ReceiUers Take Charge
of Wilson DE- Company

New York Wilson & Co., Inc, one
of the four largest packing concerns
in the world, passed formally into the
control of julius M. Mayer, Thomas
e. Wilson and Robert G. Morrell, who
were appointed receivers by Judge
Bondy in the United States District
court
This action, it is asserted, makes
possible the working out Of an orderly
and equitable recapitalization, as
these receivers were selected by the
company and its bankers and credi-
tors as best able to direct its affairs
until the reinancing can be consum-
mated The way is clear for the final
rehabilitation of this big packing
house, which at one time was on the
verge of bankruptcy.

STILL SEEKING
RONDOUT LOOT
Government Sleuths Think
Millions Are Hidden
in Chicago.

Chicago-Post Office Inspector VIII
liam f. Fahy-often described as the
best known and shrewdest sleuth in
the government service-was arrested
by Deputy United States Marshal Hal
Carr on charges of being the brains
of the $2000,00O mail robbery at Rond-
out, H., on the night OF June II.
"Bill'' Fahy is the Inspector who
sent big TIM Murphy and his pals
to federal prison for the Dearborn sta
ton $380,0O0 robbery three years ago.
His bonds were fixed at $4,000 and
he was locked up in the Kane county
JAIL
Fahy made brief statement in
which he charged his arrest was due
to "frameup" by criminal enemies
and professional rivals. He will be
arraigned on September 6.
With William F. Fahy, star postal
inspector, lodged in Kane county Jail,
apparently making no effort to gain
his release on $4,000 bonds, import
ed government sleuths opened new
hunt for the 100000 Rondout mail
robbery loot, which they believe is
secreted some place in Chicago.
Officials expressed the belief that
Fahy and James Murray, West side
politician, already under indictment in
the case, are the ones in whose hands
the big carload of money fell during
the panic that ensued after one of the
bandits was shot by another during
the progress of the robbery.
Safety deposit boxes in downtown
banks, to which Fahy is known to
have had access were broken open
under the direction of Rush Simmons,
national chief postal inspector of
Washington, who arrived to take
charge Of the investigation.
1t was said that the arrest of two
more alleged principals in the robbery
is expected momentarily. Chief Clara
han stated, however, that the new sus-
poets are not members Of the postal
service.
One of the inspectors expressed
confidence that Fahy will not try to
make his bond
