Post Office Inspector Doran Targets Mail Frauds
In Paris a crook sold obscene books by mail to Americans. Doran and 815 inspectors foiled the scam by blocking the bank transfer and pursuing other mail theft crimes. The Post Office Department, the nation's largest employer, fields 506000 workers and dozens of insiders jailed yearly for theft. The crook moved across the U S and Europe, with a thief earning about ten thousand dollars a year from stealing checks.
