RAILWAY OFFICIAL WHO IS
VICTIM OF MONEY MANIA.
Gambled with Company's Cash and
with More Stolen Funds Fur
chased Silence of Blackmailers.

Speculation with other peoples
money! not uncommon phase of the
modern mania for acquiring wealth
has proved the undoing Of another
trusted official. The victim is Charles
l.. Warmer, the local treasurer of the
Big Four Railroad Company at Gin
c%innati, who is held in 100000 bonds
on the charge Of stealing S643,0Oo.
The stealing had been going on for
years and might have continued with
out detection were it not for his fail
ure to pay blackmail any longer to a
woman who possessed knowledge OF
his guilty procedure. In a spirit OF
revenge she informed on him to the
railroad company and an investigation
was started.
Warmer accompanied Vice Presi-
dent Christensen to New York, where
he made a full confession of his crime
in the general Office of the Vanderbilt
lines, after which, without being ar
rested. he returned to Cincinnati,
there later to be taken into custody
and held in $4,000 bonds for the &C
ton Of the grand jury, which later
returned an indictment against him.
The d%efalcation of Warriner created
a sensation not only in Cincinnati, but
throughout the country. His habits,
it has been said, were correct. He did
not drink, nor smoke, nor, we are as
sured, associate with questionable per-
sons of the opposite sex. Yet, on his
own admission, he was the victim OF
a woman blackmailer. He accounts
for the disappearance of the vast
sums he stole in four ways: Through
speculation; through efforts to recoup
his losses; through blackmail levied
upon him by a former employe, who
claimed to know of his irregularities,
and through blackmail levied upon
him by a woman friend Of that en-
ploye.
Warmer, according to his admis-
sion, began taking money from the
company Immediately after he became
treasurer at Cincinnati, with which to
speculate. When he lost, he appro-
priated more money in IN endeavor to
recoup himself, and thus gradually
Sank ueepeI lIlJO lhe l AASA hS
paid other large sums to the black
mailers with which to purchase their
silence.
While a large part of the stolen
money went to blackmailers and in
speculation on the stock market, yet
Warmer made a number of shrewd
investments. He purchased a chem
ical factory in Kentucky, a pulley
works in Ohio and land in various
places. The sole object of his life
seemed to be to pay back the money
that was stolen. With that one idea
in mind his speculations became more
desperate as the deficit grew, and dur
ing the last year he permitted nearly
half of the entire sun of $643,0OO to
slip through his hands.
The method which he adopted in
stealing was to cover his defalcation
in the item, cash in transit" At the
