Neither man had counsel In court, anil an adjournment of the hearing until next Wednesday wan asked by the gov ernment and granted. Hall wan fixed at $30,000, falling which both men were again locked up. NEW YORK, March Frederick C. I'lfiiuinghnm and Frank Chester, charged with blowing the postofEloe safe at Richmond, Ya.. some time be tween Saturday night and Monday morning and getting away with $85,009 worth of stamp* and $3000 in cash, were captured in tills city while trying to escape with trunks oontlnlng $30000 worth of the stamps taken from the southern poetoftlce. The police believe the capture to be one of the most Im portant in recent years, and that both of the men in jail have been involved in numerous postoffice robberies, net ting them over $200,000. "Cunningham" Is alleged by the police to be Eddy Fay, a much wanted fugi tive whoso picture is in every rogue* 1 gallery In the country and for whose apprehension a total of about $20,000 in rewards has been offered in various cities. According to the detective bureau. Fay Is wanted in Pasadena, Cal for blowing the safe of the post office there in 1907 and getting away With $13,000 worth of stamps, He is alleged to have obtained over $100,000 by two robberies at peoria, 111. The detectives say Fay is worth from $300,000 to $400,000 and owns a string of race horses. The police say they do not know much about the man caught with Fay. Both, after arraignment In the Tombs court, will he turned over to United States Commissioner Shields.

In one trunk was what detectives may is the most elaborate ana highly finished set of burglars' tools they Lave ever seen. Each tool was in a separate case of Russian leather. Even the rougher Jimmies were wrapped in tissue paper, and the drills ware of the hardest, modern "high-speed ' tool steel With them was a set of lock picks, some of which were eighteen Inches long, and sets of skeleton keys. Another set not so finished was seized last "night. More Interesting yet was a manu script showing that the compiler had in mind a wholesale raid on southern and western banks. Hundreds of banks were listed, and with them ap peared the names and addresses of the treasurers, cashiers, Janitors, their habits and their hours. There was a particularly long list about a bank at Nashville, Term. Fay is the man supposed to he wanted for the robbery of the post ofljee at Pasadena In May. HOT. whf-n $13 000 in stamps were taken from me safe there The robbery was evidently the work of experts, as no aaploalvea were used, and although ■ reward -f 11000 was offered for the apprenenalon of the crtminalK no one has ever claimed the money. The bondsmen of Postmaster Wood of tho Pasadena office have bei-n re lieved from 1"S8 by the pasago Of a Dill in congress not long ago. The Identification bureau of the Los Anceles police department has records of several postoffioe robberies which were committed by a man answering to the description of Fay.
