He prepared the usual letter of transmittal to be sent by separate mail, the letter giving a list of the numbers of the bills forwarded In the currency package. But the postmaster altered the end llgures of some of these bill numbers. His idea In doing this was a shrewd one, in one sense.

That same night, while there was a party going on at the postmasters home, he slipped down to his office, cut a hole in the bottom of the fastened pouch to give an air of verisimilitude to the job, as it were, abstracted the package of currency, put the money in his pocket, and then returned to the party. The pouch started on its way to Washington without the hole in the bottom being noticed for some time. When the money failed to reach Washington along with the letter of transmittal, I was the one chosen to go out and investigate the case.
