The list Of securities owned by Mr..
Mills Is particularly interesting because
of the high value fixed for some stocks
and bonds which are little known and also
because Of the large number of securities
held by MIR. Mills which the appraiser
found to be worthless. The face value OF
these worthless securities aggregates many
millions. Mr.. Mills got n number OF them
as collateral for loans which were never
paid.
