Trail to the man higher up in sugar trust case begins
The hunt for the man higher up in the sugar trust case starts from the Havemeyer and Elder refinery docks in Williamsburg and follows a path toward Wall Street. Six laborers and a dock superintendent were indicted for manipulating weigh scales to steal extra pay, with hearings set next week. Henry L. Stimson leads the pursuit, while Henry D. Clausen and John E. Parsons defend the company’s stance, noting no current indictments against Oliver Spitzer. Havemeyer’s death leaves holdings with the family as prosecutors press for broad accountability.
