Jreamwold,LawsonWonderEstate,| _ Was Dream of Financier’s Lite Spent 22 Years Building Up Plymouth Bay Property and Now It Goes Under Hammer—Cost $2,250,000. BOSTON, Oct. 5.—On Friday, the “ominous thirteenth,” auctioneers will be busy in Dreamwold, wonderful shore estate of Thomas W. Lawson, in Plymouth County. The most noted show place of New England will go under the hammer on the day and date which is most closely associated with the whirlwind financier who, unable longer to stand the financial gaff, has thrown up the sponge. Lawson's collapse is another tragedy of the ‘Street,’ of which he has so * often written in bitter terms. It had - been known that he was up against Mt for ready cash.

It was Mr. Lawson's custom to visit the grave whenever he came home and to pray for the dead his first and only love. ‘The entire estate was the culmina- tion of Lawson's dreams. He rose from’ ®@ poor boy to a commanding figure in national finance, but always he was happy in his home life.
