TRAIL OF THREE TRUNKS
 FOR STOLEN POSTAGE STAMPS.
Postmaster General Describes the
 Chase For the Burglars


 Washington, Aug. 2-It is not often that Postmaster General Frank H. Hitchcock contributes a detective story to contemporaneous literature, but he did today when he forwarded to congress The trail of the three trunks or who got the postage stamps"
 It is a tale of the reasons why Edgar Allen, Jr., postmaster at Rich mond, Va, should be relieved from &C., counting for S17.7sS worth of two cent stamps stolen from his post office in March, 19l0
 The story carries the reader over seven or eight states. Detectives dis guised as baggage smashers and oth- erwise, figure frequently. The tale revolves about the desperate attempt of Edward Fay and Richard Harris to ''get away with the swsg in three trunks and the trail of the trunks which led to the discovery of the clil- prits. the return of the booty and prison cells for the burglars.
 The postmaster is technically respon- sible for the loss. It has been the custom of congress to make good the losses of bondsmen in such losses.

That the two gunmen still 9nissing are hid ing in the same region where Lewis was captured was the belief expressed at headquarters tonight. and it was reported that a squad of detectives are hot on their trail.
 Said to Be Hiding Near Auburn.
 Assistant District Attorney Moss said, however, that he had received word from Auburn that the men were hiding in or near that city, and it is understood the detectives from the dis trict attorneys office have been trying to run them down there for several days. MT. Moss took charge of the case today in the absence of District Attorney Whitman, who left for Bos- ton early in the day, expecting to go to Manchester to remain over Sunday with his family. Directing his atten- tion to the police graft phase of the case, brought into prominence by the allegations of Jack Rose and Bridgie Webber that the annual levy of black mail by the police on illegal resorts amounted to $2,400, GOO, MT. Moss sum- moned a number of gamblers and other characters of the underworld whom he closely questioned. The as sistant prosecutor would not tell, however. what information he had gained.
 Discusses Police Graft.
 q do not think that the $2,4OO, ,0O0 graft figure named by Jack Rose is an exaggeration," said Mir Moss to- night, but the only absolute know ledge of the real amount is in the pos session of the grafter and not the grafted. Just who the grafters are where the money is going-is the vital question. The arrests of Whitey Lewis and Dago Frank, while impor- tant, are less important than to de- termine who is responsible at the top of the system which results at the bot tom in murder"
 Becker Still Silent.
 Mir. Moss added that he expected to go "very, very deeply" into the graft feature of the case in the course of the grand jury investigation. The grand jury cid not meet today, but will resume its inquiry next week. Police Lieutenant Becker, locked in the Tombs on the charge of instigat- ing the murder, still maintained his silence today when efforts were made to elicit an admission from him.
