when a group of citizens in Rockland
county had him arrested on charge
of larceny, claiming that he had mis-
appropriated the money they had
given him for stock purchasing when
he was at 32 Broadway. He was held
in $1,000 bail, which he furnished.
Then, quite broken in finances, health
and spirit, he vanished again.

had been a sensation on Broadway,
who had come from little drug store
in Manchester, N H., all spic and span
to make and lose millions in Wall

crowded ward in the Charity Hospital
