that the postmaster Of little village In
Tennessee had been convicted of having re-
turned false reports OF the amount OF
stamps cancelled at his office. and that ne
had been sentenced to pay fine of $50 and
costs. and required to return to the gov
eminent the money unlawfully secured by
him.
The postmaster, who was sixty-six years
old at the time of his arrest, was one OF the
most eccentric characters with whom the
postal authorities have had to deal in many
months. On the ground that postage stamps
were a nuisance because they sometimes
stuck together, he persistently refused to
lay in q supply of stamps for the benefit OF
the patrons of his office. Occasionally he
would purchase small quantity Of stamps,
but never from the department.
The village is located on the banks Of the
Mississippi river, and the mail supply Of the
Office Is by boat. Early in 1905 the postal
authorities became convinced that all was
not right at the post office, and an investi-
cation was ordered to ascertain the post
masters method of transacting postal busi-
ness A watch was kept on the office, and
1t was found that the postmaster had been
multiplying his cancellations by six, the
compensation Of the postmaster Of a fourth
class Office being based on the number of
stamps Cancelled. After his trial and con-
viction he admitted that he had padded his
reports, but attempted to justify his action
by stating that the post Office was located
one-half mile from the boat landing, and
that he was obliged to carry the mail sacks
to and from the landing, and believed that
he was entitled to more compensation be-
cause of this service. While on the witness
stand he stated in his own defense that his
reports were unquestionably correct, but
that the discrepancy between his reports
and the check conducted by the department
was due to the fact that the mail sacks
were robbed every night after he had COM
pleted his reports. The proof, however, or
fered by the government was conclusive,
and as the old man heard the verdict of the
jury. he exclaimed, There is no fool like
an old fool"
