  • ワーム主計官強盗事件 ([ˈhwɑːm] WHAHM) （ワームしゅけいかんごうとうじけん、Wham Paymaster robbery）は、1889年5月11日にアメリカ合衆国アリゾナ準州であった、金貨および銀貨で2万8000ドル（790,410ドル相当）を運搬していたアメリカ合衆国陸軍主計官とその護衛に対する武装強盗事件である。 少佐ジョセフ・W・ワーム(Major Joseph W. Wham)はアリゾナ準州のフォート・グラント(Fort Grant)からフォート・トマス(Fort Thomas)まで給与を運んでいたとき、少佐ワームとそのバッファロー・ソルジャーの護衛11人は、伏兵攻撃を受けた。襲撃中、盗賊らは、兵士8人にけがを負わせ、彼らを援護物に退却させ、給与を窃盗した。砲火を受けた行動の結果として、軍曹ベンジャミン・ブラウン(Sergeant Benjamin Brown)と軍曹アイザイア・メイズ(Sergeant Isaiah Mays)は名誉勲章を授与され、他の兵士8人が表彰状(Certificate of Merit)を受けた。男性11人が逮捕され、大部分がピマ(Pima)の近くのモルモン教コミュニティー出身だった。逮捕された11人のうち、強盗の容疑で8人の公判が行われたが被告人は全員無罪とされ、盗まれた金銭が戻ることはなかった。 (ja)
