Rev. Jernegan Home Again Sparks Salt Water Gold Swindle
The Rev P J Jernegan returned with his wife and child to Follyeston after a legal storm over his marine gold salt fraud. Neighbors glimpsed him at his father in law's home while plans to defraud persisted. The syndicate claimed to extract gold from seawater and ship it to Messrs Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. in New York, with sums totaling 15 000 to 20 000 but potentially far more, as authorities investigated the scheme and its spread to Boston and other sites. The case paints a portrait of a polished clergyman-turned-conman behind a sweeping gold hoax.
