Shrewd Spartanburg Lawyer Tricked by Gold Brick Hoax
A Spartanburg lawyer, S. J. McCravey, acquired a costly gold brick block once tied to the Cantrell estate. Originating from a deceptive dealer, the 30 pound “brick” proved brass with a gold coat and a real metal core. Cantrell paid 12 000 dollars and mortgaged 2 000 more, only to learn the block was a clever fraud. The block remains as a heavy reminder of the old man’s folly.
