who have been raising checks identified
as part Of the contents of mail pouch

places near by have been called upon to
cash many Of these checks, the face value
OF which has been raised from three or
four dollars to as many hundreds.
The mail pouch was at first believed to
have been lost accidentally and a search
checks sent out by local banks and firms
to Western correspondents, They were
mainly for small amounts.
The theory Of accidental loss was rudely
shaken few days ago when local bank
received from an Asbury Park correspond
ent a check for $500. 1t was one of the
checks sent in the missing pouch and had
originally been for IS. A microscopic en-
animation showed how it had been raised
Since then almost hundred such checks
have been discovered, and in each case the
amount has been raised to hundreds.
During the investigation the Post Office
inspectors found pile of torn checks in
a New York lodging house. These checks
were so marked that any raising Of their
amounts would be impossible. The arrest
of individuals now under suspicion the
authorities intimate will bring to light an
astounding and widespread fraud.
