Note: Arthur Cherep Spiridovitch (also spelled as "Spiridovich" in various news articles) died on October 22, 1926 at age 75. He was found dead in his hotel room at Barrett Manor, Arrochar, on Staten Island. His death was caused by asphyxiation from gas. While the official report ruled his death accidental, a police investigation could not rule out suicide.
Nice! I liked this part:

I think this kind of thing lends credibility.
