MIR. WILSON'S wRATHY
At the Escape of Those Postofice Burglars and Indites Letter Relative Thereto.


 Washington, July 5.-Postmaster- General Wilson today addressed the fol- lowing indignant letter to the United States district attorney at New York city as to the escape of the Chicago post office burglars:
 Hon. Wallace Mcfarland United States District Attorney, New York City, N. Y.-
 Dear Sir This department is in re- ceipt of your telegram of today advising the offer of a reward for the recapture of the postoffice burglars, Killeron, Allen and Russell. 1 have read with surprise, not unmixed with a much stronger feel ing, the report in this mornings New York papers of their escape from Lud- low street jail, and cannot avoid the conclusion that somebody is criminally responsible for that escape.
 Knowing the desperate character of these criminals and their long and sue cessful careers as thieves and burglars. also the plentiful means which they were reported to have at their command for corruption purposes, have been anxious about their custody ever since I learned that they had been permitted to change their personal appearance since their incarceration, with the evident purpose of thwarting Identification when ar raigned for trial. Their career as post office burglars is a long and dangerous one, and this department was greatly pleased when it learned that, after months of expensive pursuit, they had finally been hunted down and arrested. Tn accordance with your request I have today offered a reward of $1000 for the recapture of each of them but while I believe such action on my part proper and necessary 1 submit to you that those whose carelessness or criminality has made it necessary should be held to a stern accountability therefor I have the honor to be very truly yours
 CIVILIAN L. WILSON,
