Beal’s December 1894 failure involved about 130000 with creditors claims of 106000. The court remanded the Insolvency Court to reevaluate disputed claims and annul the composition decree for 75000, allowing reentry for allowance. Hypnotism claims tied to Beal by Caleb Beal’s testimony about Alfred Marcus, an elderly Boston money lender. Marcus and Beal were said to be closely allied, with Marcus presenting Beal checks to raise cash.
