Stamp Dealer Held in $200 Bond on Mail Frauds Charge
Thomas A. Leavitt, 20s, and his younger brother faced $200 bail after a police examiner ordered continued questioning. Accused of using the mails for wrongful purposes through the Squantum Stamp Company at 447 Broadway South Boston and later at Burroughs Place, the pair allegedly sent letters to stamp dealers to solicit debts without sending payment. The case also links Parker alias to the stamp operation, with letters claiming Parker was a good and responsible arsonist. This is the second arrest in as many days of youths charged with mail fraud tied to stamp dealing.
