that the money should be placed in cIrcu-
lation.
Several attempts were made to borrow
money from him, but Gist refused to loan
1t. He appeared to know impostors as soon
as they approached him. and refused to in
vest in any of their schemes. If they Sc
cured any of his money 1t was by picking it
up from the street. where he had thrown 1t.
Soon after Gist had made his last visit to
the bank he was arrested by Patrolman
Pendleton, who found him throwing money
into a crowd of people at Union Passenger
station. Gist had been drinking some that
DAY. and the policeman sent him to the
Central Station. where he was held until
his relatives could be notified.
Two of his unc]es came to the city at
once. and the young man was taken into
court, where one of the uncles was ap-
pointed guardian for him. An effort was
made then to recover some of the money
Gist had thrown away, but very little of it
could be found,
At one street corner, where Gist was said
to have thrown away something over s., 600.
a druggist had picked up ten of the $50
gold pieces and he returned them to the
guardian OF the young man. Aside from
that only a few dollars could be recovered.
Young Gist Is at liberty again. and does
not appear to regret the disposition he made
or the money. 1t is said that his relatives
were preparing to bring suit to break the
VIII and get their share of the money. but
the young man forestalled them. Some of
them have declared that the amount thrown
away by Gist was not $40. 900. but a much
smaller sum. Gist has not made any state
ment about it. but it is certain that he had
$4,000 on deposit in the bank, and that he
drew that amount.
Lawyers have told Benjamin GIst that
his title to the legacy left by his uncle was
perfect, and that the will could not have
been broken. The young man did not ex-
press any regret for the loss of the fortune.
he mad determined that he would not be-
come involved In litigation with his reIa-
tfves, and also that they should not receive
any of the money left to him.
