Stock Market Suicide

page 74: "One company, Union Cigar, went from $113 to $4 - in a single day. The company's owner jumped to his death from a building on Wall Street."

I wonder what his name was...or what became of his company, family, etc. Time magazine referenced this incident in a 1987 article by Otto Friedrich, but no name. I'm not sure of the original source for the info.

A later Stock Market reference in the book discussed.
