Emil Piecrko, the man who was arrested last week by Chief Ben Strong cf the I. II. B. railroad police, was taken into custody last night by Deputy U. S. Marshall Herman Sassc. He was to be arraigned this afternoon Ixfore U. S. Commissioner Charles Surprise in the federal court at Hammond. Flecko's arrest by federal author. ties followed an investigation of the affiur by Postal Inspector A. C Garrigus of Indianapolis. The man had written a letter to L. M. Smith, supt. of the Gibson yards, threatening dire consequences if he failed to "mike good the wrong you done." In order to be a violation of postal laws It is necessary that such a letter demand a thing of value. In this case the demand was vague and indirect. However when questioned, Pieczko said that he was trying to force Supt. Smith to pay some back wages which was due a friend. There was still some question as to whether the charge would tick so Garrfgus took tho letters and all information to headquarters at Indianapolis. There he higher authorities decided that Pieczko should be prosecuted . It is said to be one of the be-rt caaes In many respects to come before the postal authorities. Such letters are often sent through the mails, but generally the receiver loses the envelope before he finally places the madder in the hands of officials. The envelope is necessary In proving that the letter Kvas actually transmitted. Furthermore, it is difficult to prove the authorship of an annonymous missive but in this case Chief Strong found a similar letter on the porson of Pieczko. JAGGER GOES INTO Chas.
