Further light on the negotiations
Leading to the transfer carly in 1921
OF the stock brokerage business Of
Charles A. Stoneham & Co. to e. D..

was supplied in the testimony Of Ross
r. Robertson taken privately at the

Transcript was made public Yesterday
by Saul S. Myers, one of the attorneys s
ior Manfred Enrich. receiver Of DER

testimony of Stoneham.
Robertson was partner with Stone
ham and his testimony was similar to
that of the baseball man. 1t showed
that the Stoneham firm had accepted
DER as being solvent largely on his
word and without any financial state
ment.
DER Told Of Big Interests
According to Robertson, Dier first
impressed him as a man of high finan-
cial position when they met at con-
ference at the ST. Regis Hotel during
the early part Of the negotiations.

interest in a mine, for which, he said,
he had cash offer of 100000 day

Robertson said this impression was
borne out by inquiries he made ain

he said, gave DER the highest recon-
mendation.
"The general opinion of the Street
was that DER & Co. stood head and
shoulders over anybody else so far as
solvency was concerned" Robertson
testified.
Had Only Verbal Statements
Apart from the information CLEANED
in the financial district, Robertson
said he and Stoneham had only the
