The large pouch of registered mail mat-ler, containing five smaller pouncheav aent to Station from a number of pther branch Post Offices for transmission to the General Post Office, has not been found, although Chief Post Office Inspector King and two of his ablest men.

At the rear ef -the there Is i raised platform about three feet high, wfcare the mail wagons take on or discharge their loads. The sta Lion is a busy one, from the fact that mal Intended for the Grand Central road la hi ndled there, and from the further fact that so far as registered mall Is con-cerned, It Is a clearing house for- that class of matter sent from a number of other stations opt wn. From Station" the regis? tered ma 1 goes to the General Post ON flee. The pUtform of Station is 'frequently r. lied high with mail bags waiting to be foi warded to other branches." and from whi Inspector King has been able to learn, here, were two bags of registered mall, locked and ready 'to be syit dowii town lyin out on the platform on Monday night wit tout having much more care be-stowed upon them than is bestowed on the ordinary mail.

When tie clerks In the sub-stations for-ward to Station their registered matter they inciese it In a small canvas bag. which lories automatically. The only key for this islln the General Post Office. There were five of these they were In turn inciiiad In a large. canvas also with an 4utomatio lock.

That these five small bag arrived all right Is proven from the fact that they are receipted for by the clerks in fetation H. It is also established that a clerk inclosed the five small bags In a larger one. and that the Utter was placed out on the platform to wait for the wagon which leaves there, at 8:40 o'clock In the evening.

A thorough search failed to bring the missing bag to light, and the next day the robbery was. reported to the Inspectors! what the value of the pouch was. Inspector ttig said yesterday, he had no way of determining. In fact, be said, we have not vet received all the details.

As soon as we find out whether the receipts of -the fiVe sub-stations had been sent down to and what the amounts were, we can Approximate 'the loss, but aa far as the private mall matter is concerned, that, will bo but a guess It la pbsslble that all the care necessary to Injure the safe carriage of Valuable mall matter was net taken In this instance, yet the clerks were- following the procedure of years in placing the pouches on the Elatform ready to be sent away. From long ablt -it possibly never occurred them that any (one would have the hardihood to deliberately walk oft with a sack of mail, and totlir less that a thief would be able to choose the registered pouch; Tet from my investigations it is plain that snouia a i who looked ilka a Post Office employe seen with a bar-of mall on his shoulder In that vicinity no oomroenC would be can mere -always -swot ot cabs in the vicinity, and while wagons ant I do not even intimate that this was yet it would be easy to dump the bag into a cab or wagon without any one being any the wiser.
