Embezzlement and War Office Reforms Highlight Nation News
Hackensack bank failures linked to cashier embezzlement prompt distress as Barry the defaulter is jailed for over $80 000. General Sherman’s wartime report urges army growth to 30 000, fort armament, and strategic concentration along the frontier amid rail expansion.
