FROM POOR BOY TO MONEY KING

Anthony Brady, “Melo of Wall Street/* Leaves $77,000X100. New York.—Anthony N, Brady, who, starting as a poor boy, climbed from a humble position in the Hotel Delevan in Albany to the top of Wall street's financial ladder, left a gross estate of 177,043,443, according to the report of Charles M, Friend, state transfer tax appraiser. . With the exception of John D. Rockefeller's fortune and the millions accumulated by Andrew Carnegie, the Brady estate is thought to be the largest in the country. A native of Lille, France, Brady became the "mole of Wall street” by shrewd financial work. He left 3100.000 to charity. ?
