Belief That They Were PurlOfned In
New York ONCE.
A dispatch from New York last night
says:
w. H. Brendel, collector of customs at
Buffalo, N. Y. spent today in this city in
consultation with the subtreasury officials
and secret service officers over the theft OF
$500 from an express package containing
$1,000, consigned from Buffalo to the SUBJ
treasury here. The original package was
today filled with $1,000 in bills of the same
denomination as were in 1t when it left
Buffalo.
Certain pin holes had been made In the
covering at Buffalo, and when the package
was again filled these pin holes. which had
penetrated two portions of the covering
We're found to fit exactly. The package
was carefully traced, and 1t was shown
conclusively that 1t had not been tampered
with from the time 1t was receipted for by
the express company until 1t was delivered
at the subtreasury. 1t was also proved that
it had been receipted for in good order at
the subtreasury, and that the seals were
unbroken.
After the expert examination today the
secret service men are inclined to think
the package was tampered with after It
reached the subtreasury and had been re-
ceipted for. Assistant United States Treas
urer Jordan refuses to discuss this phase of
the case, saying there were no new deveI-
opments, so far as he had been informed.
Collector Brendel returned to Buffalo last
night
