CRUEL PERSECUTION.
Drove Cyrus c. Armstrong to Com
nit Suicide.
Wrongfully Accused Of Dishonesty and
Could Not Face Disgrace.

A most sensational sequel to the suicide
of Cyrus G. Armstrong has come to light
and the secret of The mans unfortunate
death in the Hotel Arlington, January
10, 1896, is made comparatively clear. 1t
was a case of persecution, unique as 1t
was cruel.
1t will be remem bered that nj the time
of his death he was IN official i'm the
Roger Williams Loan Association, that
he committed. suicide just before the an'
nual meeting of that association, when
the books would have been examined, and
that 1t was soon afterward discovered that
his accounts were $500 short.
Today's story, as told by Warren Wes-
ley,a year and a month after the Tragedy.
explains that deficit.
Up to 1898, Mr.. Armstrong had been
bookkeeper for NJ. Steinert x Sons Com
pany. In that year they made a change
in their financial system from single To
double-entry bookkeeping, and it was
discovered that the books called for -l2,
600 more on the instalment accounts
han the cash amounted to. Mr.. Arm
strong was charged with the embezzle-
ment and denied the charge. The next
step was TO secure the services Of George
H.. Ware, al expert accountant, with
an office on Weybosset street. MIR.
Ware carefully examined the books
md discovered tbs Sl2, 600 shortage
to ne simply a clerical error, and that
there was not n cent missing in the cash.
This naturally would have exonerated Mr.
Armstrong, but the Steinerts called in
another expert, Fred Robinson OF New
Haven. He found the clerical error. but
no actual deficiency. The result OF the
second examination was not sufficient.
Mr.. A. M. Hume, an expert from Bos-
ton, was employed, and ne, together with
Mr.. Robinson, spent seven weeks in their
examination. The result of the third at
tempt was the same-there was a cler ical
error of 80, 900, but not a penny bad been
emtezzled.
In spite of all this, M. Steinert q Sons
Company persisted in charging Mr.. Arm
strong with embezzlement, and ce-
manded Sl2, 600, and intimated that
his refusal to settle would be fol-
lowed by exposure and ruin Oh
reputation. Mr.. Armstrong consented
to pay the money which he had not taken
and his friends ascribe this weakness to
fright and nervousness. He sold all his
bank stock and paid the S~teinerts $3.50.
They told him that the balance must be
made up within a limited time or pros
ecution would follow. 1t was under this
pressure that the unfortunate bookkeeper
is supposed to ave taken the $1,000 from
the Roger Williams oan Association,
thinking that he could replace before the
annual meeting.
