Directors on Trial in a $300000 Suit Conspiracy
Benjamin Oppenheim sues the Metropolitan Street Railway Company, its directors and counsel for $300,000 alleging a conspiracy to have him disbarred. The trial before Justice Goft opened with Mooney and Blandy for the plaintiff and Steuner, Root, Proskauer and others for the defendants. Key directors include Ryan, Whitney, Widener, Vreeland, and Orin Root Jr. The case centers on alleged bribes and a “trunk full of vouchers” used to fund the scheme, with the trial continuing amid questions of statute of limitations and evidence timing. The proceedings reference a prior disbarment of Oppenheim and related perjury claims involving witnesses in the Nugent case. The damaged-car accident involving Harriet Nu ent in 1896 and a $5,000 verdict are noted, as is a $50,000 “slush fund” claim. The trial resumes today.
