Nwhole family for months.
Simply molsten the hair with water

all that is required. 1t makes an

ERNEST M. ARNOLD INVESTMENT
BROKER DIED THIS MORNING
Made Sensational Failure In 1910 In Which People OF All Classes
Throughout New England Lost Money
Dealings Represented Million Dollars and He Was Planning
When Creditors Levied Attachments

Ernest NJ. Arnold, who is known
throughout New England as an in
vestment broker, and whose million
dollar failure in Putnam in 1910 was
one of the biggest financial sensations
of this city and state, died at his
home on Grove street this Friday
morning at 2 O'clock from heart dis
ease, from which he had been suffer
ing for some time He had been con-
fined to the house for the past few
days, but was planning to come down
town today.
Lured by the rumors of big divi-
dends being paid by the Putnam brok-
err, money rolled into his office and
he lived like a prince, riding about in
an automobile with a chauffeur to
drive him to and from his place of
business. He bought large amounts
of property and was planning a large
estate on Grove street with Italian
gardens, artistic fountains and a villa
to cost thousands of dollars. 1t was
about this time that some of his cred
itors who were not getting dividends
and wanted to get out their prinei-
pal brought suit against the fnancier
and he was put into bankruptcy in
October, 1910. When his schedule of
assets and liabilities was filed his es-
tate dwindled to practically nothing.
The schedule as filed was as fol-
lows:
Liabilities, 1892, 267.78.
Assets, 473,28659.
These assets were inventoried as
follows:
Real estate, $134,30
Cash on hand, S138.S9.
Bills, notes and other securities,
S2,S1622.
Stock in trade, 100000.
Household goods, $500.
Books and pictures, $1,000.
Animals, $4,000.
Vehicles, $4,000
Farming implements, $1,000.
Machinery and tools, $4,000.
Other personal property, policies on
Insurance. practically all fre) $685.
10000.
Property claimed as exempt, S317.
Arnold pleaded to owing S1,177.55
for taxes and $1,757.48 for wages.
Among his holdings at that time were
the large green houses on Farrows
street.
Putnam patriot. [volume] (Putnam, Conn.) 1872-1962, 1919-02-28

Examination of his schedule as
filed disclosed that he bought lavish
ly of almost every get-rieh-quiek min
ing stock that had been on the market
in ten years. In all, some 20 or 80
different mining, rubber and other
kinds of get-rieh-quick companies
were listed and the total number of
shares of this kind of stock purchased
by Arnold, as shown by the list,
amounted to 264 ,404 shares. When
this list of stock was shown to prom
inent business man at that time he
said that he would hesitate to give a
thousand dollars for the entire lot.
Arnold came to Putnam in 1901
and opened place of business on
Union street, putting out sign; "Six
was guaranteed to the public and as
much more was promised as possible,
according to what the manipulating
broker could earn with the money
loaned. Soon rumors of large rates
of interest paid by this wizard of fin
ance became current, and people las
tened to share in the bonanza. As
high as SO per cent was paid by Ar
mold, it was said, and such stories
caused steady stream of gold to
flow into the Union street office and
it was not long before Arnold was &C.
cupying the whole block.
Arnold borrowed money on his per-
sonal notes, giving no security except
the promises made of easily acquired
wealth. His customers were merely
his creditors to the amount of their
loans. He did not take the public in
to his confidence, but the big stories
continued 10 be CIRCULATED and his
manner of living and his large invest
ments in real estate gave an outward
sign of prosperity. Thousands and
thousands of dollars flowed into the
brokers' Office and the thousands be-
came million.
Then some of those having money
on deposit wanted to get it out. Their
notes became due and they wanted
the money. That was a different
story, They were put Off with one
excuse or another from time to time
until some creditors decided that it
was time to call halt and they plac-
ed attachments on what property
could be found and a group of credit
ors petitioned Arnold into bankrupt
cy.
