Original political handbill proclaiming Heinze is convicted under two charges. "Frederick Augustus Heinze was young, brash, charismatic and rich. Heíd made millions off the copper mines of Butte, Montana, by the time he was 30, beating back every attempt by competitors to run him out of business. After turning down Standard Oilís $15 million offer for his copper holdings, Heinze arrived in New York in 1907 with $25 million in cash, determined to join the likes of J. P. Morgan and John D. Rockefeller as a major player in the world of finance. By the end of the year, however, the Copper King would be ruined, and his scheme to corner the stock of the United Copper Co. would lead to one of the worst financial crises in American history--the Panic of 1907". from smithsonianmag.com 12x9".
