MINCED BILLS
DISCARDED
BY THUGS
Money Found Stacked Beside
Store Door; Shotgun Shells
Near Scene Provide Clue

The hard luck" bandits who
slugged a postal employe and
escaped with $875,000 in bills only
to find the money cut and can
celled, refused to take a chance
by keeping it in their possession
on Friday the thirteenth.
When E. T. Smith, 615 Emer-
son ST.. N. W., and John Snoddy,
2O6 Thirteenth st. N. E., went
to the R. L. Taylor Motor Com
pany, Fourteenth and T Streets
Northwest, where they are en-
ployed, they found pile of pack
ages stacked high at the door.
Police Get Loot"
Upon examining the packages
the two men discovered they con-
tanned the missing money stolen
from Union Station early yester-
day morning by two bandits.
They turned the packages over
to police. The money had been
cut in half, the other halves Of
the bills remaining in New York,
but the lower halves were shipped
to washington 10 be destroyed by
Government officials.
There were IL packages of the
bills, ranging in value from 81 to
$10O. Police are attempting to
find finger-printS on the packages.
Shells Are Found
Detective Steve BrOdy last night
located three boxes of shotgun
shells across the street from where
the money was found and it is be-
lieved they were left there by the
bandits.
The shells are the type used in
sawed off shotguns and were
loaded with large lead slugs in
stead of shot. T his fin d
strengthens the belief of police
that the robbery was staged by
New York racketeers who heard
the money was being sent here
and drove down, staged the
hold-up and are now en- route to
New York.
Police will turn the money over
to postal authorities who will re-
direct it to the Treasury Depart
ment and it will go through the
proper delivery channels as des-
tined prior to the robbery.
