Theft of 81 300.

dispatch from Havana last night says:
John Sheridan, who has been in charge of
the money order department of the Havana
post Office was arrested today and formally
accused Of the theft of $500 sent the
post office at Guantanamo December g.
1925 in cash and s65 by check. He has
confessed, and admitted having destroyed
the check. Sheridan was appointed from
the Boston post office on the organization Of
the service In Cuba. He was made post
master at Matanzas. About a year ago he
was placed at the head of the money order
department at Havana, with salary Of
81, 700. He seemed trustworthy man, and
the authorities considered the eXpediency
of appointing him postmaster at the time
former Postmaster Thompson was removed.
An investment of $500 in stocks in Boston
first attracted suspicion to Sheridan. He
now offers to refund what he has taken.
