LOoting of Railway Ticket Of

This Bandit.
ROBBED RAILROAD TICKET
OFFICES IN SYSTEMATIC WAY
Made a Great Deal of Money
Out of Thefts During
a Year.

After operations in systematic postof-
hca and railway rohbing covering a
period OF several years, Richard Henry.
% years old has finally been arrested by
government officials, and is now in the
county jail In Salt Lake. awaiting a
hearing before the United States grand
jury. He was brought here Thursday
night by Edward F. Regenhardt. United
States marshal for the eastern district
OF Missouri. with headquarters at st.
Louis. Formal charges Of postoffce rob-
hing will be filed against Henry today
attorney. Henry was arrested two weeks
ago. along with Frank Allen, a notorious
crook. who has now been taken TO Dali
flee robbery.
Made Robbing Science.
The operations OF the two men were
decidedly. systematic and during their
period OF success they made a great
deal OF money. The two men did their
work IN railway Offices for long time.
Entering a station house. they would
carefully remove from the back OF the
piles OF tickets in the racks, half a
dozen blank tickets. These they would
fil out and sell as scaiper tickets. The
railway officials would not miss the
tickets until they used UP the supply
as far down in the piles as the stolen
tickets had been removed. BY that time,
which might be as long as a year, the
two men would have disposed of the
blank tickets and have another supply
from some other station. IL is said there
are many station agents in various parts
OF the country who have been robbed OF
tickets by the pair and do not know
II yet.
Henry was arrested through his pawn
Ing Of o gold watch. II was a watch
which had been stolen by Allen and given
to Henrys mother IN st. Louis to sell.
She did not attempt TO dispose OF it. but
Henry die. The officials got after him
and. after placing him in Jail. secured a
confession to various robbcries. includ-
ing that of the postoftice at Springvlle.
Utah. He informed the officials of Al
lens whereabouts, and he, too, was ar
rested.
Did Not Know of Robbery.
Up TO the time of the confession o:
Henry it was NOT known that the Spring
vile postoffice had been robbed This
probably was because OF the care which
Henry took in removing SIS worth of
stamps from the office. He removed
some flower pots from a back window
and after raising the window got inside
and opened the safe. which was on day
combination. He did not take all the
stamps, removing only few sheets from
the bottom OF the pile. He got away
with them and as the stamp supply had
not been checked UP the robbery was
not known. In leaving The place. Henry
locked the safe. put down the window
and replaced the flower pots.
