With Her Women Friends Teacher in Girls’ Seminary Was Let'In on Steel Common at 40 as a Good Thing. Miss Margaret B. Clark, of Brooklyn, | hes brought sult ‘against J. Overton Paine, the broker who failed last spring, Asking $5,660, which Miss Clark says is fue aeveral women who formed a pool to make money in Wal! street and who intrusted their money to Paine. The sult may end in an investigation dy District-Attorney Jerome, as it ts charged by the plaintiff that Paine transferred the $0,650 to personal in- Aoresta aside from the brokerage firm through his confidential clerk, Miss Emma Haze! Greening. The plaintiff lives at No, 601 Pare place, Brooklyn.

Overton Paine, buy- ing Steel common at 40. She was then fan instructor in physical culture in a ladies’ seminary, and through her, sev- eral wealthy friends were made ac- quainted with Paine. He promised to recommend to them good securities for investment. ‘Phen Paine told us that we could @o. better dealing in stocks on a margin,” added Miss Clark, ‘He as- sured us he had inside tnformation and would protect us. That Is how we began speculating, ‘Then, after we had given Paino checks in many sums from "$20,600 et one time to as low’ as $700 at others, Paine went South. I trted while he was South to get a settlement at his Mice, but failed. I iarned later that J.
