NUGE SWINDLING OPERATIONS PARTIAL EXPOSURES ~HOW A RALROAD CoM- PANY HAS BEEN ROBBED FOR YEARS -- ARREST OF THE 5UPPOSEE PRINCIPAL, From the Detroit 7'ribune, 21. By the werest accident in the world, last week one of ghe shrewdest and most successinlly executed robberies--or rather sortes of robberies -- was paitial'y nnearth- ed, and twe only has been requiad to oring the whole thing 10 a head. We have for keverai days been quite fully prepared to expose the winding scheme, bit at the particniar request of the railroad authorines, we Lave, 0p lo this time, sand nothing, mm order 10 give them a chance to arrest the leader of the gang, und get the whole, case properly into the coorts. The company that has been systematie- ally robbed the Michigan Central Rail- road, and it has been accomplished in this manner: According to order the condue- tors of all passenger trains on this road, upon their arrival at Detioit, deliver all tickets gathered by them to Mr. Thomas Frazer, we General Ticket Agent here, ro that they. | can be properly disposed of it. It has hap- pened very frequently that conductors have omited to punch or cancel many of those tickets, and they have been stolen from the office of the agent aud resold 10 travellers by private partics. This business, it now appears, has been carried on tor years, and su extensively tha thousands of dollars have been pocketed and the railroad company has lost just so much money. Several duys since a young man named Shaw, who has been in ihe employ of the railtoad company tor a num- ber of years, and who hus always ore good character, was artested and pleaded guilty. This clerk is, we really believe, houest at heart, but in an evil hour, any when sadly in need of pecuuniury aid, ac- cepted a tempting offer, and was thus made a tool of by a destzning man for a crimina purpose. He was the principle clerk in Mr. Frazer's office, and had the han hog of ali the tickets returned, as belore sated, by the eouductork. He 100k those uncan- celled whenever he choosed so 10 do, an =old them-to: Mr. Burustine, of this city, who, fiom all appearances, has been th prime mover in the whole atlair. An we stated 1n the outset, we have for several days carefuily suppressed all these facts, but to do eu longer would be eriminal. Last night Burnsiine was arrested, and he will bé™ examined at no distant day, a which time all the facts will be very fully developed. Precisely how long this robbery scheme has been going on, we, of course, know not bus circumstances point 10 yenrs gone by. and 1t is presumed that $10,000 or $20,000 may have been made aliogether, The ai- rangement has not been confined entirely to Detroit, but the ramifications of the plot extended over considerable apace and time, and the developements thus far made im- plic: te many persons, although it is possible many may be able to show to show a clear record. The unneancelled tick=ts have boen sold at the differentrmirond offices in the country, but the fact that they were duied 'would seem lo indicate that parties selliog them must have been cognizant of .the 'thefts, or they would have nothing to do with them These are speculations of our own, however and we hope will have noweight in any exarminalions or trials thal iby take 'place unless lolly borne out by "sworn tes- timony. © ate informed that Burnstine, who who gurchased the ticke!s ol; 8huw, did so in almost every instance at reduced rates, and then disposed of them at their foll valve. a" There are Bvt other developements yet to be made, which we are uot yet in a pusi- 2 , my elic of thine which my sorrows be- | he void in my heart, and devoid | of their life-giving blood, fiow- {a eae till nearly four ms 10 have been the euly person | ver. i318, IW E No. 561 rrr.

They will, in {our opinion, show much rasealiy, and re- | 3 [sult in brnewg wut a few noses to the enndstone, The way in which the robbery was first discoveredwas this: Shaw's sister-in-law stole two tickets from him, an! sold them at the Grand ticket oflie, and one was pur- Trunk | chased by a traveller. This ticket was | xen by an officer of the road, who recog | mized it as one that had 'been missed, and | upon making equities, traced the matter | lo Shaw. ee -------- | Tue Prister -- A Prater is the most co- rious berg hving.
