Postoffice inspectors said they contained con-tained a large amount in checks, possibly as much as $100,000, but they were unable un-able to give exact figures except as to Liberty bonds. The pouches contained $3600 in these. The inspectors learned that a man had cashed a check for $11, taken from one of the pouches, at a restaurant. His description, de-scription, they said, fitted Alfred Young, an employee of the company which had the contract for hauling the mail. They learned that he had departed for California Cali-fornia and asked inspectors at San Francisco Fran-cisco to watch him. |
