MAIL ROBBERY.

The Guilty Party Captured and Sent to
Jail.
In our issue of December 8, we men,
toned the robbing Of the Jonesboro and
Kingsport mail some time in November
last and that further particulars we're not
then available. On Monday last Deputy
U. s. Marshal r. B. Goodwin caught and
brought to Jonesboro the boy who carried
the mail at the time Of the robbery. His
name is Newton Bragg of near Fall
Branch and on being charged with the
theft Of a registered letter containing $50
before the U. S. Commissioner Monday
night plead guilty and was sent to Knox
vile the next day, there to await the next
sitting Of the U. S. Court at that place.
From the evidence taken by the Com
missioner and elsewhere we collate the
following notes on the subject:
The postmaster at Clover Bottom put u
registered letter into the mail one day last
month and received his receipt for it
from the different postmasters along the
line, but from this place he got no Motif
cation of its having passed through the
postmaster's hands. He sent a tracer
after it and when that reached postmaster
Earnest here he had no evidence of any
such package as described having passed
through his office, and knowing some
thing must be wrong began to cast abou,
him for a solution OF the mystery. In Q
day or so certain things put suspicion on
the former mail carrier, and Mr.. Chas
Dosser, p%ostofice inspector, being il
town he mentioned the circumstances Ia
him. Mr.. D. Immediately went out to Fal
Branch but the boy had quit the plac'
and was no where to be found. Later |
appeared that he had gone to Green
county where the officers made wha
proved a fruitless search, the boy mean
while having come back home and gon
into hiding somewhere in the mountains
where he stayed until captured as above
U. S. Commissioners w. G. Mathes be
ing absent Hon. A. B. Wilson, commits
sioner at Greeneville, came up and tn
hearing was had before him at the Plan
ters' House Monday night last.
1t appears that the boy saw the lette
with money in it put into the mail bag
and he, after some study planned to SC
cure it. Having discovered a small hol
where a riyet had pulled through tn
Gather of the bag, while riding alon
through the woods, inserted his finger
and worked the letter out, broke the SCI
and took out the money.
On his arrival home the boy purchase
q suit of clothes and various other art
Giles. This aroused suspicion, as he WI
!, known to be q poor boy and had not y
been paid off for the month. These or
. other suspicious circumstances were Il
means of fastening the guilt on him.
{ The boy is about 10 years. old and a
/, parcntly not very bright.
