CARRIER GOES WRONG.
Was Honest in Service\for Twenty
Two Years.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


NEW YORK, December 22-The post Of
flee sleuths nailed as a thief yesterday q
man who had record of twenty-five years
of honest service as a letter carrier and
who had saved enough money out of his
pay to be pretty comfortable.
He is Alexander Heine, who went to work
for the government as a letter carrier in
1854. He confessed to Post Office Inspectors
Meyer, Ashe and Jacobs that he had been
stealing money from letters and abstract
ing valuable packages from his pouch for
several months-doing it carefully and sys-
tematcally after getting a line on the kind
of mail he was in the habit of delivering to
the Christian Herald, the Revew of Re-
views. the day nursery in ST. Marks place
and other publishing concerns and charita-
bic organizations.
How much Heine had stolen he could not
tell himself and there was hardly any way
for the post office inspectors to find out, but
complaints have been coming in to the post
office from dozens of business houses and
organizations for several months.
This afternoon Commissioner Shields ad-
mitted Heine TO "a in the sum of $500.
