Monon Detective Traces Thefts To Former Employe of the Road.

Lafayette Courier. For many months the officials of the Monon have been greatly annoyed by thieving that has been going on along their line, articles of great value being lost in shipment, until finally John A. Hayes, special agent for the railroad, was put on the case with the result that the stealing was traced to Crawfordsville and a former employe of the road is in a serious position as a result. Before Detective Hayes was put on the case the management for several months made an effort to trace the goods from the main office. Articles such as shoes, in cases, flour in large quantities, a willow chair, stand tables and numerous other orticles were lost in shipment. After Mr. Hayes had worked on the case a short time he found that the'goods had reached Crawfordsville. He also secured quite a little of the stolen property, which will be returned to the owners and in the meantime is keeping up the seach to discover if possible who has the rest of the stolen property. Mr. Hayes found after much work that a number of the things stolen were delivered to the home of a former employe of the Monon, who is now residing in Fort Wayne. Satisfying himself that ho had the right man he visited his home in Fort Wayne and secured from him a signed statement that he had taken the goods or at least a part of them, and it stated he gave information that may lead to implicating others in Crawfordsville in the deal.
