Postmaster Inspector Bigelow of Augusta
has been Instrumental in detecting and bring
ing to justice two young men who have been
using the u. s. mails for the purpose of de-
frauding. One Of these has been in Portland
Jail for some time, while the other received
his sentence in Bangor on Tuesday. The
first case was that of Eugene A. Melvin of
South Stetson, Me-, who has been sending
registered letters purportine to contain money
to New York parties in answer to adver-
tisements; but when the letters arrived at
their destination and were opened by the par
ties addressed, no money was found enclosed.
Melvin got his idea of this swindle by
clause in the advertisements stating
that money sent by registered letters
was at the risk of the firm doing
business. In one of the letters was a frag-
ment of so bill. stuck on go as to make it
appear that the letter had been riied while
in transit. The flap of the envelope had also
been soiled, as if il had been tampered with.
These facts were reported to the department
by the Postmaster of New York, and the case
was put into Mr.. Bigelow's hands, with in
structions to detect the guilty party if pos
sible. After careful investigation, Mr..
Bigelow became convinced that the money
had never been put into the letter; and when
it was learned that Melvin had sent similar
letters to other parties in New York, his guilt
became apparent. Upon being confronted
with the evidence, and being cornered by
questions, Melvin broke down, and made a
full confession. An indictment was found
against him for violation of the postal laws,
and he was sentenced to imprisonment Of 30
days in Portland jail.
Case number two was similar James
C. keene of Phillips, a youth of Is, at
tempted the same kind of business He
sent two registered letters to advertisers in
New York, purporting to contain money for
articles. When the letters arrived in New
York they contained no money, but in each
was slip written in different hand from
the body of the note, and in different ink
Catch the thief if you can
1t was the intention of the ingenious young
swindler to throw suspicion upon the depart
ment, and make it appear that the thief was
in the mail service. When the case was
worked up Keene was found guilty, and wa.
taken to Bangor for trial. On account of his
youth he got off " ith the nominal penalty of
