Wall Street syndicate hatches Suburban Trolley plot
John Marshall and Elizabeth Rogers spark a bold scheme involving the Urban Traction group and Barr to gain control of Suburban Trolley. Barr engineers a market raid, buys 40,000 shares via trusts, then floods the market to force a drastic dividend cut. The ploy draws in Rogers and Barr’s brokers as the stock dives and later starts to rebound under unexpected counter-moves.
