BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — An upstate New York museum volunteer is accused of stealing and trying to sell documents from the Buffalo History Museum.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Buffalo says Tuesday that 50-year-old Daniel Witek is charged with mail fraud.
According to court documents, Witek offered to sell documents from the history museum’s A. Conger Goodyear Papers Collection to a New York City manuscript dealer. The dealer then contacted the museum.
Conger was a Buffalo-born businessman and a founder of the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
A phone listing for Witek could not be located.
