. INSPECTOR HELD INMAIL ROBBERY William Fahy, “Ace” Among Postal Sleuths, Accused as Master Mind in Big Theft. ByAhe Astociated Pres CHICAGO, Augu: —Charged with being the master mind in the $2,000.000 mail robbery at Rondout, 111, 12, which he took a leading vestigating, William Fahy, post office inspector, was held in the Kane County 3ail at Geneva today in bonds of $50.- 000. He was arrested in his private office in the Federal Building late ) terday after warrants had been Issued on complaint of five Eastern inspectors. Fahy, who was regarded as an a among postal operatives, and who ob- tained the evidence which sent “Big Tim” Murphy and his alleged accom- plices to Federal prison for the Dear- born Street Station $338,000 robbery here three years ago, charged the ar- rest was due to a “frame-up” by crimi- nal enemies and professional rivals. He will be arraigned September 6. The specific charge against Fahy is conspiracy with Max Greenberg and Sam Grant, fugitives previously named as ringleaders in the robbery, to steal the 10 sacks of registered mail taken from the mail train after bandits had haited it and subdued mail clerks with tear bombs nad pistol shots. Believe Fahy Has Loot. According to inspectors working on the case, it is belleved Fah Dossession of a considerable the loot, aithough they admit they have thus far been unable to recover any of the amount. Fahy has been watched ever since & few days after the robbery, Chief Postal Inspector C. H. Clarahan of New York said. He stated that in- spectors have followed Fahy to pla where they say he met the men whom he is charged with conspir- ing. _Chief Clarahan and J. S. Lemen of Baltimore made the complaint which was said to be based on evi- dence uncovered by them and by In- spectors G. B. Miller of Washington, Thomas Milligan of Toledo, R. E. Nicoli, Syracuse; John W. Hartwell, Albany, and C. C. A. Battles of New York, all on duty here. Friend of Suspect. Fahy said he supposed the com- plaint was based on his communica- tion with James Murray, a Chicago politician, arrested in connection with the robbery and released on bond. Murray has always been a friend of his and has assisted him in his Gov- ernment work, Fahy said. The Rondout robbery was one of the most spectacular to occur in this vicinity in years. Eight men stopped a special train of the Chicago. Mil- waukee and St. Paul Railroad at Rondout, 24 miles north of Chicago. After subduing the clerks with tear bombs, the robbers, wearing gas masks, made selections of certain mail sacks and escape in two motor cars. Their manner of operation led spectors to believe they had advance information. Three Newton brothers, ex-convicts from Texas, are in jail in connection || with the robbery. One bandit was shot by the leader, who was thought to have mistaken him for a mail clerk. JOHN ERNST SUCCUMBS. Painter and Decorator Dies of Heart Disease.
