George Adams faces possible suicide after gold theft arrest
George Edward Adams, former business and society man and cashier at the United States Assay Office, was arrested Thursday by secret service agents for stealing about $35,000 in gold dust. Held in county jail cell under constant guard, he fears punishment and reflects on his wife and infant son. He blamed his mother in law for marital strife, said his salary was inadequate, and confessed to the crime to a pastor and former bondsmen. Authorities believe most of his six month thefts may be recovered with $34,000 in banks and $12,000 on his person, with total losses possibly near $100,000 over years.
