Mr. Pecora
Dear Sir
I want to congratulate you upon your earnest and successful investigation of our so called (Gentlemen Bankers) The combined occupants of Sing Sing Prison are but infants in crime, compared with the Gentlemen of the Chase Bank and the gentlemen who worked with them. While Mr. Fox was in control of Fox Theatre his stockholders were well treated. I have followed the case very closely and I ask the committee to believe
his testimony. How could any right thinking man believe a word that, that man or those men who were hand in hand in that Chase Bank, who took the Fox Theatre stockholders money, and did what that felt like with it putting most of it in their own pockets. I hope their families are proud of them. They have taken money from widows and orphans and I hope God will deal with them as they deserve if Justice wont, nearly all I have is in Fox Theatre Stock.
(A Widow)
Hoping Mr. Pecora
you will have good luck
you will have good luck
