Prosecution claims Jameson raid was profit driven
The case against Jameson and Transvaal raid officers closed with lawyers deeming it unanswerable. Evidence portrays a planned stock exchange manipulation led by Rhodes and the Chartered Company for Transvaal annexation. Claims of moral motive are dismissed while profits of up to 5 million dollars on a single share line are cited.
