we warn tho reading public that there
arc no such Federal or State laws, ant
no such postal regulations. Postmaster

Of hls household knew that the killing

done, Circumstances also show that the

The suspicion that Pencil committed
suicide; Is revived BY the letter mentioned,
though 1t seems very odd that Mrs. Bur
dick should have preserved that letter.
From this circumstances, and the added
fact that It was written three months
ago, It may. be argued that she attached
little Importance to It; but Pencil must
have known Its Importance, and wondered
whether 1t had been destroyed. How
