CHIEF McMILLlN-sHooT SPIES.

WASHINGTON Feb. Pot may
come as a shock TO the law-abidins
citizens OF the United States TO know
that on the payroll of the government
are at least a half dozen criminal
and professional thieves. Their
names are not In the blue book-the
official catalogue of government EN-
ploys--and their designation to duty
is done with the utmost secrecy. yet
the fact rematus that yuggmcn, -zrs
they are Officially known, are the reg
ular employees OF the postofi1ce de-
partment.
The facts leaked out at a secret
meeting OF the subcommittee on post
Offices of the house of representatives.
The facts were stated by postof-
fee inspector. Chief Frank E. Nc
Mfiifn, TO the committee. He declared
the government utilized the
cunning and knowledge OF the
underworld of some 'yeggmen" and
thieves TO obtain facts as to past
postoff1ce burglaries and to prevent
contemplated thefts.
Testimony Ordered Expunoed.
When he had completed his testi-
mony IL was ordered expunged from
the record.
One of the members declared this
method was improper and insisted
that such favors TO thieves are I'M
necessary.
In the course of the session an item
was reached which read: For dep
relations, $4,000"
The inspector was asked what 1t
meant
He explained that these "yeggmen"
travelled around at government expense
and associated with the criminal
bands in order to get the crooks" at
the first opportunity.
How do you secure these men?'
was asked OF Chief McMillin.
I'VE buy them, or their services,
just as you would buy the services
OF a bookkeeper And they take des-
perate chances, as they must mingle
with their comrades, tell us OF raid
that Is to be made, and then be
part of the yeggmen party when our
our men arrive to make the arrests.
Usually there is shooting. or course,
none of our men hurts spy IL he
can help 1t, but 1t has been our ex-
perience that the yeggmen crowd sus-
poets the right individual when the
raid takes place, and 1t is an easy
matter to shoot a man and have II
appear he was shot by the officers"
