Case Against Postmaster
May Be Dropped

Last Friday evening Postmaster A.
NJ. Reed OF Silverton was arrested and
taken to Denver by Deputy United
States Marshal Jefferds, on COM
pIaint, alleging embezzlement. filed
by Postoffice Inspector Smith Of Den
yer, says the Standard. He was taken
before United States Commissioner
Hinsdale, who fixed his bond at ST.
500, which was supplied by his broth
er, Samuel, who arrived in Denver
shortly after Mr. Reed. 1t is admitted
that in the matter of Mrs. Reed act
ing in the place OF Mr.. Reeds brother
as assistant postmaster during the
latter's absence, 1t was nothing more
than slight irregularity and does not
constitute sufficient grounds for prose
cution. The second count of slight
discrepancy in his accounts hlr. Reed
says can be easily explained, and his
attorneys, Mullins and Waidron are
confident that the cases against him
will be dismissed at the preliminary
hearing.
Mr.. Reed has many warm friends
in Silverton who deprecate the whole
unfortunate affair and have the ut
most confidence in his honesty and
ability.
Lee Grimes, who has been acting
postmaster since Mr.. Reed left, says
he found the office to be in first-class
condition and every account in such
shape that it could be readily checked
all of which will go long way In
Mr.. Reeds favor.
His preliminary hearing will come
up before Commissioner Hinsdale II
