Uncle Sam Loser in Long Cash Account Loss
Washington reports a Treasury misdeal left the government short over $4 000 due to carelessness of its officers. The case centers on four Georgetown stock certificates once owned by Samuel J Little and later paid to Eliza A Ricketts, with Julia Burnell later asserting it was erroneous. After years of litigation, a 1910 deficiency act provided funds to many claimants, leaving the government still short about $4 000 in this instance.
