White Laundry Bag
Only Clue to Big
New York Robbery

New York, Oct. GA white muslin
laundry bag Wednesday became the
clue upon which postal authorities hope
to locate perpetrators of Monday night s
mail truck robbery, now believed to
have been the richest haul in the his
tory of mail thefts. Frank Havranick,
the driver of the truck, told the atthori-
ties that his assailants drew the bag
over his head before they removed the
sacks of registered mail from the
truck.
In the absence of complete figures
now being compiled by force of near
ly so postal clerks. the belief gained
ground in official circles that the loss
would exceed $1,OOO,OOO.
Postal officials learned that the bulk
of stolen securities were non-negotiable
and hence useless to the robbers and
likely to be destroyed by them.
Postal Investigators worked on the
theory that the plot involved some pres
ent or recent employe of the city hall
postoffice where the looted truck was
loaded before starting off Broadway.
One of the developments was the
finding of % registered letters, believed
to have been part of the plunder, in a
vacant lot in the Bronx.
