HOBOKEN, N. J., April 27.?Herman
Kaney, forty-four years old, is dead today from shock. Throughout much of
a thrifty life Kaney entertained a deep
distrust of banks, so he kept his life
savings, amounting to $1,700, in a dis
carded vest.
Kaney was packing preparatory to a
voyage to London, where he was to
wed, when he discovered that the vest
had disappeared. The doctors say the
shock was too much for a weak heart.
