Garrison to Investigate Possible Theft of Parcels, Dec. 29, 1925

Investigate Finding of Parcels Post Sack. . . Effort Will Be Made to Learn If It Had Been Stolen

Asheville, Dec. 20 (AP)—Further investigation of the possibility that the parcel post mail sack found in the furnace room of the Farmers Federation Building destroyed by fire on Sunday morning was stolen and taken in the building by thieves to be rifled, will await the arrival here of W.P. Garrison, post office inspector.

Mr. Garrison went to his home at Glen Alpine to spend Christmas with his family and is expected to return within the next few days. He is in charge of the postal investigations for Western North Carolina. If the sack were stolen, he will direct the investigation when ordered to do so by the Department at Washington, according to Dan W. Hill, postmaster.
