Show ST. THOMAS POSTMASTER PLACED UNDER ARREST Harry Gentry, postmaster a St. Thomas for several years, was arrested arrest-ed the first of the week by a deputy United States marshal on a bench warrant from the federal court charging irregularities in the operation oper-ation of his office. Gentry was taken to Carson City for arraignment. It is understood the charge against Gentry involves the "padding" of the mail cancellations cancella-tions in the office, upon which the salaries of fourth class postmasters are based, and allowing firearms and other matter to go through the mails in violation of post office regula- tions. j |
