Mr. Sage. "I have my assistants, my clerks, the same as you have in your office."
Mr. Choate. "You loan money, you manage these railroads, banks, trust companies, and the other affairs that you have mentioned. Did you not have dealings in stocks?"
Mr. Sage. "Oh, I buy and sell securities occasionally."
Mr. Choate. "Do you not deal in puts and calls and straddles?"
Mr. Sage. "I have in years gone by."
Mr. Choate. "These affairs take your whole time, do they not?"
Mr. Sage. "No, sir; I have leisure. I do not devote all my time to business."
Mr. Choate. "I think that is all."
