Suit Over 142000 In Bonds Fueled By Armour Loot Case
Mrs Margaret Klock Armour sues Miss Harriet Byington to recover 142000 in securities alleged missing from the packer Simeon Armour estate. Byington, once Armour's companion and housekeeper, admits returning some items but defense claims she did so to a degree, while Armour accuses her of a long running theft over three years as she sought luxury and social status. Armour, aged 76, says she seeks only repayment and does not intend criminal charges, though she hints state action may follow if warranted. Byington, a former nurse, worked for Armour about three years and was paid 75 a month.
