Remarkable Discovery of Missing
Package Lifts Guilt From
Shoulders of Good Man.

Some time ago The Hawk-Eye
printed a story relating how the Rev.
Charles E. Burdette, formerly of Pc
oria, had been indicated, after
thirty years, of any connection with
the disappearance of $4,000 from a
registered package sent out by the
Peoria post-oftice where Mr.. Burdette
was employed as registry clerk.
The story is stranger than fiction
and shows how suspicion may fasten
itself upon an entirely innocent man,
owing to that fearsome thing, cir

1t was not stated until yesterday
that the Rev. Mr.. Burdette is broth
er of Bob" Burdette the noted hum
orist, formerly of The Hawk-Eye, and
now himself a minister in Los An
geles.
The disappearance of the money
from the postotfice had cast cloud
on the life of Charles Burdette, which
has now been lifted, by a remarkable
discovery which establishes his entire
innocent.
registered by the late John Com
stock. The evidence was all against
young Burdette and after the first
investigation Comstock demanded
that Gen. D. w. Magee, then postmas-
ter at Peoria, who died last year, dis
charge the registry clerk.
Comstock carried the matter to
Washington and an inspector came
down from Chicago to make full re-
port. He recommended that Bur-
dette be discharged, but the post
master refused to discharge him, and
Burdette continued as registry clerk.
Burdette was working to get money
to study for the ministry. A few
years after the money was missed he
left the postoffice and went to Brown
university, then to Newton academy
and when he was ordained as a min
lister was assigned as missionary in
Asam, India. He now has pastor

to inspect the sack decided that it
needed a new bottom, and, with a
knife, he ripped the leather bottom
off.
Then he saw above it big manila
envelope, caught by the corners,
which served practically as a false
bottom. He opened the envelope and
found it to contain the twelve Com
stock letters and the missing $500,
which had been wandering about the
country for thirty years. When the
finding of the money was reported to
the Peoria postoffice friends tele-
graphed to the Rev. Mr.. Burdette
that the cloud hanging over him
so long had been dispelled.

On the other hand, many farmers have

method is to let the cattle and sheep

1t is curious fact in connection
