case. From New York comes the
statement that al save twelve or fif-
teen thousand dollars worth OF the
stamps have been recovered and the
missing ones are thought to be In a
6iIse or trunk carried ny TIRE man
who escaped when Cunningham and
Chester were arrested
Many have wondered here why the
two expert craftsmen. who are affi-
Hated with a band of the mort noto-
rfous thieves all over the country.
have not furnished the nominal bali
of S2a.oao each and gotten away
from New York
The reason Is plain, to the detee-
dives. Should the two men furnish
the bail of 1000 each and be re
1eased from custody on this one
charge. each would be arrested tnn-
naediateIy and held for another crime
Both are wanted In all parts of the
United States for post-office robberies
and Fay In suspected of having muir
6Gred four men. 1t would mean to
them. therefore, that a continuous
chain Of battling would have 20 be
g0ne through with before they were
1lnAl1y .'ouf on bail"
Who Gets Reward?
Since the interest In the case has
EAned J1st little and all are await
Ing the arrival OF the noted crooks
hAre next week. the discussion has
reverted to who will secure the re-
Mards offered by the government for
ths apprehension OF the men. The
Federal authorities will Ak this mat
ter themselves. Rewards aggregating
\ e3o.ooo are said to be standing for
The apprehension Of Fay and an
amount almost equal khis sum Is
NAered for the arrest of Chester. Inn
usediateiy after the trial and convic-
finn of the men the government Will
\ Apportion the reward.
Chief Harrison, Of the Federal in
ApAcxors. cannot accept any part of
the reward. nor can any of the in
opectors under him. They receive a
supposed to do Just such work. but
Objective Scherer. Chief Detective
McMahon, Clerk Harry Lauterback,
0f the Alhambra Hotel. and Clerk
Graham. of Murphy's, the last two
furnishing valuable tips to the off,
GERS the morning after the robbery,
i will likely come In for q share of the
reward.

The robbery 10 Richmond Is said
70 have cost the thieves just $l3. In
I addition 10 their personal expenses,
They rented a room In thu basement
ii the Klhambra, for which they paid
3Ii. and they paid the hackman who
1nnk them to the depot 81. Perhaps
This unlucky number had something
y 10 do with their arrest 40 shortly at
ter they got away from the city.
Fay has applied himself so indus

Changed Goats I'm Depots.
Two OF the trunks In which the
stamps stolen from the Richmond
poet-ofIice were shipped from the city
arrived In Richmond over the Chesa-
peake and Ohio railroad some time
Friday and were left In the baggage
room NJ the Seventeenth Street Sta

s they were hauled by negro hack
man 70 the room in the basement Of
Il the AlhAmbrn Hotel.
ERNEST Mayo. a negro OF about
twenty-five. who drives dray on the
street. told Inspectors Alberto and
6affel Friday morning that he was
poid by q short. stout man TO take the
Il trunks from the depot to the room,
and that the man opened one OF the
trunks at the sids Of the baggage
room Saturday afternoon and took
from u q light coat. exchanging 1t
for the dark one he had been wear
Ing.
Storage Of IS cents was due on each
trunk. showing that they had been in
the depot for more than twelve hours.
The negro driver accompanied In
apector Alberto to the room where
the trunks were delivered. Mayo was
not the driver who took the trunks
from the hotel In the early hours Of
Monday morning and hauled them to
the depot. He believes that he could
identify the man who employed him
1t the depot On Saturday.
The discovery OF the fact that the
trunks were shipped into Richmond
exploded the theory that perhaps they
had been bought here and that Fay
and Chester had been here for a week
