Hypnotized by Superior Blames Chief for St Louis Shortage
Assistant Cashier Broadhead of the St Louis customs office told House committees on expenditures that a mysterious hypnotic power from cashier A F Shriner caused him to pay more than 38000 in one year. Broadhead testified Shriner controlled him by force, though Shriner’s 1908 Republican county committee role was not the cause. Broadhead repaid the shortage out of his own pocket after Shriner’s one year prison sentence for embezzlement.

The government would pay fractions of a cent per thousand rather than two cents, ending the United States Express Company’s long held contract. Senator Tom Platt had led that company as president.
