...Horace E.) invested $5,000 apiece. John Gray put up $10,000 but "didn't think the stock would amount to anything and wouldn't advise anybody to invest in it." Horace H. Rackham had $5,000 that he hoped would grow. Mr. Couzens' sister, Mrs. Rosetta V. Hauss placed $100 in the pie. These people and a few others had children and grandchildren who were born with silver spoons in their mouths. Today the living and the heirs of the dead are being sued by the U. S.
