The MONEY ORDER SHARK
Is Wanted In Half q Dozen Of other
Places.

From all that can be learned at present
John r. Ford Is liable to spend the balance
of his life In jail. When arrested on Tues
day night 1t was only for one post office
order. To-day there are half dozen Of
postofflce inspectors in this city oil Of
whom would like to have the man In their
districts. He has successfully worked Id
other cities and came here from Baltimore.
Inspector Maxwell and the other men
left for New Castle this morning to see
Ford on business. The Governments off.
cials were hot foot on Ford's trail but
though they travelled day and night 1t
took the State Detectives of Delaware only
six minutes to got the man. -.
The authorities would not talk on tho
matter to-day but enough vas CLEANED
that the leader Of the gang had been ar

would be was published In tho REPUDLI.
CAN.
Over 800 money orders had been taken
from the Belmore post office, and then tho
association began its operations. The
post office department has lost nothing by
the issuing Of the counterfeited money
orders, as they were not paid. A money
order Is never paid by the post Office until
the duplicate Is forwarded BY tho Issuing
office.
Ford spent a restless night at New Castle.
He Is worried because there are dozen
cases to be brought against him.
To show tho stuff Of which Ford Is made
the following little incident will 90 good
ways. Yesterday when the Deputy Mar
shall took him to New Castle they had to
wait at tho corner Of Fourth and Market
streets.
While sitting on n dry goods box, a man
came along and wanted to buy two Of tho
boxes. Ford agreed to sell two OF the
boxes for half dollar. He was about to
take the money when the Deputy Marshal
interfered. The hearing on Saturday
morning will be an interesting one.
