Chicago, Dec. 24.—More than twen- ty black hand letters, threatening to blow up his heme, have been received by Judge K. M. Lzndi¢ of the U States district court in the last five years. This was made krown when the judge was hearing a case against John Follie, charged with writing three such letters. “I just sent the letters to scare him,” pleaded the prisoner. “That's all the black hand letter writer ever does,”. remarked . the judge. “In the last five years I have bad from' a dozen to twenty such cases as this and they all pleaded they never meant to carry out the threat and I know they never meant to. How I do'know? Because I have myself received more such letters than all that have come up in my court. “However, I give them all the maxi- mum sentence.” Folie pleaded guilty and was sen- tenced to five years in the peniten tiary.
