VIOLATION OF MALLS Postmaster Delancy Finds Packages To Contain Written Matter Against U. S. Post Office Laws. Postmaster William F. Delaney has found it necessary to again call to the attention of the public the fact that no letters or written material of any description can be mailed inside a package at the usual zone rate. There is an iron-clad law to the effect that any packages, containing written mat- ter, must be mailed first-class or at the rate of 32 cents a pound, accord- ing to the distance, and not at the zone charges. He has two packages at the office now which were found to contain letters and are being kept for more money due. A strict watch is being kept on all packages mailed and at any signs of written letters inside, the package is opened and additional charges of first class mail are added to be collected at the destination. Suspicious looking packages such as may contain explo- ‘sives or intoxicants, are looked for and through this method of examina- tion, hundreds of bundles have been found to contzin letters and mailed at zcne rates instead of first class. The post office reserves the right to open any packages for investigation. BISHOP MAY COME HERE. A visit to New Britaln by Rev.

LOUD’S FATE NOW RESTS WITH JURY Melrose Man, Accused of Mur- dering Policeman, to Know Fate Cambridge, Mass, Jan. 20.-—The case of Clarence L, Loud of Melrose, charged with the murder of Police- man James A, Preston of Wakefield, last April went to the jury room just before noon today. Judge John 1% Brown of superior court took an hour in charging the jurors, Loud walved his right to ad- dress them, “On the dvening of April 9, be- ween 9 and 9:30 o'clock,” *Judge Brown said, "a policeman was shot in Wakefield. “The commonwealth has claimed that certain circumstances were the facts, The defendant claims the cir- cumstances are equally explainable on other grounds. The defendant does not claim the shooting was done in self-defense, Ile says he was not there and doesn't know anything about it."” The issues before the jury, the judge said, were whether Preston “was murdered by anybody, and if so is the defendant the murderer."” Loud was charged with Preston's murder after the finding in the offi- cer's cap of Loud's automebile license and in Preston's notebook a memor- andum bearing the defendant's name and that of a woman, with the nota- tion “adultery.” In the trial Loud testified that on the night of the mur- der he was assaulted and robbed while making a trip alone in his auto- mobile. Judge Brown told the jurors that they were not to consider the crime noted in Preston's memorandum. He characterized as unfortunate the fact that all testimony of George B. Hefler, formerly of Halifax, N. 8., a defense witness had to be stricken from the record and instructed the jury not to consider it. Hefler testi- fied to having seen four men and an automobile near the spot where the patrolman's body was found. SUIT CASE FULL OF MONEY Mrs. John L.

Mills made the presentation speech, in which she told of the many duties and activities Mrs. Davis has taken upon herself in the church, and of the re- spect and esteem in which she was held by the other women. 189 ARE GIVEN JOBS Snow Storm And New Sewer Work Make Possible Increase In Payrolls Of City Departments.
