MYSTERY SOLVED.
Mail Pouch Robber Located After AS.
siduous Search by Sheriff.

Theodore (alias "Sadum') John
son, young negro ex-convict resid-
ing in this city, was arrested Tues
day night on suspicion of being i'm
plicated in the recent theft of mail
pouches from the local Texas & Pa
cifc depot. After a lengthy inter-
rogation by Sheriff Edward C. Han
son, Johnson admitted having stolen
the mail bags from the depot the
night of October Il last, but stead
tasty denied having taken any part
in the later robbery, committed the
night of February 4.
Johnson's connection with the bur-
glaries was established through testi-
mony given by Mary Stewart, a negro
woman, who was observed to be wear
ing pair of very fine shoes closely
resembling a pair which was among
the mail matter contained in one of
the pouches distracted from the depot
on the occasion Of the October rob-
berry. The shoes were being sent to
New Orleans by the wife of a local
merchant, and a nephew of hers, al
SO in the mercantile business here,
recognized them when he happened
to catch glimpse of them on Mary
Stewards feet few days ago. He
informed Sheriff Hanson of his dis
conyery, and the Stewart woman was
at once taken into custody and close
w questioned. She finally admitted
having secured the shoes from
Stadium" johnson, but claimed she
had paid him ST for them, on his
representation that he had bought the
shoes for his mother, who was unable
to use them on account of the size
being too small.
Johnson, on the other hand, upon
confessing his guilt of the mail bag
robbery, declared he had given the
shoes to the Stewart woman for a
Christmas present. In view of the
| fact that the woman had taken the
precaution to remove with a knife
| the trade mark of the manufacturer
stamped in the soles of the shoes, and
had further obliterated with blue ink
certain identifying marks and mum.
hers appearing on the lining, Sheriff
Hanson is convinced that she knew
the footwear had been stolen, and is
holding her in jail pending further
investigation.
Stadium" johnson is an incorrlgi
BILE thief, having served several Jal
terms and one sentence in the penl
tertiary for various acts OF larceny
His latest period Of confinement ter
minated only a few months ago
| While he admits being concerned II
only one of the two more recent
thefts of mail pouches, the authorize:
are certain that both robberies car
safely be charged to him, since. the
circumstances surrounding the crimes
were practically the same in both IN
stances, and the rified pouches were
found secreted in nearly the same
spot on the Bayou Lafourche batture
