According to rumors which became
pant in llanbury. it was alleged
that three letters" were sent from the
, .
.n. -.—,a A
.departments for the erflorcement of
$mbibitioh‘. virtually “squealing" up-
on the activities of Day. One of
these letters was said to have been
sent to Commissioner Kramer in
Washington another 'to New England
{Director Mct‘ arthy in Boston. and the
third to New Haun to State Enforce-
;nent Ag( nt McAulifEe.
While .the- proceedings in the sever-
Investigations that were Yield were
ver made publicfit was known last
Vanuary that Bruce Taylor, an inves-
‘ “gator from ‘Kracmer's other in
l Washington came to Danbury. and
McAulil‘fc and several of his agents
‘ were in Danbury upon scvcral occas-
. ions investigating the reports. A
careful check was made of tlie stock
in the post office basement.
Assistant Postmaster Day, accord-
ing to a l)a.1bury e-xpressman who
.38 'a contract with the post oflice. for
”hauling mail took several paper car-
flans to his home on Balmforth ave-
‘Iuc from the post office find it was
lhrough this means that the trans-
fers were alleged to have been made.
The orders removing Assistant
Postmaster Day from office came as a
direct result of the investigation con-
ducted by the post office department
inspectors. The charges preferred
' baninst him were that he unlawfully
“look from the'pofit office in Danbury
‘Iéquors that had been stored in.the
‘ twidlng and which were the property
of the l'nlte-d States government. ‘
Day Arrested.
The wrest of Day several months
ago on the charges and his subse-
guent suspension from his duties
created much comment at the time as '
in was one oi? the oldest- and best
Inown employee: of the post office.
He was later acquitted of the charges
lay a l'nlted States commissioner in
flow How 11 but within a few days
was brought before a federal grand
:yary in llarttord. \Vhat action was
taken by the grand jury was never
made public. The entire investiga-
lion m.ulc by the Connecticut. Boston
and \Vashington otlicials was cioalét‘d
' in a shroud oi" mystery and no state-
mu-nts were ever made public in the
,7 ‘33-". '
Day in the meantime returned to
its duties and it was the opinion of
mtny hanhnrr, citizg'ns. that no‘ihlng‘
Kurthvr would _c\’er be heard regard-
ing the mattcr. The orders issued by
the first assistant postmasterIgeneral.
Removing him from office. came as a
distinct surprise. Day entered the
