Charged With Opening Letters
in POStOffice.
TESTIMONY OF WITNESSES
Considerable Stuff of a Worthless
Nature Was Found in
His Room,

Hans Doe, the p%ostofice employee who
had a penchant for opening other peo-
pies letters and who was caught at it
a few weeks ago, had a hearing before
United States Commissioner Wood in the
United States court rooms today.
Deputy United States Attorney English
conducted the examination of witnesses
of whom there We're four, Postmaster
Irwin, Assistant Postmaster Flavin,
Postal Inspector Wood and Detective
Charles Ray. Mr.. Doe was represented
by Attorney Charles r.. Leonard, but was
not put on the witness stand.
Postmaster Irwin and Mr.. Flavin re-
lated the circumstances of finding the
letter which had evidently been opened
and resealed. Taxed with his guilt Boo
finally admitted that he had opened the
letters through curiosity.
Postal Inspector Wood said he was call
ed in after the discovery had been made
that some letters had been tempered with
and resealed. He was shown a letter
which bore every evidence of having been
opened and resealed, and asked Boo about
it. Doe said the letter had arrived UNI
SCoiSu ~ tiS pootoiiNS "HN iN ~" "P
piled some mucilage to the back of it.
For some time Doe maintained that his
story was correct, but after repeated
questioning admitted that he had opened
the letter to see what it contained and re-
sealed it. After he had made this acknoWl-
edgment the witness instructed Mr..
Flavin to call ar officer and Detective Ray
was summoned. After being locked UP
the witness made a search of Boe's room
for the purpose of ascertaining if there
was anything there to connect him with
other postoffice losses.
In the room he found a large amount OF
waste papers, samples, documents, sam
pie magazines, and a few papers address
ed to the Butte public library. He took
| possession of a pouch full of the papers
but left behind about three times as
much. The stuff had no real value-it
was called waste" around the post
ofice-and consisted of matter sem
through the mails that could not be de.
livered.
His most important find was three
packages of stamped envelopes, which
had been purchased through the post
office by different firms of the city. Al
objection to this portion of his testimony
was sustained on the ground that Boz
was charged only with opening letters
Among other things foun was a sample
case of needles. The witness went on t.
say that the only indication that none,
had been taken was the presence of al
envelope in the room, but his testimon,
on this point was not allowed.
The letters were offered in evidence
after which Doe was held in $500 bond
to await the action of the United State
grand Jury.

MINESAND MINING

The bulls and bears are playing a
merry game OF the Boston Stock Ex-
change and Parrot is the foot ball. The
most ferocious bear on the market is
Broker Thomas w. Lawson, who is con-
sidered a little copper god by the specu-
lators on change. He is at present the
greatest factor in the copper market and
can be Il bull or bear at will. However
he is against the hardest game Of his life
in his efforts to depreciate Parrot stock
for the purpose of forcing the Parrot into
the copper combine. He is merely jock
eying now for points Of advantage in the
negotiations for the transfer of the prop
erty to the Standard OIL Co. He is en-
deavorinS to secure control of it at the
rate of $40 a share. Should he succeed it
is more than probable that the stock
would advance to 500 before May. They
are having a monkey and a Parrot time
sure enough.
Parrot closed today at $43. Boston &
Montana opened at 1915, and closed at
1876. Butte & Boston opened at S95 and
closed at $95.

The Entire Force In Paris Quit Work.
No Mails Delivered Yesterday
Paris, May 18.-The entire force OF
postmen in Paris went ON strike

in the senate Of a bill passed by the
chamber of deputies TO increase the car
riers' wages. The whole postal service
of the city was tied up 5000 men being
idle and no mail even reaching the for

was emerging from the p~ostofice yard.
The police beat the strikers OF after a

stat of the employees was not such as
TO allow OF then going OF a strike, and
If the postmen did not resume work

would yield to no such intimidation
