RIFLES mail,
BGRNSLETTERS
Ford, Negro Driver, Held
Under Bail After AL
legged Confession
NOTHING OF
VALUE, HE SAYS

Pleading guilty TO riiing a mail
pouch. John Ford. Negro. was held
today by United States Commissioner
Cam for the Federal grand jury un-
der $4,000 bail.
Ford was arrested late yesterday
afternoon. He is about 20 years o,d
and has been employed as a diver
by Tyson Brothers. who hold the
contract for hauling mail between
the postofiice and railroad depots.
Postal Inspector Connor and Post
master English visited Ford in a cell
at the police station last night and
say they obtained a confession of his
guilt. This confession was put in
evidence at the hearing before Com
missioner Cam today.
The rihed pouch was one of
a number in the wagon which
Ford was driving. After the
pouches reached the postofiice yes
terday the receiving clerks noticed
that one of them had a long slit in
1t, and upon further examination.
1t was found that the inner pouch,
containing registered mail, was miss
ing.
Postmaster English was imme-
diately notified and with the
aid of Captain James Ward OF the
Pennsylvania Railroad police, and
local detectives Riley and Gamble.
arrested Ford. The detectives sub
sequently obtained from him con-
fession that he had stolen the reg
istered mail pouch after cutting
open the outer pouch, and had
searched the contents IN a coal yard
at Scott and Ford streets, near the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad sta
tion. There was nothing Of value in
the letters, however, the negro said.
and he burned them This spot was
visited and in an old bath tub in a
shed, was found the cnarred remains
OF the registered mail which the ne
/ gro had stolen.
According TO Postmaster English
! it is believed the registered mail
was all Of foreign origin and con-
/ tained mainly correspondence. The
negro, Ford, said that he had open
ed a large number of these regis
tered letters, but got nothing OF
value from any Of them. He then
/ burned the entire lot, one letter be-
ing recovered With sufficient OF the
address TO be readable.
Questioned as to wny he had Sc
lected this particular pouch from
the others. the negro youth is said
to have replied that he felt the baI
and believed it contained valuabl,
packages.
The Wilmington post office ha
been singularly free from posta
depredations, it having been hv
years ago last Christmas Eve sine
= Albert Johnson, a mail wagon driver
committed practically the same kin,
Of theft. The only difference bein
that the pouch rihed by Johnson a
that time contained mail of grea
value. all OF which was subsequent
