LEWISTON, July 10.-On July 2, man

EFT, claiming residence in Manchester, N.
H., was caught opening letter box on Pine
and Shawmut streets and was arrested. He
had but one letter in his possession and
claimed that this was in his room when he
took possession. Hehas been canvassing
the city for books. 1t is supposed he is the
same man who stole the lock, thus securing
the key that would fit. Several persons saw
the man while taking off the lock, but he
was so cool they thought he was repairing
the box.
Twenty-four letters taken by Sackett have
been found. He has been completely inden-
tilted by persons who saw him open the box.
His plan was to wet the letters till they
could be opened, abstract valuables and re-
place them in the box The letters had been
resealed and were pressing between the
leaves OF book. The mail key was hanging
on his watch chain.
Among the letters found in Sackett's pos
ter, IL Paris street, Portland. and one to A.

here for breaking and entering grocery
store. He and his companion were released
on account of their youth and the respecta-
bility of their families.
