Tiie famous inventor strongly resented the use that had been made of his name in connection with all tho scandal and scones that had occurred. His name, he declared, had become a by-word in politics, and bad been made a peg on which (o hang all kinds of scandalous insinuations.
He regretted that tho service which the Marconi Company had for years rendered to tho post office tho Admiralty, an-d to tho mercantile marine of (he whole nation had not been deemed worthy of higher consideration. Signor Marconi further asserted that he had not speculated in shares of tho company, and was not connected with any syndicate.
