THE CASE IN wAsHINGroN.

ALAAA O4A-lAA AAN NNAA@AAA@NN'AO 49,
Washington, Oct. $3.50 tar the post
office authorities have received no in
timation of the determination OF Chief
OF Police Lees, OF San Francisco, and
Detective AIcVey, representing the
State of Delaware, to appeal 10 the
postal authorities to take action in the
matter OF the extradrion OF Mrs. Cor
della Botkin.
1t appears that these officers have a
scant knowledge Of the powers OF the
post office department in such matters
The sending of poison through the mail
is simply a misdemeanor, and a consul
tation with the attorney at the post
office department fails to reveal a
single instance where punishment was
meted out to those guilty OF this Of
fense.
It is believed by authorities that II
the hope of convicting Mrs. Bctkin is
to depend upon the action Of the post
office department there is little likeli-
hood OF her punishment.

to the actual status of the whole

Marshall County independent. (Plymouth, Marshall County, Ind.) 1897-1902, 1898-12-16

An advertising authority once de-
clared that the way to reach man.
kind was through the fair sex. 1t
is an open question whether men do
not on the W hole, read as many adj
vertisements as do women; but it is
probably true that women read most
of the holiday cards. 1t is certainly
true that they do most of the holi-
day buying and that they buy arti-
cles of masculine wear or use at
this season, if not at any other. 1t
is wise advertising that takes ac-
count of these facts and improves
the opportunity to get on business
terms with the fair sex. They all
read the Independent.
