Gen Grants Jewels Plundered on Drunken Spree in Missouri
A St Louis report recounts jewels presented to Gen Grant found missing after two train workers Fitz Patrick and King allegedly drank in Arkana and Texarkana. The pair were captured in Kansas City and Sedalia as detectives traced a silver soap box containing several gold badges. King claims he bought them from a porter for 200 dollars, while Fitzpatrick says he knew nothing of a robbery. Investigations suggest multiple gifts to Grant were stolen, potentially by others in his party’s entourage. The story ties the missing items to the March Grant party trip to Galveston and Mexico.
