Postoffice Inspector Fletcher is home
from Chicago, where, it is believed. he
went in search of the young woman who.
1t is alleged, defrauded the Office out of

Fletcher came home alone. The officer was

ago and held for several days because he
was thought to be an accomplce of the
girl, had been talking to newspaper men
and had allowed the fact of Fletcher
going TO Chicago TO leak out.

that the young woman is an actress.
II am confident" remarked the inspector,
that the girl is a member of a profession.
