Two Million Loan Details Tie Carnegie and Fertilizer Trust
Grand jury probes a complex web involving Carnegie loans to the Independent Fertilizer Company and the Cummins syndicate. Notes totaling about 2.4 million dollars, secured by fertilizer shares, were issued with limited cash backing. Key figures include Robert B. Smith, Watkins Crockery, and Bradley Marger, with Willam Ferguson as clerk. Federal and local authorities examine how funds were diverted to finance Tennessean copper deals and the Van Norden venture, while testimony traces the flow of notes, bonds, and options through the Carnegie Trust and related entities. The Fertilizer Company’s formation and subsequent transactions reveal a scheme to consolidate fertilizer interests and influence control of output, with Mangled funds used to pay options and settle debts.
