The big bear pool would turn bull in a moment and the whole market would rise by leaps and bounds. He called old Dugro. "Buy for me now, Amalgamated Copper, the market leader, for all I'm worth!" The broker glared at him. "Buy! Buy in this market? Man, are you mad?" "I said buy!" was the firm answer. "What's the limit?" "Not a share without a stop loss order under it." "Well, with the stop?"
They are the only outsiders who ever make a dollar in Wall Street. The doctor followed old Dugro, the head of the firm, into his private office and asked his advice. He got it sharp, short and to the point. "Go home, Doctor, and stay there. This market is no place for an amateur. It's all I can do to keep the wolf from my door in these days." "But I've received some important information."
Men began to talk and laugh and feel human for the first moment in two weeks. Dugro grasped the doctor's hand and his deep voice rang above the roar: "You're a mascot! You've broken the spell! For God's sake stay with us!" Suddenly another cry came from the crowd at the ticker. The boy at the board sprang to the instrument with a single bound, his eyes blazing with excitement.
"Keep it dark," old Dugro scowled. "Don't tell it to your worst enemy. If you've got a dollar, nail it up and sleep on the box." "But I've some information I think I'm going to act on and I want to open a small account with you." "All right. I've warned you," was the grim answer. "I wish you good luck."
Dugro handed the memorandum to Woodman with a grunt. "It don't take long to get 'em to-day!" The words had scarcely left his lips when a hoarse cry rose from the crowd hanging over the ticker. Copper had leaped upward a whole point between sales. A wild cheer swept the room. For ten minutes every stock on the list responded and began to climb. The doctor's face was wreathed in smiles.
The jury awarded him $2,500, which amount the court reduced to $300, Justice P.H. Dugro saying that a Negro when falsely imprisoned did not suffer the same amount of injury that a white man would suffer an opinion which the New York Age very naturally characterized as "one of the basest and most offensive ever handed down by a New York judge."
