hill IS 'stSfT. FREE
Alleged aRoyaIton Robber
Could b. mot BE
Held

st. Paul Globe: On motion, OF the
United States district attorney. R. II.
Hill, held on the charge Of stealing
$500 worth of postage STAMPS from the
Royalton postof1ce July 81. was DIS
charged by the United States Com
missioner George c. Spencer Thurs
Cay.
The government was unable to
show that the stamps found in Hills
possession when he was arrested, q
few days after the robbery, at Ran
dolph, Dakota county, were the iden-
tical stamps stolen from the Royalton
postofice, and hence moved for the
mans discharge.
The stamps found on Hill were of
2-cent denomination, the same as
those stolen from Roya]ton, but were
In sheets of 100. where none but
sheets containing fifty were stolen
from the Royalton postoftice The
postof6ce inspector working on the
case has been unable to locate the
postoffce from which the stamps were
taken, if stolen at all. The stamps
we're not returned to Hill.
There have been a number of post
Office burglaries in Minnesota during
the past few weeks. with one in North
Dakota and one in Wisconsin, but
none of the Offices burglarized hes
reported any Quantity Of stamps taken
in sheets of 100, such as were found
in possession Of Hill when he was
arrested.
The alibi sought to be proved by
the man since his arrest was far from
convincing to the officers and the
evidence of certain Royalton witnesses
was positive that Hill was seen about
the village on the night of the post
Office burglary, but in view of the
fact that the Royal'on stamps we're In
sheets of fifty Hill could not be held
for completely in the burglary. The
stamps, which were recovered when
Hill threw them away when arrested
at Randolph, are in the custody of
the inspectors having charge If the
case, but will be returned to The de-
partment at Washington and will BE-
destroyed. - ---.-
Hill was discharged from the county
Jail, where he had been held pending
