CLEVELAND, May 9-Painful sur
prise was created here to day by the
discovery of the causes leading 10 the
suicide last Sunday OF Deputy Post
master Robert Harding. At the time of
the suicide rumor was current TO the
effect that Harding had maintained i'm
proper relations with a widow, bat the
report was not credited owing TO the
high reputation of the deceased. To-
day Postmaster Thomas ZONES, a brother
of U nited States Senator Jones, said:
Harding was thief and he carried
on his msnipulations In this way: We
receive orders from business houses for
large quantities of stamped envelopes
with the address printed on the side.
These We forward TO Washington, where
they are printed. The money Is col :
lected IN az vance, and intt ead of filing
the orders Harding showed the money
down into his pocket"
For two days past Harding's accounts
have been examined, and, besides q
! large lot of dead letters which should
have been sent to Washington months
ago, orders and samples of envelopes
were found, showing a shortage OF al
least 81 200, which amount may bt
doubled. Harding was prominen
