Arnold was a close friend to Ted Annemann and John Northern Hilliard. He bequeathed his special trunk that held his props to Dai Vernon.[1]
He was originally given the credit for the Center Tear by Annemann for many years.[2][3]
Arnold was active in the SAM (member no. 1505) with Parent Assembly No. 1 in New York City. He later moved to Kentucky in the late 1930s to join the Queen City Mystics, Assembly No. 11 of the SAM, just before his death.
