The Judge has denied any. connection With
the F. A. Remick business He claims that tho
letters were collected By boy and delivered 70
young man for F. a. Remick, to whom no
was to send them. It was further claimed oy
the Judge that this young man vas once III nls
employ, but had left it to go into other ousi-
ness.
These facts, however, should be borno
in mind. The detectives were told only the
number Of the box in the Post-Oilice, and IN
str1,cted to trace out who got the letters att
