did not even know Miss DAN
gle, Mr.. Roemer then asked her
where she lived, and she said ION Chap
line street." Mr.. Roemer made q
memorandum of these answers in Miss
bangles presence. and then gave her
the package. Miss bangle left the
Office with the big package and turned
east, when she was stopped by Mr..
! Shelhase, who invited her to go
to the custom house. She said: 81
don't understand what you mean,"
when Mr.. Shellhase repeated the re-
ouost, saying she had better come
quietly, but if she did not there would
be scene, as he would have to arrest
her. Miss bangle then accompanied
Mr.. Shellhase to the postoffice. While
she was detained there Mr.. Shellhase
and others went to her rooms on Market
street and made a search of her trunk
and Of the apartment generally. A
large amount OF dry goods, trimmings,
ETC., much Of it in large pieces, as
though it was still in the condition In
which it had been received from the
stores, was found, but as the govern
ment warrant did not permit OF any
interference with this, it was left where
found.
In the afternoon the prisoner was ar
raigned before Commissioner B. j. Camp
bell on a charge OF violating the postal
law, and Mr.. Roemer, Mr.. Shellhase,
Mr.. Jones and others were summoned
as witnesses. The defense was repre-
sented by Mr.. Flick. Messrs. Roemer
and Shellhase testified at length TO the
general effect Of the story here publish
ed, and then Mr.. Jones followed. de
said the letter signed with his wlfe's
name was not written by her. he had
seen the handwriting of the defendant
upon letters and it was his impression
that the letter addressed to Mrs. Swa-
hacker was not written by de-
PENDANT. The defend ant had sewed
fol- his family and he also knew
OF her sewing for others. He
had no personal knowledge OF her repu-
tation for honesty, ETC., but had never
heard it questioned. As it was late In
the day when the proceedings reached
this stage, further examination was de-
ferred until Tuesday morning, ana the
defendant was released on bail.
During the examination two other let
tiers were produced by the government,
one addressed TO George E. Stifel,
Main street store. CITY," which had been
received on the 2Sth of November, and
another addressed to Mr.. Schwertfeger,
ON November 10th. This latter was
without an envelope. The party who
wrote the letter to Mrs Swabacker I'M
admittedly wrote that to g. Z. Stifel,
but the third letter appears, from
somewhat hurried examination, to be In
a different hand, and is on different
pauer. and written with different ink.
Miss bangle wrote her name on slip
of paper, at the request OF the officials,
and this writing and that In the note to
Mr.. Rentsch was different from that
in the three letters.
Just as the hearing closed Commits
sioner Campbell picked up the sam 1les
OF trimming, ETC., which had been en-
closed in the letter to Mrs. Swabaker
and placed them in the envelope with
the letter. Miss bangle reached over
for the letters while the Commissioner
was talking with others and removing
the letters fell to examining them and
making comparisons between them.
When she went out the samples Of
trimming were nowhere to be found.
The Commissioner made 3 search for
them but could not find them In the
room and then pursued Miss Danglo,
but could not find her. either.
Miss bangle came TO this city from
Monroe county. O., her father owning q
lsne farm about FIVE miles from Han
n lal. Mr.. bangle is most highly es-
ned among al who know him. and
II have been many expressions Of re-
that his daughter should have
