After Railroad Thieves.

One of the measures passed at this
session of Congress made it felony
to break the seal of railroad car
containing interstate or foreign ship
ments of freight, express or baggage
or to enter such car with intent to
steal, or to steal, conceal or by
fraud or deception obtain from
any railroad car. station house, depot
or platform any goods or chattels
which are part Of an interstate or
foreign shipment of freight, express
or baggage, part of the contents of a
piece of baggage also came under the
provisions of the act, which applies
with equal force to any person who
shall buy, receive or have in his
possession any freight, express or
baggage or other goods or chattels so
stolen knowing the same to be stolen.
The punishment for any of these
offenses is fine up to five thousand
dollars or imprisonment up ten years
or both, and prosecutions may be
instituted in any district where the
crime shall have been committed.
The carrying or transporting by a
person of any such freight express
baggage or goods or chattels from one
state or territory into another know
ing to have been stolen constitutes a
separate offense for which the same
punishment is prescribed. Prosecu-
tions for such transporting of stolen
property may be instituted in any
district into which the goods or
chattels may have been removed or
into which they have been brought.
The making of these acts federal
offences, together with the severity
of the punishment provided, is ex-
pected to prevent much crime of this
character, as all offenders have g

courts and the promptness and
certainty with which they mete out
