Denial of Lawson Charges by New York Banker
New York banker Pinny Fisk, named by Thomas W. Lawson, testified before the leak inquiry that he never had Wall Street accounts with McAdoo or a senator, denied revealing control over Secretary McAdoo, and said he had no privileged information. He admitted advising on offices for a Federal Reserve Bank building but asserted no securities tied to McAdoo were purchased by him or his firm in the last four years. He described Lawson’s claims as possibly the result of a disordered brain and urged caution about Lawson’s credibility while noting Fisk’s continued cooperation with the committee.
