Postofiice Department Does Not rsy Re-
wards for Dead Ones.
Some very curious cases have been
decided by the law department relating
to awards for the capture of robbers of
postofiices. Mr.. Milliken has just rem
dered decision against claimant at
California, Mo, where a postofsiee safe
was robbed. In sueh eases the depart
ment pays $500 each for the conviction
of the persons engaged in the robbery.
There were five persons concerned in
the affair, but the authorities had no
clew TO the men. 1t happened, how
ever, that the guilty persons were in
saloon some time afterward. and one of
them got into dispute with farmer
and lively row ensued, in which the
farmer shot and killed the man. The
other men ran out, but were captured
by other persons. not because they
were possoffice robbers, but because
they were engaged in the row.
1t turned out on examination that the
man who was killed was the ringleader
of the robbers and had the bulk of the
booty on his person. His death re-
suited in proving completely in the rob-
berry upon the other four men. The
men who captured the four have been
allowed $780, The farmer made appli-
cation for 5000, but it is held that tho
reward being offered for the arrest
and conviction" of the robbers, he can
not be paid the amount. The dead
robber was neither arrested nor con-
victed of the offense. Mr. Nilliken
said that it was rather hard, but. under
the law he could do ncthinu else.
