Cravath Won't Testify in Wall Ferries Case, Rosalsky Rules
Judge Otto A. Rosalsky denied District Attorney Jerome's bid to force Paul D. Cravath to answer grand jury questions about the 1902 sale of the Wall Street Ferries Railway and declined to hold Cravath in contempt. The opinion criticizes the DA's conduct and provides extensive testimony from the prior grand jury, upholding Cravath's assertion of client privilege.
