This action, Washburn said, was brought by Lazarus, acting as attorney for David Adler of Ridgefield, N. J. ‘Washburn said Adler owned 50 shares of Celotex stock, in the purchase of which Lazarus acted for him. “Further invest':ation developed the fact that Mr. Lazarus conferred with an official of the Celotex Co. several times and informed him that if he was interested in having an action institut. ed, and had any stockholder who would be qualified, he (Lazarus) would be in- terested in going ahead with it,” the letter said. “Mr. Lazarus stated at his examina- tion that he was paid $25,000 for set- tling an action brought by him in the recent Fox Tim matter to restrain the enforcement of the Clark plan of financing. * * * Although Mr. Lazarus admitted receiving the $25,000, he testified that he had not yet taken up with the stockholders the question of his retaining $15,000 and the distribu- tion of the balance. He stated, how- ever, that he expected to do 5o, n writing, I also call your attention to the fact that Mr. Lazarus brought an action against the Indian Motor Cycle Co. in Massachusetts, his client being Isidore Unger, who owned 20 shares of stock. Mr. Lazarus recelved a check for $1,000 in settlement.” Laezarus in a statement, said he would make Ibm'ofn’ln!! answer “at the proper time and place—as I feel that I have done nothing reprehensible.
