May 18 Wednesday – Charles Webster reported to Sam:

“The bubble has burst. Sneider has confessed…that the whole thing was a swindle from the beginning….Sneider says he’s going to commit suicide” [MTNJ 2: 393n120]. Note: Sam’s loss on Kaolatype would eventually be some $50,000 [Powers, MT A Life 452].

Livy wrote to Harriet E. Whitmore, asking her and her husband to spend Saturday evening (May 21) to meet her brother and his wife [MTP].

Sam transferred 200 shares of stock to Frank Bliss (probably Am. Pub. Co. stock) [ViU].
