Seabury counsel, onetime director of, lawyer for and borrower from the defunct bank ? was frequently brought into the damning Bank of U. S. testimony. Forthwith, Counsel Kresel...
Last week the New York City Board of Aldermen added $5,000 to the $2,500 reward already offered by the New York Evening World for finding Justice Crater. Famed Lawyer Max Steuer said he would raise the money if the Aldermen could not legally do so.
