HANDSOME FORTUNE.
"SHARE-PUSHER'S" CAREER
NEW YORK, May 12. John Factor, who hurriedly left Britain after attention had publicly been directed, to his "share-pushing" activities, has paid £300,000 to certain British investors. This is in settlement of claims against him for allegedly defrauding investors in a South Rhodesia company. E::..i«n»ition proceedings, based on a criminal charge against "Jake, the Barber," as he was known, failed in April. Factor thus retains his freedom and a handsome fortune, which he recently augmented by playing "bear" on Wall Street.
