coBURN CONVICTED.
Found Guilty of Having Violated the
Postal Laws.

Frederick S. Coburn was yesterday con-
victed in Criminal Court No. 2, Justice
Bradley presiding. of violating the United
States postal laws by uttering false postal
money orders. The crime of which he
was convicted was committed over year
ago, while he was In the employment of
the Postoffice Department as manager of
substation No. q, which was located at
the southwest corner of New York Ave
nue. and Ninth street northwest. AS soon
as Coburn 1eartied that hewas suspected
by the Postoffice authorities he fed to
Canada where he was located by Post
office Inspector Morris, of New York. ar
rested, and brought back to Washington
to be tried for the crime.
The trial began last Thursday, and con-
tinued until yesterday afternoon. when,
given to the jury. 1t returned a verdict
of guilty, and, at the same time. recon-
mending the defendant to the mercy Of
the court. 5
While great deal of interest was man
ifested In the trial account of the
standing of theSaccused. there was moth
ing sensational about it, and, with the ex-
ception of the testimony of Inspector
Morris. the evidence was purely docu-
mentary. 3
BY the evidence introduced in behalf of
the Government it was proven that Co
burn had invented a system of bookkeep-
ing to keep ahead of the Postoffice De-
partment, and had it not been for his
eagerness to get too far ahead in short
while. he might still be considerably in
the lead.
Briefly. his plan was to issue postal
| money orders numbered two or three hun
dred In advance of the regular sequence
| number of the office book, and when this
was reached in the regular course OF
| business, he would draw another to pay
it with. 1t was the frequency with which
I these "out-of-order' certificates turned up
| in the sixth auditors office which aroused
! suspicion, and finally resulted in bringing
| Coburn to grief.
| The indictment under which CoburIl
was tried charged him with the issuing
of three postal money orders during the
month of July, 1897, for 500 each. The
evidence as to the issue of the particular
certificates specified was conclusive.
Several witnesses We're called to testify
for the defense, but the defendant, Co
burn, did not take the stand in his owr
defense. The penalty for the crime OF
which Coburn was convicted is fine OF
$500 or imprisonment in the penitentiary
for a term ranging from one to three
| years.
When the verdict of the jury was ren.
| dered Coburn was taken in charge by
Deputy Marshal E. L. Turner who, ir
| turn. released him to DeDutN lanes
Springman, who accompanied him to the
! United States JAN for the District, where
he will remain, suntil sentenced or re-
leased on bail in the event of new tria
being granted him.
The Government was represented b,
Assistant District Attorneys Joseph Shil
ington and John E. Laskey.

THE COMING ELECTION.
An Interesting Sketch of Har-
riSon w. MaineS.

Harrison w. Names, the Republican
candidate for sheriff, is now 46 years of
age. was born in the state of Maine
and came to Port Huron when 10 years
of age and has lived here ever since.
He is an honest, sober and Industrious
man. He is quiet and minds his own
business, but at the same time is soci-
able, genial companion. He is marine
engineer by trade and has followed
that business for great many years,
making Port Huron his home, where
he is known by everybody as Haas
Names" He was prominent candi-
date for the office of sheriff four years
ago and this year succeeded in getting
the nomination. He was chief of police
of the city of Port Huron from 1883 to
1885, and made the best officer that
ever held that office. He is a man of
broad views and with more than an
ordinary amount of common sense.
He never would prosecute anyone to
please some one else or to give himself
notoriety; the high, the low, the rich,
the poor were all treated alike. When
they violated the law they were prose-
cuted; when they behaved themselves
they were secure from annoyance by
enemies or Intermediates. The thugs
and thieves that frequent all large cities
situated like Port Huron all knew Haas
Maines, and while he was chief of
police gave the city wide berth. He
was absolutely fearless in the perform
ance of his duty. He has been under
sheriff and court officer in the circuit
court for the greater part of the past
two years and has been the best officer
that ever held that position. He is al
ways gentleman, courteous and oblig-
ing. The Jurors that have attended
court since he has been court officer
have nothing but kind words for Haas
Maines. Unless public opinion is at
fault he will be the next sheriff and the
county will have the best sheriff it has
ever had. A good sheriff means much
to thecounty; enormous bills of expense
can be piled up by a sheriff, who, so to
speak, works up and encourages busl-
ness for his office. With Maines in
that office the tax payers of the county
will not be asked TO pay any expenses
that are not absolutely necessary.
There will be no useless, frivolous or
vindictiye prosecutions; the Office will
be conducted on business principles
and equal justice meted out to all alike.
He will always be found to be gentle
man, fearless in the performance of
his duty, maintaining the dignity of
his office and upholding the law of the
state. He will no doubt receive vote
that will be credit to himself and
show the good sense of the voters of
the county.

DEAR SIR:-The Atkinson Bill will

been petitioned for by nearly one hun
dred thousand voters in the State of
Michigan, besides being endorsed by
Conventions, Farmers Clubs and La
Dor Organizations, which swells its en-
dorsement TO two or three thousand
more, it is quite important that the
people elect Representatives and Sem
ators who are in sympathy with them
on this measure.
Senator NJ. ID. Wagner, of Sand
Beach, supported the bill when it was
up at the last session, and the people
of your district need have no fear as
to his support of the measure at the
coming Session.

within your power to secure his re-elec-
ton, as | am thoroughly satisfied he

Measure. Very Respectfully,
