The City of Chicago in behalf of subscribers retained a bright young lawyer named Benjamin F. Goldstein, legislative investigator of the Armour Grain scandal, who had prowled through the books of the telephone company for a minority stockholder. Mr. Goldstein, then 34, suggested that two other experienced lawyers were also needed. George Ives Haight, a gruff, strapping patent attorney and his partner, big, jovial Edmund David Alcock, joined the fight...
