How $90,000 was lost by the Cullman Post Office...

It was cotton picking time in Cullman County in October of 1946. Cotton was a cash crop and the banks in Cullman needed hard currency for the cotton farmers and for the cotton buyers. So, they ordered up some cash from the Federal Reserve Bank in Birmingham. The Leeth National Bank ordered $100,000.

Trouble was, only $10,000 showed up. The rest was lost in the mail.

Investigators were baffled. Eventually they traced the parcel to the Cullman Post office but there it disappeared. Only one man in Cullman knew exactly what happened to the missing money. That was because he was the one who took it. He was 32-year-old Simeon E. Gibson, Jr. and he worked at the post office.

Gibson was born in Hartselle in 1914.

The money shipment arrived at the Cullman post office late on the afternoon of October 7th and too late to deliver to the bank. Gibson immediately recognized what was contained in the package. The money was locked up in the post office vault overnight.

The next morning, Gibson arrived at work early, used his key to open the post office and took the package containing $90,000. He made his way to the nearby Cullman County High School grounds and headed for an auxiliary building. This old house was used for storage and a dressing room for visiting ball teams.

There, Gibson counted out $4,000 cash for himself and hid the rest of the money under the floor boards of the building. Then he reported back to the post office at his usual time.

Simeon Gibson, Jr. had a gambling problem. He was in debt and the parcel full of money was just too great a temptation. With the cash he kept for himself, he paid some of the debts amounting to $1,800.

Investigators were closing in. Employees at the post office were interrogated and for the first time in history in a case such as this, subjected to a lie detector test. Gibson steadfastly proclaimed his innocence, but he was getting anxious. He was nervous to the degree one night he burned the rest of the $2,200 he took from the larger stash.

Gibson realized it was only a matter of time before he was caught. He talked it over with his wife and decided to make a clean break of it and to make a confession. Gibson slowly walked to the post office while his wife called the authorities. He told postal inspectors it was he who stole the money.

Gibson was arrested and arraigned. He confessed and entered a plea of guilty. He was sentenced to five years in Federal prison and a $500 fine—the maximum term for the offense of stealing from the mail. In November, he was sent to the federal penitentiary in Terre Haute, Indiana.

After his release he got a job as a shipping clerk at the Alabama State Docks in Mobile and lived a long life until his death at the age of 93 in 2008. Cullman's postal thief was buried in the Mobile Memorial Gardens.
