Evidence was principally a confession which Banker Mitchell had been forced to blurt out before a Senate committee (TIME, March 6); that last year he had bought all the stock back from Mrs. Mitchell at the price she paid,* and that his previous "sale" to her was "frankly for the purpose" of tax-avoidance...
