Payne announced the summary dismiss

the startling charge that all the papers
and records in the safe of the latter's
Office had been distracted by Mrs. Ty-
ner, wife of the discharged official, with
the assistance of others. The postmas-
ter general states that Mrs. Tyner has
refused the demand of the government

said the circumstances in the case
would be submitted by him to the de-

developments are expected.
