Jail ever since up to eleven o'clock
this morning. finally obtained his
release at that hour on bond i'm the
sum of $500. II is said that local
business men went on his bond.
II will be remembered that the
young man made a confession at the
time of his arrest and plea of
guilty on his part is a matter of
official record. However. there are
rumors that he did this merely In
order TO shield somebody else. and
the young mans own conversation
seems to point to the conclusion that
he will put mp defense and will
contend that after, all. he was not
the one who did the stealing. He
has remarked that he might make
some statement about the matter,
but did not like to do il for fear
of duplicating some one else. II
is stated by some that he merely
received the stamps from somebody
who owed him money. and that
after the stamps proved to be stolen
property lie concluded tn take the
blame on himself just TO SHE'D n
friend. All this. however. as far as
known To the writer of this article
is mere street gossip. Certain re-
marks that the young man has ut.
tered. however. lend some color 10
this theory.
