"The improvement in financial morals is almost unbelievable," Mr. Fitkin said. "I'll tell you a story that Tom Lawson used to tell about „ the days of frenzied finance. "Once upon a time a bank robber was interrupted in the midst of his delicate work by the sound of approaching footsteps. "The bank robber put down his acetylene drill softly. He pressed ills gloved hand--gloved to obviate fingerprints-- to bis thumping heart.
