Secret Service
Steuart Retires as Agent
After 32 years of colorful service as a Secret Service agent,
Robert A. Steuart, who helped crack the Dallas Red Fox forgery
ring that sent 26 to prison, announced his retirement Wednesday.
Steuart was assistant special agent in charge of the Dallas district
under Forrest V. Sorrels. During his years of service, he had two
special assignments to Puerto Rico, was body guard to
Mme Chiang-Kai-shek, and with Fort Worth police broke up a
large counterfeiting ring, seizing plates and about $40,000 in
spurious $20 notes.
But most notable was his work in 1958, together with that
of postal inspectors, in cracking the Red Fox gang, that stole,
forged and passed thousands of dollars in government checks.
The gang had rubber stamps made to raise the amounts on checks
stolen from Dallas mail boxes. Some of the mob would steal the
checks, others would forge them and still others would pass them.
During World War II, Steuart served with Army Intelligence in the
Eighth Service CommandHe tracked down an employee that had been writing threatening
letters to the commanding general and worked with balloons
launched in Japan that carried incendiary or anti-personnel
bombs, some of which landed in Texas. Steuart joined the Secret
Service in St. Louis in 1933. He worked in Cincinatti, Richmond,
Va., Memphis and Los Angeles prior to coming to the Dallas
office in 1957. Steuart said he had no immediate plans for the
future, but expects to make his home in Dallas.
