a Prison Cell.
HIS BAIL Is FIXED AT $50, goo

An Investigation Demonstrates, It Ia
Said, That s45,sT1.25 Collected By
Him For the Government Has Not
Been Turned In.
New York, May 23.-Charles r. W.
Nicely, former chief financial agent OF
the postofice department at Havana,
Cuba, was rearrested yesterday by a
United States marshal. The arrest
was made on a warrant issued by Uni
ted States Circuit Judge Lacombe In a
( civil suit against Nicely by the Uni
ted States. He Is charged with the
wrongful conversion of $45, 375 .25. His
bail was fixed at $50, 900. The prisoner
was arraigned before Judge Lacombe,
and his counsel made application for a
reduction or the bail, which was de-
MED. Nelly was then taken to the
Ludlow street Jail.
The arrest of Nicely was made on in
formation furnished by Col. George Fl.
Burton, an inspector general OF the
United States army, who gives a for
midable array of figures, concluding as
follows:
my investigation demonstrated that
Charles +. w. Nicely, as chief OF the
bureau OF finance, has received the
sum OF 1922, 656.62, of which he has de-
posted with the treasurer OF Cuba the
sum Of $77,2S1.S7, and that the bal
ance, amounting to the sum of S45,-
375.25, or any part thereof, cannot be
found, and that the said sum remains
entirely unaccounted for"
Local stamp dealers are not surpris-
ed by the development regarding
frauds In the Havana postal service.
1t has been common talk in the trade
for months that there was "a screw
loose somewhere" for certain men In
the business were able to sell the sur
charged Cuban postage stamps at
suspiciously low figures.
The demand for these stamps from
collectors has been large, opening a
way, it is pointed out, by which those
concerned in the frauds could find a
market for the destroyed" stamps in
this country, In addition to sales In
Havana
One New York dealer is known to
have made a trip to Havana in COM
pany with dealer from Chicago, with
the result that soon after their return
about 5000 worth OF the stamps APP
peared in Chicago. These men, It is
said, were also allowed to pick over
the stock in Havana and to destroy
many or the plate numbers imprinted
on the sheet margin for the purpose
OF making certain numbers rare and
consequently high priced.
