Lawson Denies Personal Profit In Gas Case Testimony
In the Supreme Court, Thomas W. Lawson claimed he proposed Kidder Peabody & Co to take up reorganiza tion plans. He said the $75 000 check from Mr. Rogers had nothing to do with the fast transaction and Rogers sought $1 000 000, later settling for 10 percent of profits. Lawson linked $85 000 to a copper deal and described sending a draft letter to Rogers via Hemenway and Albers before Rogers received the correspondence. The session included counsel wrangles and Lawson was allowed to qualify as an expert on gas matters before adjourning.
