agent OF the Post Office Department., arrested
the messenger of Messrs. Wiedershiem 4 Co.,
claim agents, on Seventh street, near the Post
once, on the charge OF opening and abstract
Ing money from letters directed to the Arm;
The arm had reported numerous losses Of
money through the mail, and afndayits had
been sent them by parties who had sent them
money, and the case was taken In hand BY Mr..
Depro, who suspected the messenger, and, for
the purpose OF trapping him placed two decoy
letters In the mall, one purporting to come
from Ashley, ILL.,, and the other from Fairfield,
Michigan.
The letters each contained a Ave dollar note,
marked. These letters failed to come to hand
yesterday morning.
Mr. Depro took the messenger In custody,
when he made q full confession Of his guilt.
One OF the notes was found at smiths barber
shop, L street, and the other with Mr.. Flesh,
who keeps an eating bsloon In the neiRhbor.
hood. He was taken to police headquarters,
where he 10 held for . hearing. In come.
quence Of the previous good character Of the
young man, Messrs. Wiedsrshiem Co. re-
fused to prosecute the matter.
Too much credit cannot be g lyen to Mr..
Fred. Depro for the prompt and EN- Client man /.
ner In which he managed this matter.
