$500 IN CURRENCY STOLEN AT
TRANSFER IN AND
Registered Package of New S. Bank
Notes for Garrett National Stolen

Registered Fackage or New Sd Bank
Notes for Garrett National Stolen
The theft of a registered mail pack
age containing one hundred and sixty
new bills of the denomination of S.
totalling $500, mailed from the Treas
ury Department in Washington, D. c.,
to the Garrett National Bank at Oak
land, from the Baltimore and Ohio
transfer station at Cumberland, Sep
TENDER 10Th, was made known Tues
day night by the postal authorities in
bulletin to the police at Cumber-
land.
The bills are numbered from 7786
to 1925 inclusive and were right off
the government presses. They are
unsigned by the officials of the bank
and are now in. circulation in Cum
berland and vicinity.
The Monograph bulletin which was
distributed among business houses in
Cumberland yesterday morning states
that on September 20, ,1921-nearly
a month ago-these notes, all of SIS
denomination and which required the
signature of the president and cashier
of the Garrett National Bank were
stolen, it is thought, after they had
been delivered from the postal car
to the truck at the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad in Cumberland. 1t is
believed that the registered package
containing these notes was taken dur
ing the interim while waiting transfer
between trains.
On the same train there was also o
package of currency from the Treas
ury Department consigned to the First
National Bank of Oakland, which was
delivered to the bank the morning
after the robbery through the proper
channels.
The Postoffice Department says
these notes are now being circulated
without signature, since the theft.
Those that have reached the Treas
ury Department have been crumpled
and soiled to indicate their use.
1t is learned that several suspects
have been under surveillance by Fed
eral agents in Cumberland since the
discovery of theft, which was reported
at once, but that the robbery was
kept quiet in an effort to apprehend
the thief.
AS far as known, no arrests have
been made. All banks, as well as the
public, are asked to carefully scrutin-
ize all s. bills that may come into
their possession and to notify the
police if any attempt is made by any
person to pass them.
