Postmaster T.. =. Thompson OF the
Havana postoffice has signed sworn
statement in which he says that Sept
1 last. being in need of money. he took
from the money order funds $435. giving
his memorandum as a receipt for the
same.
When the inspections were held
Thompson ordered clerk in charge of
the money order department to place
remittances received that day, which
would not have to be accounted for until
the following day, sufficient to cover the
amount of his receipt, which was then
Withdrawn until after the inspection.
This was kept up until April {, when the
special agents Unexpectedly discovered
the receipt, which Thompson then paid.
He also admits that Charles +. w.
Neeley, late financial agent of posts at
Havana, indorsed bill for $3.50, which
Thompson had discounted by the North
American Trust company. Thompson
admits other Irregularities in conjuHc-
tlon with his department.
Warrants were issued yesterday after
noon for the arrest of Postmaster
Thompson, w. n. Reeves. deputy au-
litor of the island, and Edwerd Moya and
Jorge Mascara. Cuban clerks in the
stamp department, and by o'clock all
were lodged in the vivac the tombs of
Havana. This was done under the ad-
vice of the postal inspectors. who ar
rived yesterday. 1t is considered now
that Reeves is equally guilty with Neely.
The arrest of Thompson caused great
surprise in the city. 1t is looked upon
as the precursor of many other arrests.
General Wood felt. as did the postal in
spectors, that it would be better to
have the suspected persons arrested and
to give them an opportunity to obtain
bail, than to keep then ii definitely under
close supervision a "a time when the de-
tectives are badly needed for other work.
As the affair stands now, Thompson's
career in the postal service must neces-
sarily cease, even If he escapes term Of
Imprisonment. Moreover. his action in
giving orders TO postal clerks to alter
figures regarding stamps at the request
of Carrydon Rich. without notifying Mr..
RathbOnc. makes things look worse.
even If he acted innocently in the belief
that everything was correct.
