THEFT OF MAILS
BELIEVED SOLVED
CoIored EmpIoye of Park
Road Station Charged
With EmbezzIement.

Postal inspectors believe they have
solved the mystery Of repeated thefts
of money from letters addressed to
residents Of the Northwest section with
the arrest Of colored night clerk at
the Park road postal station on charges
OF embezzling and secreting money from
the mails.
The clerk, Marion H. Pender, 81 years
old, of 1904 s street, was trapped with
test" letters and marked money, the
inspectors announced today, and has
made full confession"
Arraigned yesterday before United
States Commissioner Turnage, Pender
was held for the grand jury under
bond of $4,000 and today was confined
70 cell at the first precinct upon his
failure to post bond.
Held for Stealing Package.
George Winfield Brown, white, 4s
years old, Of 828 Twelfth street, was
also arraigned on charge of stealing
mailed package from the top of a
mail box at Tenth and streets Brown
was arrested by Policeman r. s. Bryant,
who said he saw the act. Brown was
held by Commissioner Turnage for the
grand jury, under $4,000 bond. In
spectors found no connection between
the two cases, however.
According to w. j. s. Satterfield,
inspector in charge OF the Washington
division of the Postal Inspection Service,
Pender was trapped by Inspectors S.
w. Purdum and Leo A. deWard after
a process of elimination" had CEN
tered suspicion on him. He was visited
at his home Sunday, when the in
spectors say they found 33 letters in
his possession, including the test" mis-
sives and marked money.
Inspector Satterfield said the inves-
tigation was launched after numerous
complaints regarding undelivered mail
were received from patrons of the Park
road station. In most OF the cases
money was involved, but not in regis
tered letters.
Found Letters in Possession.
With suspicion directed upon Pender
last week, the inspectors last Saturday
put in the mail number Of the test
letters with currency incloSed. Pender's
duties required him to distribute these
letters, along with other mail, to the
various carriers operating out of the
station. The letters failed to reach the
hands of the carriers, and Sunday
morning the officers found them in
Pender's possession, at his home, as yet
unopened, it is declared.
Inspector Satterfield said that Pender
made a complete confession, but in
sisted the thefts had been few in num-
ber. Mail losses at the station had
been noted over long period, however
and the inspector said today he believed
Pender had forgotten" some of his al
legged misdeeds.
Most of the pilfering, Satterfield said
involved small sums inclosed in un-
registered letters, and the aggregate
losses are not thought to have been
high. The inspector said the employe
felt" the money in the envelopes with
his fingers, and held out these letters
from the general distribution.
Federal statutes provide penalties Of
$500 fine or five years imprisonment
or both, upon conviction of embezzling
and Secreting money from the mails.

LAUNCH 2PROBES
IN EMBEzZLEMENT
Treasury and Justice Agents
Investigate as Young Teller
Is Freed Under Bond.

Two separate investigations by Treas
ury and Department of Justice agents
were under way today in the case of
George Willard Bennett, 25-year-old
teller of the Farmers & Mechanics
Bank Of Georgetown, released from Jail
yesterday under bond on a charge Of
embezzling more than 100000 of the
banks funds.
While Bennett has made restitution
in the amount of $4,000. it was under
stood today that at least one phase Of
the official inquiry into the case is
being conducted on the theory that
perhaps it will lead to more of the
missing funds. While officials Of the
bank at which the young teller is al
legged to have worked his system" over
a period Of seven years were not hope
full today that any other funds would be
recovered, they were admittedly at a
loss to understand how Bennett could
have spent or lost in speculation nearly
500 900 without attracting attention
from the outside.
Rover Institutes Probe.
United States Attorney Leo A. Rover,
it was learned, instituted the investiga-
ton by the Department of Justice,
where it was admitted that agents
working out of the local office Of the
Bureau of Investigation are looking into
the Bennett case at Rover's request.
The purpose of the investigation Is to
assist the district attorneys office in
preparing evidence for presentation to
the grand jury.
For the Treasury Department sep
arate investigation is being made per-
sonally by r. w. ByerS, chief national
bank examiner. When his report Is
completed it will be forwarded by the
controller Of the currency through Sec
retary of the Treasury Mellon to Dis
trict Attorney Rover. A copy of the
report also will be sent to the Depart
ment of Justice.
Meanwhile, young Bennett went about
his business today, apparently uncon-
cerned by the activities Of Federal
agents, who are determined to conduct
a thorough inquiry into his business
transactions during the years covered
by the alleged embe2zlements.
Bennett Returns to Home.
Released from the District Jail early
yesterday afternoon under a bond OF
$4,000, reduced from 100000, Bennett
returned to his home, at 1857 N street,
for the first time since he was lodged
Friday in cell at the first precinct
station, following his alleged confession
to bank officials.
Bennett had gone out this morning
to attend to personal matters, his sister,
Mrs. Wilson Miller explained. His
mother is suffering from the nervous
strain she has undergone since the ar
rest of her son, with whom she makes
apartment.
Shortly after returning home Bennett
is said to have visited some of his
friends, his sister explaining that
everybody was SO glad to see him back
again."
