The story of Mrs. Catherine Adams,
as told by Mr.. Murphy. is that she met
Lindsay in the brokerage office of Her.
rick q Bennett, in Forty-second street
in 1920. This firm has since failed.
Lindsay gave her some good tips, Mrs.

time. Finally when she had accu-

tire amount to put in his pool" she
said, and that left her without cent.
One Receipt shows $4,000.

she said Lindsay had signed for S27. .0O0
Later he got check for $500 from
her at her home, 1872 West Seventy
fourth street. this being the only time
the broker is said to have accepted a
check.
He also got two 500 Liberty bonds
from her, Mrs. Arnold said. and wanted
her to sell her home to let him have
$10,0 more. At this. however, she
balked and refused to have any more
dealings with him.
Mrs. Arnold said her first suspicion
was aroused when Lindsay told her he

the case. She did say. however that
she was one of Llndsay's victims and
that the broker had taken everything
she had.
He got practically everything" she
said. Jewels ana stocKs. He left me
almost penniless.
Miss Nilsson said she had known Lind
say in business way for about two
years.

Efforts were made also to find other
victims of Lindsay, but the majority cf
