Attorney Fees and Corporate Wealth

As indicating the greatness of corporate wealth, the opportunities for greed and graft, take the fee of Attorney John W. Brady, who prosecuted the Waters Pierce Oil Company in Tarrant County, Texas. The company was fined $1,625,000, and his fee amounted to $975,000. The next largest to this on record in the South is one which Senator Bailey received in Texas, of $200,000 from the Kirby Lumber Company. It is stated that Brady's fee would purchase 50,000 acres of Texas land and stock it with 20,000 head of the finest longhorns.
