COUNTRY YOUTH CHARGED
WITH RlFLlNG A LETTER.
Elmer Weidman Falls Into Postal
Authorities Clutches Because
Curiosity Prompted Him
to Open Registered
Mail.

Elmer Weidman. a country youth of 16
years, is a United States prisoner in the
city Jail, idle curiosity tempting him to
rifle registered letter containing So in
trusted to his care.
Richard Weidman. the boys father is the
subcontractor of star mail route between
Erman and Mozelle, two small towns out
IN the State. Erman is in Jefferson County
and Mozelle about seventeen miles away in
FRANKLIN County. Elmer carried the mail
between the towns. riding horseback, aid
carrying the mail pouch on his saddle.
AS ne rode over his route, young Weld
man says. he came to hollow tree He said
ne hid the money in the tree and rode on
about his business. That night, when re-
turning. he took the money out. He wanted
10 see more of the world than he had seen
riding the lone mail route. He lives about
a mile from Erman. and the farthest he had
ever been away from home was to Mozelle.
He had never seen n railroad train until ne
took the route. and the first time he was
ever on train was when he was arrested
and brought to ST. Louis from Mozelie,
which is on the Missouri Pacific
Elmer is typical unsophisticated coun-
try youth. who has gone to school only
five weeks of his life. and says he had ITO
idea that he was doing wrong when he took
the money. He said he thought he would
borrow 1t for awhile. and then return 1t.
With the money he intended to come to st.
Louis. While he was preparing to come to
the city Post Office Inspector caught him
