CATION undertaken by the secret service
leads to no confidence that the tale
told in the communication is state
ment of fact.
Mailed on Railway Train.
The letter was signed with the name
of a woman and mailed on the railway
train between Sterling and Peoria. III.
The communication asked that the
money be sent to the post office at
Rochester, n Y. The investigation OF
the secret service developed that the
postmaster at Rochester had received
directions by mail that any valuable
package addressed 10 Tic SdIhC HdliiC
signed to the letter to Secretary Nc
Adoo should be forwarded to the past
ma ster at Van Pattep, Ill. The post
master at Van Patten had received
similar directions to forward such a
package to a railway brakeman at Nell
son. ILL.,. the name of the brakeman
not given.
There are railway brakemen on every
train that passes through that COM
| munity. The conclusion Is that the
letter is entirely a fake, without any
expectation that the money would be
sent. The final destination proposed is
too indefinite to permit of delivery.
Second Request for Money.
This is the second request addressed
to the Secretary of the Treasury re-
garding the recent $4,000 contributed
to the conscience fund. the second
largest in it's history. The first letter
asked for a thousand dollars of the
amount for the purchase of a COW, an
automobile and a set of store teeth for
farmers wife.
The $4,000 contributed to the con-
science fund was mailed out of New
York city, and was accompanied by a
note which indicated that the sender
had already contributed twice the
amount of a theft from the govern
ment, and that a conscience still I'M
easy prompted this further payment.
