...stenographic experience. I have worked regularly as secretary for the medical director of an insurance company, two sales (engineering) executives, an author, and an engineer; and as substitute secretary for a publisher, psychiatrist, eye specialist, architect and columnist.

George Whitney did what any brother would do. . . . Mr. Lamont did what a friend and partner should have done-lent George Whitney temporarily the cash to make restitution possible. There was no concealment from the Stock Exchange and could not have been, for the Stock Exchange by its vice president and chairman of its Gratuity Fund had made the demand and received restitution, had with the approval of its counsel...
