DEFECTIVE STAMP BOOKS.

Complaints have reached the post
Office department at Washington that
the postage stamps in some of the
stamp books adhere to the paralfn
paper. This is due to the contractors
mistake in using a quantity of paraifin
paper, the quality of which was not up
to the standard. This has been cor
rected, and no defective books are now
issued.
Postmasters are authorized to redeem
from the public all such defective books
at the full value of the books and the
stamps contained therein; that is one
cent should be allowed for the book in
addition to the value OF the stamps.

slept TO within a half hour before he
was led TO the scaf0ld. His neck was
broken by the drop.
The crime for which DOtson paid the
extreme penalty of the law today was
one unique in criminal annals. Dotson
was serving a life sentence for the
murder Of Eugene CulIinane an old
placer miner of Washington guIch.
Cullinane was said TO have secreted
in his cabin vast wealth as the result
Of his mining, and this DOtsOn is sun
posed to have been after Cuninane
was ambushed and shot down near his
h6me- Dotson's father, a neighbor of
Cuilinane, was one Of the principal
witnesses against young DOtson at the
trial
James Macarthur was Dotson's cell
mate in the penitenUary. and with him
DOtEon plotted the crime for which he
died. Macarthur was serving a short
term, and upon his release from prison

the body a confession declaring that
the elder DOts0n had murdered Guilt

the crime. This confession, it was ex-
pected, would free Dotson. Dotson

governor Tor clemency, declared that

whereby Warden Conley was to be I
killed by Macarthur in a plan for gen

DOtsOn declared Macarthur alone was
responsible for the murder OF both his
father and Cullinane. Dotson also

were found near Central park in 1900.
