Politician's Philosophy Heard in Bankruptcy Hearing
In New York on July 26 former sheriff Tom Foley testified at a bankruptcy hearing for E. M. Fuller & Company, describing the politician’s pocketbook as shared by friends. He recounted lending $15,000 of his own money and $137,500 belonging to Charles A. Stoneham to the shaky firm just before its collapse for about $4 million, and lamented his own gullibility as he quoted McGee taking the funds. The testimony framed Foley as a Tammany veteran explaining deceit in a moneyed network surrounding the bucketeering firm.
