Fight for relics of Bay State Gas in frenzied finance tale
The final part of Everybody's Magazine delves into the Bay State Gas saga with Addicks, Rogers, and a new class of financiers dubbed the Goonaie Goods. It covers lawyers, judges, receivers, and a heated fight over remnants of the company, alongside Lawson's clash with Standard Oil figures and a costly court battle. Lawson discusses a $350000 settlement and hints at further exposés linking Walsh's bank failures to a broader network of frenzied financiers across multiple states.
