Attorney Thomas Lincoln Chadbourne, director of the bank and its counsel, called all the ugly rumors lies, spoke of their "utter baselessness, sheer malignancy." He said Chatham Phenix would prosecute Mr. O'Connell to ''the very limit of the law," was busy seeking other rumormongers. If convicted, Monger O'Connell may face a $1,000 fine or one year in jail...
