POSTOFFICE BUSINESS HAS STARTED IN HEAVY Additional Sacks to Number of 160 Sent and 125 Received—Express Wagon with Additional Carrier To- day. Up to their ears in Christmas pack- ages and mail matter the employes of the local postoffice are in the midst of the most strenuous period of the year and they will be glad when the next ten days are over. The Christmas trade has started in strong and Thurs- day was a busy day from start to fin- ish. There were 160 additional sacks of sail sent out from the local office, while there were 125 received and dis- tributed_for prompt delivery. These sacks all contained holiday goods of one kind or another from postcards to large packases. In many cases the sacks were label- e for the different states for which they were intended instead of forward- ing them to New York to be re-assort- ad. This new move and one which will relie the work in the big city greatly when other cities take it up. This morning an express wagon will be put on with an additional carrier for the purpose of distributing the pack- ages and if necessary two will be | vsed. This is = great rellef to the carriers and aids in the prompt de- livery. Postmaster Caruthers states that the money order and registry department has been very busy and there have been a great many registered pack- ages this year. lle states that as a general rile the packages are well wrapped this year, showing that his instructions were read with profit and the addresses for the most part are plain and well written. It is noticea- being used, practically everything bearing cne of the seals.

When the jury first retired all favored a verdict for the plaintiff, but it was some time before the amount wah decided upon. In the afternoon a jury selected for the trial of the case of Musial vs. Kud- tik, a suit for $1,500 damages because the plaintiff was deprived of the use of the farm which hs bought from the plaintiff from August until the follow- ing April, as the tenant refused to, get out. The defendant gave a warranty deed in conveying the property. It was necessary to use an inter- preter in securing the testimony, which made progress rather slow. The property is located in Salem near Gardner Lake and -was occupied by Sidney A. Dolbeare at the time of the sale, the family coming from Canada. Mr. Dolbeare had a lease of the farm until April, 1970. ‘The first witness was the plaintiff, Joseph Musial. During his testimony his wife became 80 anxious to prompt her husband that it was necessary for her to be spoken to. Mr. Musial tes- tified to bringing his goods to the farm and not being able to get shelter for them.

Attempts made on Thursday to iden- tify the woman found Wednesda) evenlng wandering around the New London railroad station all came to| naught. Several possible clues were followed up without result and the woman herself has done nothing fur- ther to help the authorities. At the almshouse, to which she was removed Thursday afternoon from the police station, the mysterious woman broke her silence momentarily by re- marking “This looks good to me," as she looked around after her arrival there, but since then she has said nothing- A New London woman who thought ihe stranger might be a Norwich rela- tive of hers went to the almshouse, but found the woman was unknown to her. Inquiry was made about a wom- an who has been missing from Win- sted, Conn., for a week. but it was found she could not be the woman at the New London almshouse.

She gives in- coherent answers to neariy all ques- If she is asked where she re- who her relatives are and what her name is, she usually answers by saying “T've worked hard all my life.” City Physician Cronin was called and attempted to secure something from the woman by which she might be identified. He mentioned the names of every place in this part of the state, Rhode Island and Massachusetts. but the mention of none of these had the gifect of suggesting her home town to er. The woman got on Worcester branch traln Wednesday afternoon at Fort Point, where the state hospital for the insane is located. She acted aueerly on the train and Conductor Vickerv telegraphed ahead for a police- man to meet the train. Patrolmen Sullivan and Casey were on hand, but the conductor declined their assistance and turned the woman over to Raifl- rcad Detective Vincent, who took her te police headquarters and asked that she be held.
