Gold Reserve Menaced by Treasury Withdrawal
November 12 reports a tremor in the treasury as W. H. Crosman de Bros. allegedly withdrew 2100000 from the New York sub-treasury for shipment to Europe aboard the Spree. Officials fear this may signal further exports that could threaten the national gold reserve, which hovered near 1 million dollars, with prior reserves around 2.9 million in September. The department tests its resolve as the monetary system hangs on confidence while fears of a large raid persist.

Kansas Judge Indicates County May Execute Murderers Without Governor
Judge J Honk of Huvenix asserts state law allows the county attorney and judge to order execution of first degree murderers after a one year prison stay, bypassing the governor’s approval. He cites section 270 general statutes and says Vandivert and Edward county officials can hang Arnoldsod and two others for the Kinsley mayor’s murder. The ruling follows a confrontation with Governor Morrill over death warrants for the two youths.
