are good pianos and there are cheap ones:
the only thing in buying is knowing how

in the case of U. Il. Jones, assistant post
master at Mittoaca, Charged with violas-
ing the postal laws, while bowling to the
Will of the supreme court, repeated his
expressed disapproval of the use c f decoy
letters. Jones is young man of high
social position, II nephew of the late dis
tinguished divine, Rev. ,Tiberius Gracious
Jones, and has an interesting family. The
trial of his case has been in progress three
days and has attracted much interest.

the.postofiice letters that should have been
forwarded, with embezzling these letters.
and with embezzling another letter He
was found not guilty in the first two and
in the third the jury disagreed and was
discharged. The accused stated that the
decoy letter and four others found in the
office which should have been forwarded
had been left out by mistake.
Judge Hughes declined Co instruct the
jury that Il decoy letter could not be the
subject of theft. ''The use of tiecoy let
tiers" said the judge, "for the.purpose of
discovering who the mail robbers are, is
ip itself probably necessary, and if objec
tionable, is at least tolerabe OH the
ground of the necessity, but to 90 fur

by the government into robbing the mail,
to prosecute him criminally for the act,
is more or less offensive to public senti-
ment. l think, however, the supreme
court has decided Inistakably. not only
that the use of decoy letters are ecessary
to the detection of certain oirepses, but
that criminal prosecution based OH decoys
