Van Buren Press Van Buren, Arkansas- Crawford County March 29, 1890 CHARGE OF EMBEZZLEMENT Fort Smith Times, Thursday: Yesterday U.S. Deputy Marshal R. B. Creekmore arrived in the city from Fayetteville whither he had gone the evening before, having in charge Samuel Hunt, son of Postmaster Hunt of Fayetteville, and Hugh Jackson, a prominent young man of the same city, charged with having robbed the mail. Both young men are employed as clerks in the post office in the place named and are accused of having steamed registered letters and after having removed the money or other valuables contained therein resealing them and forwarding them to their destination. It is claimed that they have been engaged in the business for some time and that detectives have been at work on the case for several weeks. The warrant for their arrest was sworn out Tuesday evening at six o'clock and placed in the hands of Mr. Creekmore who left on the north-bound train the same evening. The young men are said to bear a good name in their native town, and their friends are heartily convinced of securing an honorable acquittal. Young Hunt was recently arrested for rape, but the case was somehow hushed up. Fran Alverson Warren
