An unexpected development was made yestcr-
day in the case Of Peter Griggs. on trial In the
United States district court for robbng the mailbag
in Marion county and badly wounding tho carrier
The case will consume the greater part of today
The evidence yesterday was especially interesting
from an experiment in open cour, upon the locks
mail-bags by striking them with pine knot. Tho
theory, one of the theories, OF the district aor
ney was that tho bag was opened by pine knot
found near the place where the bag was discovered
The locks are peculiar working either way. on a
centre spring. Postmaster Bosenlon testified that
II was next 10 impossible. In his opinion,
to open the lock in that way. Amer
other testimony upon this point, Mr.. K. e.
Mansfield chief clerk Of the railway service, was
put on the stand, and testified that tho locks wero
easily opened in that way. The experiment was
tested before the jury, and fully succeeded with
out any injury to the lock, the knot being the
same alleged to have been used by the defendant
In perpctrating the robbery. The evidence against
Griggs is entirely circumstantial, but the case for
the government is very strong.
The pine-knot discovery should put the govern
mont OIL its guard. The lock III present use has
always been regarded as 4 certain protection
