Silver Pool Allegations Tie Banks to 7 Million Ounces
Witness Owenby recounts claims by Donald that 6 to 7 million ounces of silver were purchased by a bank and brokerage group. He cites names including Hanover Bank’s Littler and Representative Ketcham, but defers naming other individuals, citing risks to reputable figures. He says the pool involved officials and New York capitalists, denies contracts with Donald, and notes Stevens’ publication echoed many points though some details differ. A deputy sergeant is en route to Florida to fetch Donald for Washington testimony.
