Even if one Of them is lying and

And he realized you'd been there

/ SOON To REACH
GRAND JURY

CHICAGO, Sept. 80 UN.S0.
Driving onward in his quest for
evindence Of criminal culpability,
States Attorney John A. Swanson
indicated today that he is almost
ready to present to a grand jury
the story Of the bursting of the
$4,000, 100000 insult utilities bub-
bic.
While the prosecutor continued
grilling former associates and en-
ployeS of Samuel insult, efforts
were under way in Federal Court
to recover $15,0o0,00O in assets of
the bankrupt insult Utility Invest
ment Corporation, under whose
wings q $6,000,000 stock under
writing syndicate was disclosed.
List Given to Judge
Compiled by the attorney of re-
ceiver Calvin Fentress, the syndi.
cate list, bearing names of indi-
vidualS and concerns prominent
nationally and locally, was sub
1nitted to Federal Judge Walter c.
Lindley in the course of bank
ruptcy hearing.
Among those who were found
TO have joined Samuel insult IN
the preferred investors" pool
were such well-known political,
banking and business leaders as
Owen D. Young, board chairman
Of the General Electric Company;
Anton j. Cermak, mayor of Chi
cago; John Hertz, taxicab mag
nate and sportsman; Joseph P.
Tumulty, secretary to the late
President Wilson; Melvin A. Tray
Tor, president of the First Ma
tional Bank; Democratic Ma
tional Committeeman Michael L.
Igoe, and former Senator Will
liam Lorimer.
List Bears 318 Names
The list contained the names
of 318 persons and firms, all of
whom lost 20 per cent of the
, amount they subscribed for the
purchase of 10000 shares of
insult utility investments stock.
The stock underwritten by the
syndicate was that portion of
], 100000 shares which had not
been subscribed to by stock
holders.
Attorneys for both creditors
and the receiver of the defllnct
$3.50, 0,000, 900 organization pointed
out that the formation of the
syndicate in August, 1880, was
not an irregular proceeding.
After about 18 months of opera
ton, it was decided to discon-
tinue the syndicate and losses
were set at 20 per cent of the
Subscriptions.

"If you should happen to

try not to feel too badly and
hope, at some later date, you
