An Ex-TREAsuRER OF A RAILROAD TURNED
MAIL RoBBER.-Wm. s. Tuckerman formerly
Treasurer of the Eastern Railroad at Boston, was
arrested Monday night at New Haven for mail
robbery. He is now in Jail and confesses his
guilt
The arrest of Tuckerman, il is thought. will
explain the robbery OF the Havana mail for the
State of Maine, missing about the slst of Novem-
Der also, the mail from Portland for New York,
and the mail from Boston for New York ali
missing on the New Haven land route about the
same time. The missing Havana mail contained
about 500 letters, 100 Of which for merchants
OF Portland, and, doubtless, contained many re-
mittances.
The evidence against Tuckerman Is deemed
conclusive, and II is understood that he con-
fesSes his guilt. His operations were mainly on
Sunday night trains. He would take passage at
New York, with large trunk, in which was a
caTpet-bag containing clock weights to make il
heavy, and during the temporary absence of the
baggage-rnaster he would steal a mail bag and
deposit ii in his trunk. He acknowledges hav-
Ing $50 worth Of stolen postage stamps Five
hundred dollars in bills on the Lee Bank of Mas
sachisetts were found upon him. The PhiIa-
drlphia mail for Boston, with Others, being
missed, the several railroad superintendent on
the New York and Boston route, the postmas-
tiers, and special agent HOlbrook have been for
several weeks on the alert and have now pro-
badly captured the robber. The amount of tie
robberies is supposed to be large.
