ARRESTS UNCOVER
LARGE MAIL THEFTS
Three Men Are Accused ofTak-
ing Cash Totalling $4,000
From Two Sub-Stati0ns.

With the arraignment yesterday of
two post office clerks charged with en-
bezzling $4,000 received for postal saw
Ing certificates and of third prisoner
accused of robbing a sub-station and
stealing money orders. the post office
which the Goverdnment lost more than
s175,000 had been solved. All three
men were held in heavy bail for the ac-
tion of the Federal Grand Jury
James +. Dunlay. 81 years old, of 263
West 112th street and Ralph Rosenberg,
rs, of S36 Whitlock avenue, The Bronx,
were arrested by James A. Feeney. post
office inspector. at Station I, New York
Post Office. 232 West 10th street. Dun
lay has been in the Government service
for thirteen years and Rosenberg for
two. Louis d. Schwartz, Assistant
United States Attorney, said both men
had made statements admitting that
they stole the money to bet on the
horses
Dunlay and Rosenberg worked to-
gether in the postal savings cage at the
branch, according to Mr.. Schwartz, and
gave out the postal savings certificates
issued by the Post Office Department in
return for money placed on deposit.
Their scheme. Mr. Schwartz said, was
to pocket the money and give a dcpositor
= certificates from a serial form book
that would not come into use for many
months. BY so doing the certificate
would not be discovered missing until
that book had been reached.
The clerks were arraigned before
United States Commissioner Hitchcock
on an embezzling charge and were held
in $4,000 bail each for the action of the
Grand Jury. About the same time Ir-
wing Resnick. alias skinny" was called
before the Commissioner on a charge of
robbing Sub-Station 172. at Madison ave-
nue. and 101st street. and stealing post
office money orders. He was arrested
Thursday night at Lenox avenue and
116th street
Mr.. Schwartz told Commissioner
Hitchcock that during March robbers
entered three sub-stations. stealing 1000
money order blanks on which 100000
could be realized. Commissioner Hitch
cack fixed bail at $4,000, but this did
not satisfy Mr. Schwartz. The latter
hurried across the hall to the chamber
of Federal Judge Mack and obtained al
order committing Resnick TO the Lud-
low Street Jail for an indefinite period.
Two members of the alleged band are
now serving terms in Atlanta Penten-
tiary. Mr.. Schwartz said. but they will
be brought back to this city to be tried
on indictments found against them since
they were sentenced. Other alleged
members of the band are under arrst in
Paterson, Bridgeport, Conn, and Cleve-
land. Ohio. and four others are yer to
be arrested.
Inspector c.. A. Smith of the Post Of
flee. who arrested Resnick, said sixty

been recovered Aside from Sub-Station
17a tho others robbed were No. 81. at
Columbus avenue and t07th street. and
No. 1St. in fremont avenue. The Bronx.
The stolen orders are numbered from
1891 to $4,000. inclusive: 20.437 to
20.60o, inclusive. and 1920 to 12.i00.
inclusive Mr.. Feeney suggests that all
