ROBBERY CASE INQUIRY
FAILS TO DEVELOP CLUE
As far as the public is aware, in
Fairbanks and in enana. there have
been no developments in the A. E.
C. mail robbery case. The sum of
$9,900. consigned to the Alaskan
Eng.nctring Commission, at Healy,
by the First National Sank, at Fair
banks, wh'.ch disappeared between
the time the money was received at
the Fairbanks postoffie and its ar
rival at the Xenana postoffie, is
still missing, and, as far as The
j News has been able to ascertain,
there is no clue to the identity of
the person who abstracted the
money from the package in which
it was mailed..
Nothing is known publicly in the
upper town regarding the progress
of the case. In fact, it was not gen
i erally know in Fairbanks that a rob
j bery had been committed, until the
: arrival of The Xenana News late
i yesterday afternoon. The Fairbanks
paper will print its first story of
the robbery today.
The investigation, it is under
stood. is being directed by Postal
Inspector E. G. Wetzier, who was
jin Fairbanks at the time the rob
bery occurred. And it is also under
stood that he is being assisted by
the United States marshal's office.
Xo information is being given out,
however and it is probable that very
. little will be known until the guilty
t party has been apprehended. It is
i certain, however, that the case will
not be dropped in a hurry, for it
! is an offense against the Govern
■ ment, which makes a business of
i clearing up mysteries of that char
i acter.
As nearly as can be figured by
The News, the package which con
tained the money was handled by
about fifteen persons between the
time it left the bank and the time
of its arrival at the Xenana post
office. The money probably was de
livered at the Fairbanks postoffice
late Thursday afternoon and placed
in the postoffice safe over night,
and in the mail sack shortly before
the departure of the Friday train
for Xenana. From the postoffice it
went to the station agent at the de
pot and eventually into the box car
with the rest of the mail for Xenana.
Upon arrival at North Xenana, the
mail was transferred to the ferry
and, upon arrival here, was hauled
from the ferry to the local post
office.
It is understood teat the theft
jwas discovered in Nenana, instead
Iof at Healy, as was stated in Sat
urday's News. It is also understood
j teat the money sack was cut, the
money extracted and a magazine
substituted, after which the sack
was hastily pinned together with a
nail. This is only rumor, however,
‘ The News having been unable to
| get any definite information beyond
j the fact that the money was stolen.
There is all kinds of speculation
as to when and how the robbery
was committed. In Fairbanks there
are those who insist that tee pack
| age was intact when it was placed
aboard the train at the Garden 1s
] land depot, while in Nenana the gen
eral belief is that the theft occurred
j before the train reached North Ne
| rtana. It is even suggested that a
; professional from the States, under
1
: cover in Fairbanks, turned the trick
while the package was in the Fair
; banks postoffice. It is also suggested
j that the car was entered while the
i train was at a standstill on the way
. down on Friday. This might have
been done, as it is not the custom
to lock tee doors of the car in
which mail is shipped.
Who will have to stand the loss
can not be decided until it has been
j determined when the money disap
peared. If it was stolen while on
the train, the Commission will have
to stand the loss, it is understood.

incorporation ommittee, went to
