approached Lewis Cass Ledyard, of
counsel for J. P. Morgan, with the
statement that he represented Speaker
Clark and Senator Stone, but had done
so at the direction of David Lamar.
Lauterbach had denied on direct ex

such statements to Ledyard. Lauter

Lauterbach denied on direct exam

conversations with Wall street leaders
and that his proposal to stop Congres
