Cleverly Caught-A Registered
Letter Thief Of st Vincent
in the Tolls.
(Winnipep Free Pres

(Winntpeg Free Press)
Mr.. J.C. Vanstrome is postmaster at St
Vincent. w. G. Vanstrome is nephew,
and was in the employ of the e. P. R
at st. Vincent station. At times, wher
his uncle was very busy, or was away, he
would assist in tile post office. For some
time past the postal authorities both
American and Canadian-have been cog.
infant of the fact that registereds letters
from Manitoba and the Northwest; have
been tampered with, frequently arriving
at their destinations with only a portion
of the moneyin them that was remitted
by the sender. An American govern.
ment detective, Mr.. w. H. Henshaw,
was set to work to ferret out the source Of
the trouble, and by the persistent use OF
decoy letters, he gradually narrowed the
sphere of his operations down to the post
office at St. Vincent. The ordinary mails
from Manitoba pass through St. Vincent
without being made up again, but all re-
gistered letters are checked there and re-
mailed. On Friday last two registered
letters containing marked money, and
sent to different addresses in tho States,
were mailed from Winnipeg by tho detec-
tive, and OH Saturday they were received
at st. Vincent. The detective went down
on the same train, and on the nail leay-
ing st. Vincent he found that beth the
letters had been opened, and some ofthe
money taken out. He came back to st.
Vincent and observed some of the mark
ed money in possession of the young
man Vanstrome, whereupon he arrested
him and ON searching him fQ :noa Of
the marked money, togethefwitn so.:le
that was not -marked-in all about $95.
When the young man saw thatthe Jig
was up, he owned up to having taken
money from letters at different times.
He was accordingly taken to Hallock for
trial. No suspicion attaches to the post
master, who had the utmost confidence
i'll the integrity of his nephew up to the
time of his arrest. Mr.. Henshaw, the
detective, has been here for a couple of
weeks past working up the case, and it is
satisfactory to know that he has at last
nabbed the thief and put stop to his
little game.
