POSTAL INSPECTOR
HELD AS LEADER IN
GREAT MAIL HOLDUP

CHICAGO, Aug. 81. - Charged
with being the master mind in the
$4,000 600 mail robbery at Rondout,
ILL.,, on June 70, which he took a
leading part in investigating, Will
liam f.. Fahy, postoffice Inspector
was held in the Kane county jail
at Geneva today in bonds of $4,000
He was arrested in his private office
in the federal building late yesterday
after warrants had been issued on
complaint of five eastern inspectors
Fahy, who was regarded as an
ace" among postal operatives, and
who obtained the evidence which
sent Big Tim" Murphy and his al
legged accOmpices to federal prison
for the Dearborn street station $685.
GOO robbery three years ago, charged
the arrest was due to a frame up"
by criminal enemies and professional
rivals. He will be arraigned Septem-
Der e.
According to inspectors working
on the case, it is believed Fahy is
in possession of considerable part
of the loot, although they admit
they have been unable to recover
any of the amount
Fahy has been watched ever since
few days after the robbery, Chief
Postal Inspector c.. II. Clarahan of
New York, said. He stated that in
spectors have followed Fahy to
places where they say he met the
men with whom he is charged With
conspiring.
Fahy said he supposed the com
plant was based on his communica-
ton with James Murray, a Chicago
politician, arrested in connection
with the robbery, and released in
bonds. Murray always has been a
friend of his and has assisted him
in his government work, Fahy said
The Rondout robbery was one Of
the most spectacular to occur in
this vicinity in years. Eight men
stopped a special mail train of the
Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul
railway at ROndout, twenty-four
miles north of Chicago. After sub
DUNG the clerks with tear bombs
the robbers, wearing gas mask9,
made selections of certain mail sacks
and escaped in two motor cars. Their
Of operation led inspectors to
believe they had advance informa-
ton
Three Newton brothers, ex.con-
Victs from Texas, are in Jail in con-
nection with the robbery. One ban
dit was shot by the leader, who was
to have mistaken him for
a mail clerk.
