Erleigh Sorrow. South Africa's breezy Norbert S. Erleigh, whose ?100,000,000 New Union Goldfields empire was recently thrown into receivership (TIME, Nov. 24), was arrested on a charge of theft for borrowing ?352,875 from New Union without the board's permission. He was let out on bail after he promised not to 1) leave the country or 2) dabble in New Union business. He found these conditions infuriating. With two new gold strikes on lots adjoining properties controlled by New Union, it looked as if New Union might get back on its feet without Erleigh...
...funeral train in 1865. For years it carried little other traffic. Although the Monon's 541 miles of track tapped the rich Chicago and Ohio Valley areas, the Pennsylvania and New York Central Railroads carried the region's freight and passengers. In 1933 the Monon went into receivership. It all but stopped carrying passengers; they were a nuisance. It ran freight trains only when there was enough freight to fill them.

Western Union, which had cried recently that it could not help but go into receivership, turned in a profit of $500,000 in the last quarter...
...sorry financial history. Allen E. Walker, oldtime Washington real-estate man who started to build the Mayflower, lost it in a mortgage deal before he got through putting the basement in. Finally completed at a cost of $13 million by the mortgage-holder, William J. Moore, it went into receivership in 1931. In 1940 the Donner Estates picked up the hotel and its mortgage for 12? on the dollar. But lately the Mayflower has been grinding out tidy profits as regularly as it has had to say "Sorry, sir, no rooms left." Its estimated...
