O. Funds in Waste Basket Admitting that he stole funds of the Mesquite postoffice which he found concealed in a wastebasket, William Hamilton, forty-two years old, of Salt Lake City, was sentenced to two years in a federal penitentiary today by Federal Judge Frank H. Norcross. Hamilton also pleaded guilty to the theft of two cars which he drove from one state to another and was sentenced to one year and a day on each count, the latter two sentences to run concurrently with the sentence for the postal burglary. He was arrested in eastern Nevada In September, shortly after the Incident.

When asked by Judge Norcross if he had any intentions of becoming a law-abiding citizen, Hamilton, who has a previous criminal record, replied: "It doesn't look that way." An observing school boy at Mesquite was responsible for Hamilton's arrest on the postal charge. The lad noticing the car parked in on the outskirts of Mesquite became suspicious and made a record of the license number, supplying this information to the postmaster following the burglary. In a confession made to the United States attorney, Hamilton said he gained entrance to the postoffice In a grocery store at Mesquite through a rear window and after finding only $2.10 in the register fell over a wastebasket while searching for tobacco. Two tin cans in the bottom of the basket contained the postal funds, amounting to about fifty dollars, he said. Steele Recovering From Operation C.
