DRUMMoHD ESCAPES INDICTMENT
over Oficious Secret Service NAN
Causes Much Trouble.

1t is rumored on good authority that the
United States Grand Jury has thrown out
case against Letter Carrier Richard
Drummond, of No. 593 Newark avenue,
who was accused of retaining a marked
letter which had been placed in a letter
box at the Pavonia ferry by Secret Ser
vice Detective Lewis of Washington.
Drummond was collecting on this route
and when he returned to the postoffice
an examination of the letters which he
emptied from his mail pouch failed to
disclose the decoy letter which he had
collected. A close search Of the appar-
entity empty pouch showed the missing
missive in a secret pocket on the side OF
the interior of the bag, into which it had
accidentally fallen. Drummond was ar
rested and confined in the County Jail for
a couple of days, unable to obtain bail on
account of the seriousness of the charge.
Yesterday he was receiving the con-
ORGANIZATIONS of his many friends, who had
heard the rumor of the disposition made
of the case, and who at no time had be-
lieved him guilty of the offence charged.
