Horatio W. Bottomley

(1860 - 1933) British journalist and financier. His name constantly cropped up in the courts in connection with bankruptcy writs and fraud charges. He was a very talented writer and orator.

An acquaintance found Bottomley in prison stitching mail bags."Ah, Bottomley," he said, "sewing?"

"No," Bottomley replied, "reaping."
