the inspector-First Blood For
Norton.

T. C. Norton, the Cheyenne attor-
ney, who was arrested some time ago
charged with having used the United
States mails for fraudulent purposes
has scored a victory over the post
ofice inspectors, without having turn
ed a hand, says the Cheyenne Tribune.
The inspectors In the case have been
defeated, through the determination
Of the officials in the dead. letter office
not to deviate from the rules Of the
department. Much evidence might
have been collected against the lawyer
had not the employees Of the dead let
ter Office in Washington announced
that they would not allow any Of the
mail addressed to the alias under
which the lawer is supposed to have
been operating, to be sent to the in
spectors to be used as evidence against
Norton.
Since his arrest Norton has received
much mail addressed to Mabel Dundas,
none of which he has taken from the
postofice. AS q result, letters accum-
ulated until his box. filed and the In
spectators gave orders that it be for
warded to Washington. At the same
time the dead letter once was request
ed to return the letters to the inspec-
tors. a. they wanted to use them as
evidence.
The reply came Saturday. The dead
letter ONCE ofacials informed the
postofice inspectors that the business
Of the dead letter once was to return
the letters to the writer's, If possible,
and not send them back to the inspec
tors to be use as evidence in any
cases against offenders Of the United
States postal laws. The inspectors
have been depending to q large extent
ON these letters as evidence, and the
reply received from the dead letter Of
fee was received with chagrin at the
Denver once, which is directing the
case against Norton. The inspectors
claim that they already have a pre-
ponderance of evidence against Nor
ton, but admit that they hoped for q
favorable reply from the office in
