SLIM CHARGE,

The charge against +. w. Tasting OF
st. Louis as made by u. ). detective
last week turns out to be very slim
charge. The story of the detective Is as
follows: Il placed an envelope contain
ing three silver dollars and one 5Oc silver
r.eee in the mail pouch and saw the
psuch placed in Mr.. Hastings posses
sion. When the letter reached its desti-
nation the soc peice was not III the en-
yelope with the balance Of the money L
also saw Mr.. Hastings spend the 0Oc
piece for his dinner. / also found sew
eral letters in an unused pigeon hole
that had not yet been thrown, when
made the arrest" The above is all, III
substance. there is to the charge against
Mr.. H.. and all that the detective thus
far claims.
Mr.. Hastings explanation is as fol-
lows: "While working the mail on the
day when the trouble arose, l found
SOC piece on the distributing table where
the letters had been dumped. did not
know whether it came out of some letter,
was loose in the mail pouch from some
postoffice. or belonged to me, as L had
change of my own that might have
dropped out on the table. | placed the
SOC in my pocket, thinking that If 1t
came out Of letter, an inquiry would
be made and / would then report II.
When | paid for my dinner l probably
issued it, as had no idea of any wrong
being connected with that particular
piece Of money. The letters i'll the I'M
used pigeon hole were thrown there be-
cause of the fact that some of them were
directed to an Office that had been aban-
doned and i'll my hurry TO work the
letters and do the work correctly, L
threw all letters | did not instantly
know where they should go, into that
pigeon hole, intending TO work them
later, and place them properly.
The envelope from which the soc piece
is supposed TO have been taken, and now
in the hands of the court, does not show
the least signs of having been tempered
with in any manner whatever, and 1t is
more probable that the SOC piece was
never placed into the envelope, but
dropped into the pouch. I. w. Whit
ney is looking after his interest, and his
friends are satisfied he will prove him.
