other stock from holders who tiled up
with him.
Tapltn negotiated with several roads
for sale of the stock, including the
New York Central, the Pennsylvania,
and the Van Sweringens. In the origi-
nal discussions he demanded 5000 a
share. but none of the roads showed
much desire to buy the stock at this
price.
The witness testified in q CONVEX
sational, soft voice, apparently at ease.
The witness then said there was very
little trading land none after 1925" by
the syndicate.
After again saying the idea Of the
syndicate was to purchase control Of the
Pittsburgh & West Virginia and "sell
it at a profit, Taplin was asked II he
negotiated with any other roads to
buy ii. -
He said he did not talk with the Balti-
more & Ohio. but did discuss it with
the Van Sweringens "off and on over
three or four years"
He added he first proposed that the
Pennsylvania buy the stock at 5000 q
share, but they thought that was too
high"
He agreed he took the initiative in the
investigations when the Pennroad Cor
poration was formed, but said he was
not a stockholder in Pennroad.
He finally conceded" If he could not
get 5000 share he would take little
less"
what price did they offer?" Pecora
asked.
"I don't think they ever made an
offer"
Pecora then took up loan Of 81, ,s50,-
GOO made by the Pennroad to Taplin in
June. 1929
Taplin said that was the first formal
business he had with Pennroad. all the
stock sale negotiations having been con-
Quoted by word of mouth"
Taplin said he and associates owned
majority of the Wheeling and Lake
Erie stock, after a great scrap" with
the Van Sweringens.
In 1927, his group controlled 100000,
or little less than the majority con-
troll when Clarance Reynolds of Louis
vile offered to tie up with him block
| of 32,500.
This was done. giving the group a
little over half the outstanding stock
of the Lake Erie.
Says He Was Hooked
In June, 1929, Taplin said, Reynolds
said he was going to sell that block to
the Van Sweringens.
That's how they hooked me-" Taplin
testified. inasmuch as he had to buy
the Reynolds block to maintain con-
troll. paying $4,000, 600, half in cash.
This represented $120 a share. He
