BANTON TO TAKE UP
MACMASTERS CASE
Inquiry Into $1,000, 900 Fail
ure Likely to Be Brief as
Books Are Available.

District Attorney Banton will begin
this week an investigation into the af-
fairs of the defunct Consolidated Stock
Exchange brokerage Arm of r. H. Mac
Masters & Co., which failed for about
$1.000.000. having assets Of less than
s5o.coo. The investigation probably will
be brief as the Books of the concern
are available.
The head of the Arm nominally was
Roy H. MacMasters. who has testified
or the stand In the bankruptcy proceed
ings that he knew nothing about the
business. He was started In the bro
kerage business by his stepfather, John
F. MacMasters. and the evidence taken
has shown that the latter, while not
partner was really the directing head
OF the Arm. He drew a salary Of $3.50
week and was 'sicke for some
weeks before the flrm failed, during
which time his son-in-law was trying
to borrow enough money to keep the
business going.
David Kahn. attorney for the trustee
In bankruptcy. has sought to have the
elder MacMasters declared & partner so
his assets may be available for the
creditors
The senior MacMasters has been ex-
amined and his testimony, not hereto
fore published, shows that the failure
did not make a great difference in his
manner of living, as he spent $10,9oO
in four months. His wife, Mary C. Mac.
Masters. mother of Roy. was shot and
Killed accidentally in January. The fail.
ure occurred In February. The elder
MacMasters was married again in April
He sold his house in Brooklyn, the
furnishings and his motor car and went
to live with his bride at the Hotel Mar
seilles. The $4,000 from the sale of the
house Is tied UP by court order.
MacMasters ties titled he sold the fur
niturc for $4,000. He took the auction
eer's check for 5000 and then turned
around and had the auctioneer cash it
fr him, receiving cash. At the time
OF his examination he had spent, so he
said, all but 5000, although in addition
to what he got from the furniture he
had realized $500 on a mortgage he held
and $1,000 from the sale Of his car
Then YOU have used up since the
bankruptcy for paying incidental ex-
penses approximately 5000 from the
car. $500 from the mortgage and 5000
from the furniture" said Mr.. Kahn.
MacMasters was quite mysterious
about the 5000 in cash, saying he did
not carry it around with him. nor did
he put 1t in bank OF safe deposit.
