Four Washington Mail
Pouches Were Taken

, NEW YORK, April 9.-According to
postal inspectors. four pouches filled
with registered mail from Washington
were stolen from the locked steel cage
OF n motor express truck on February
2s Among; the valuables stolen were
$4,000 in securities, 100 loose diamonds,
ranging from .46 karat to .96 karat. and
other gems and pieces of jewelry, the
value OF which was estimated at 5000.
The postoffice inspectors believe that
the actual cash taken may not have ex-
cecded $1,000
The robbers overlooked two regis
tered pouches, one OF which was lit
orally stuffed with paper money and
would have yielded negotiable fortune.
ii. J. Mccall. a registry clerk. who
accompanied the SIX registered pouches
from Washington, said he saw the bags
placed on top Of fifty sacks of ordinary
mall in the truck. He snapped the
spring lock on the back of tho truck
and rode to the postoffce on the seat
with tho driver. when the bags were
taken out at the postoffice. four OF the
six registered pouches were missing.
The robbery occurred while the truck
was en- route from a Jersey Central
train at Communipaw, n. j., to the New
