NEW YORK — J. Truman Bidwell, who resigned as chairman of the New York Stock Exchange after his indictment on tax-evasion charges more than 20 years ago, died in a Naples, Fla., hospital Tuesday at the age of 83, it was learned today.
He was elected chairman of the exchange in 1961, the first independent broker to be so honored. In 1962, he resigned as chairman after his indictment by a federal grand jury on charges of evading about $60,000 in income tax. Bidwell was acquitted of the charge in 1963.
