The postofllco inspectors today arrested Thomas K McCracken , a $900 clerk In the ilcad letter ofllcelio is accredited to Ne braska , for robbing the mails McCiackcn is an ex-union\cteian who has fern number of jears been employed in tlu dead letter ofllce. Ho has been Icmllng money at usuri ous to his fellow clerks for some time past. An ho has beui draw ing such a small salary , the possession of sufficient money to loan has excited comment , and the mat ter was In\estigitcd. Tno chief of division arrhea nt the conclusion that McCracken was stealing money from the dead letter mail. Ho was emplojed with other clciks whoso duty it is to open the dead letter envelopes Inagie.it many instances - stances this dead letter mail Is found to con tain currency. Though many safeguauls are thrown about these clerks , every now and then a clerk Is caught stealing. 'Hie rase was placed In the hands of Inspcctois nnd the old dodge of "marked currency was plajert. The inspectors felt ccitain that they had the right man and today Mc Cracken was arrested and so\cial marked bills weio found upon him. IIuiI n Onoil Cliiinco. McCracken has been emplojed in the dead letter olllco for three jears as an "opener , " In which capacity he had lull op portunity for crooked work. His age , his record as \otcr.in of the war and his high standing in Nelnaska , whence ho had come with the endorsement and friendship of sen ators and other oftlcers , shielded him from suspicion. McCracken was taken bcfoie United States Commissioner S. C. Mills for a healing. Ho waived the preliminary ex amination , and the case was continued. Hall was llxod at * 1,000 and McCraekcu was held ut the Camp house timing the after noon while his friends ende.uored to lind the necessary real rstato securities. They were unsuccessful in the attempt One of the doputj marshals took McCr.icKcn to see his wife before he was sent to jail She is an old ladv about her husband's ago. After this -visit McCracken was driven o\cr to the Jail. McCracken served durincc the war in the FortHlrst infantry and Second cavalry of Indiana and was discharged as a disabled \eteran. Ho was appointed to a clerkship of class 1 at il..HjO in the 1'oatolllco department May 18. 18bl.
