(Special Dispatch to Daily Alaskan.)
Seattle, Nov. '24? George E. Adams, cashier of the Seattle assay office, has been
arrested. He is charged with a shortage of $35,000. He admits the charge and places
his peculations at ?150, 000. He says he abstracted three ounces of dust from each poke
and can placed in the vault, replacing blacksand of the same weight. The government
officials have noticed and increased loss in the values of gold at Seattle as compared with
the same gold sent to San Francisco where the two assays invariably show a difference.
Adams was caught yesterday in the act of exchanging the gold and blacksand.
George E. Adams was formerly cashier of the old Merchants' National Bayk,
which failed in 1893. He was married u year go.

it was learned today that attorneys

ever, by stopping at Juneau, where, it
is understood, she will institute a
counter suit for a divorce and posses
sion of the children.
