Before the Marconi Commission, Mr E. T. Powell, editor of the Financial News, gave evidence that on April 18th, there was a crowd of stockbrokers and the public clamoring for shares, while four insiders, Leybourne, Harry Isaacs, Marconi, and Rufus Isaacs dominated and controlled the market. Mr Powell, under pressure!; admitted that lie had heard rumors that Mr Churchill had invested in Marconi’s, but he did not believe the rumors. Mr Churchill, who was indignant at being called, said in his evidence that the charge was most insulting, and was based on tittle tattle.; He never dealt in Marconi’s. If anyone said he did he was a liar and a slanderer. The Chairman of the Committee assured Mr Churchill that they only gave him the opportunity to deny the statement, but Mr Churchill refused to bo mollified, and walked out indignantly.
