The Hartford Courant calls attention
to an interesting point back OF all this
Chadwick business that apparently
has escaped the attention it is entitled
to. perhaps because OF the StupendOus
dimensions of the swinole Itself That
point is that there has been a pot rf
money got by this game and nobody
seems to know whore it has gone.
Who has been in on the divide? II the
expense account of the woman could
be discovered and it could be found
who had been living on her as she has
been living on others. that would be
mighty interesting reading. Her
whole audacious scheme would have
failed II common sense had been ap-
piled to the case. The reason why this
was not done is the key to the stu
alton. Presumably it lay in the fact,
or the promise. Of share in the pro-
ceeds.

A case recently before the New York
court emphasizes the danger OF Gus
tom common in every city in the coun-
try. A man was seen to remove
package from the top of mailboX,
presumably with the view OF removing
the uncanceled stamps. He was ar
rested for robbing the mails. but later
released and rearrested on another
charge. It was shown that, while rob-
bing the mails is a well-defined and
serious crime. stamped package
placed on a mailbox has not been
mailed and is, therefore, not under the
protection OF the federal government.
To steal such package is larceny, but
in such case the plea of contributory
negligence would lie against the sender
and not against the postal department
The lesson is particularly valuable in
the holiday season. when mail matter
is left on the top of boxes presumably
with the idea that it is safe in charge
Of the federal authorities.
