FuSTER HELD FOR TRIAL.
HE FAILS TO ACCOUNT FOR THE
MISSING LETTER.

His Case to Come Up At the November
Term Of the United States District
COurt-The Examination Before Cam
missioner Erwin Yesterday--The Evil
dence Cnder which He was Held.
EN-Postal Route Agent II. f. Foster, Of
Wilmington, n. c., was given a bearing
before United States Commissioner
Erwin yesterday, ana was held for court
il 500 bond. The defendant was charged
with the abstraction OF 4 registered letter
from the mails on Aug. y.
United States District Attorney s.
a. Darnell conducted the prosecu-
ton, and James Atkins, Esq, rep
resented the defendant William IL.
Culpepper, Assistant Postmaster at
Camilla, Ca, testified that a
registered letter containing $50 was
mai'ed for Savannah Aug. q. The
letter was delivered 70 j. c. Few, Postal
Clerk on the train, who receipted for it.
The etter next passed into the hands
OF Dawson B. Snels0n, postal
CLERK on the route between ChattahOochee
and Wavcros5. Snelson recelpted for IL
A. Townsville, Aug. -. 1t was numbered
70, and Snelson wrote a description Of it
in p book kept for the purpose.
Il. +. Foster, who was at that time run
ming between Charleston and Jackson
vile. next received No. 70, aud gave "A re-
ceipt for 1t. What became Of the letter
after that is unknown to the authorities
George F.Tyson, who receives the regis
tered packages at the railroad depot IN
this city, stated that he received only 30
letters from Foster on the night OF Aug.
-, aud receipted for 81. When the
mail reached the post office, the
registry clerk, John +. Rowland,
did not see No. 20, so ne testified, and he
was positive that it was not received
there. Tyson did not receipt for the -
letters separately, but counting them over
reoeipted for the whole number. Among
those recelpted for was No. 20, the one
which Tyson says he did not receive.
There was also one, No. 2I2, from West
Wyuton, Fla, to Savannah, which was
not on the list receipted for, but which
was included in the 81 The theory OF the
prosecution was that Foster distracted
No. 10, but did not enter No. 272 on his
hook knowing that in the hurry Of trans
fer the letters would be counted and
Teceipted for in a lump. The defendant
took the stand and stated that he knew
nothing about the matter that could eX-
plain what became OF the letter.
Il can make no explanation except
what the book makes" he said. 1.-The
book shows that received a receipt for
No. 20 from Tyson"
The counsel for the defense contended
that the theft of the letter was not proved
on Foster. The defense neither admitted
nor denied turning the letter over to Ty-
son, but maintained that If Tyson did not
get the letter, although he receipted for 1t,
the package was lost.
The case will came up at the next term
VI the United States District Court.
