Stole 58000 Liberty Bonds by Bronx Trust Clerk
Nineteen year old Robert Borthwick faced arraignment in New York after stealing 58000 in Liberty bonds from Columbia Trust Co in the Bronx where he worked as a clerk earning 17 dollars weekly. Police seek two accomplices as $6100 also vanished from the gang. Borthwick, who funded lavish parties, dinners, a vaudeville show, and a car, admitted the theft after a family discovery of 900 in a coat pocket and a $45000 stash found at his hotel headquarters. The case highlights a rapid rise from saving to costly deception amid a mother’s faith and a brother’s help in uncovering the fraud.
