better. About ten o'clock Tuesday

tinued in that condition until death

Chicago, June 21.-What is regarded
as one Of the largest and boldest mail
rObberies in the history Of the Chicago
post Office was detected yesterday, and
the arrests Of Walter Porter and John
Newman, drivers Of mail wagons at
the post Office, followed. Porter made
full confession, duplicating Newman.
A large amount of the letters, money
orders and packages taken by the men
was found in their lodging house. One
check found in the pile was for
so. 600, while another for a large
amount was sent from Marcus
Days bank at Anaconda The
fact that the robbers had been in the
Chicago post Office since June 1, and
that all thefts were committed since
that time, while the prisoners were
driving their wagons, makes the
scheme one Of the bOldest in the recol-
lection of the post Office inspectors
The mail was all taken in pouches
while being carried in the wagons
from the post Office to the railroad sta
