Swanson today revealed his inquiry into the illstarred Instill utilities regime and disclosed another case in which an Instill official used his concern's stock portfolio to supply collateral to cover a bank loan. The incident was disclosed. Swenson said, in his examination of Marshall h. Samp.- -11. former president of the Central Illinois Public Service Co., an Instill operating subsidiary. Sampsell was called to aid in tracing the complicated loans which preceded the Instill collapse. Sampsell was quoted by Swanson as admitting that he took $90,(100 in stock’without security from the t etltral Illinois portfolio. The sei urlties were used to bolster $500,000 in personal bank loans with Chicago banks. Swanson said Sampsell told the investigators Martin Instill, brother of Samuel, knew and approved of the transaction. Previous discovery of a similar transaction involving $400,000 worth of stuck had brought Satnpsell's resignation at the demand/ of receivers. ,Y
