Twenty-Two Civilian Employees Aro
Charged By Government With Com
plicity In Big Robbery
New York.—Twenty-two civilian em
ployees at the Brooklyn Navy Base
wove arrested on indictments returned
several months ago by a federal grand
jury, charging that government proper
ty to the value of more than $1,000,000,
had been stolen since the war. Tho
arrests were made by agents of the
department of justice.
The grand jurors indicted twenty-
three men after its investigation of
the alleged wholesale thefts which the
authorities said included clothing, oil
and various other materials used at
the navy base. The twenty-third
man under indictment was not found
at the naval base. The investigation
has been under way for months.
Navy intelligence officers undertook
to find out the cause for the discrep
ancies between the inventories and the
stock supposed to be og hand, but
thieves were too cunning for the reg
ular naval detective force, the mem
bers of which were apparently well-
known to those who were doing the
stealing.
William J. Burns, chief of the bureau
of investigation of the department of
justice then was asked for’ help and or
dered Edward J. Brennan, head of
the bureau’s New York office to assign
operatives.
Brennan consulted Police Commis
sioner Enright and borrowed the serv
ices of Detective Francis Tralnor.
Under the direction of Federal
Agent Robert Walsh and Ralph Navar
ro and Lieutenant Trainor men were
put into the warehouses as checkers,
laborers, watchmen and book-keepers.
These detectives found themselves
watched narrowly until they took ad
vantage of opportunities obviously put
in their way of stealing small articles
such as wrist watches and marine
glasses. Not until’ they actually con
cealed these articles and pretended to
steal them were they able to get any
evidence against the men now in cus
tody.
They then learned that government
property was being stolen by the truck
load, including great boxes of cloth
ing, paint by the barrel,, crates of
glass and commercial alcohol by the
gallon. Instances were found in which
.waste salvaged materials bought by
contractors was substituted by new
goods or by other merchandise, than
that mentioned in the contracts; In
other cases twice the quantity of act
ual salvaged stuff contracted for was
delivered.
