Untermyer Denies Acting For Germans At Hearings
Samuel Untermyer, noted international lawyer, testifies before the Overman Senate Committee on German propaganda, denying he ever acted as counsel for Albert or German agents, insisting he was pro Ally from the war’s start and acted only on Albert’s request and as a friend. The session examines letters naming him as Albert’s counsel, a possible sale attempt involving The New York Sun, and other contacts with German-linked figures amid claims about his fees and memory gaps.
