Lindsay Denies Defrauding Women in Europe Trip Funds
Alfred Lindsay, jailed in Tombs, fights claims by eight women led by Mrs. Duke that he fleeced them of nearly 1 million through fake stock and other schemes. He asserts ongoing support to repay losses, cites monthly payrolls and payments to eight women, and disputes details in statements by Assistant District Attorney Murphy and various claimants. He singles out Mrs. Duke admitting substantial but disputed sums and argues continuous aid since 1913. The report also notes a separate Rachmaninoff recital with high praise for the pianist and the performance.
