, omitting many 
key details.
 
Our chairman [CCCC] interviewed the original Shackman case 
federal judge, Nicholas J. Bua, who had the cases, the core 
cases, right up until he resigned the bench in November '91. Bua 
told us that fake transcripts are a long-time problem here in the 
federal court. Some laugh, however, at Bua's claim that federal 
judges are powerless to correct this. But he's right that the FBI 
and the Justice Department are "chicken" to jail numerous federal 
judges and lawyers implicated.
 
Official court reporters have many times complained to us they 
risk loss of their government contracts if they don't go along 
with all this and if they speak out about the fake court records.
 
Re-opening the patronage cases makes the city liable for 
*hundreds* and hundreds of millions of dollars. They informed 
channel seven [that] further stories will push the city 
government into bankruptcy. ABC network, parent of channel seven, 
threatened however to fire numerous channel seven brass if they 
drag their feet.
 
Now notice this: city hall threatened to shut down channel seven. 
Several years ago, channel seven remodeled their headquarters, 
the State-Lake Building, using their own TV technicians to do the 
wiring. *All*, reportedly, without a city permit. Also, new 
carpets were put in, giving off toxic fumes from the glue, making 
channel seven workers ill. The city says channel seven's wiring 
is improper and can blow up the whole north part of downtown!
 
Boxes and boxes of Shackman cases, official files of court 
documents, have disappeared, apparently stolen from the court 
house.
 
Also, a footnote: former judge Bua reportedly is named in 
*sealed* federal grand jury indictments charging him with massive 
tax evasion due to bribery and corrupt practices.
 
We have no hang-ups like channel seven, so you can hear the truth 
right here.
 
In Chicago, see us on cable tv, channel 21, 9 pm [cst] most 
Monday evenings.
 
Play it again: Richie Daley and the Dope Business.
 
New message Saturday; we change it several times a week.
