Aged Stock Market
Operator Dies While
Being Questioned

New York, Aug. 26-(P)-Jared
Flagg, 70 year old stock market OPP
orator, died today while being ques-
tened by Reyes Winter, deputy at
torney general, who was Investigate
ing Flagg's method of selling bonds.
Death was attributed to heart attack.
Flagg. known along Broadway as
Fifty TWO Per cent Flag" be-
cause of his boast that he could earn
his clients one per cent per week"
collapsed in his chair while Deputy
Attorney Winter was questioning him
about his methods of selling bonds
for the ManhattaRr Life Building, in
which the questioning was being
done. A doctor was summoned but
Flagg died few moments later.
Winter said Flagg came to his Of
fees in apparent good health, but was
excited by the summons. Flagg's en-
ployes had been notified that he was
wanted" and when they told him he
rushed to the offices of the bureau Of
fraud prevention in a taxi.
The aged promoter had varied
career and his name appeared in
many newspaper stories of the nine
ties and up to 1912 when a sentence
of 10 months in Atlanta prison for
using the mails to defraud was re-
voked Postal authorities in 1911 had
entered F1agg's elaborate offices in
the Tilden building and seized his pa
pers. The judge who heard his ap
peal against sentence ruled that
Flagg's constitutional rights had been
invaded and the promoter. who had
been released in $4,000 bail, was not
brought to trial again.
Prior to that he had been sentenced
for maintaining a nuisance in fats
owned by him. Charges of police
graft connected with the trial caused
sensation and first brought Flagg's
name to public notice. He wrote
volume, "Flagg's Flats" in which he
described the case in which he had
been the principal figure.
Subsequently he published another
book, "How to Solve the Social Evir'
and this. too, treated of life In the
flats he rented.
The charges Of misuse of the mails
brought Flagg's name to the atten-
ton of the public after years of COM
parative quiet. Daniel n. Morgan,
secretary of the treasury under Pres
ident Cleveland, Rev. ames T. Shock,
and several others were arrested
simultaneously.
In 1922 Flagg attracted notice when
he rented the ball room of the Hol-
land House for a week and gave lee
lures on How to Take Money out Of
Wall street"
His brother Ernest Flagg, an arch
itect, survives him.
