Dolan sleeps there unguarded.
Neither Denny nor Dolan has eaten

They have a special cook who pre-
pares their meals and they entertain
their friends in their room without the
slightest interference on the part of
any of the prison authorities.
When the correspondent of the Star

them in the best of health.
For Gods sake don't say anything
about u.s." pleaded Dolan, when asked
about privileges he is enjoying.

AN INJUNCTION REFUSED
Mail Now Held In the ST. LoBis Poas
Office VIII he Returned
Marked .'Frandulent."

st. Louis, July 20.-Judge Smith Nc
Pherson refused the Injunction asked
by the Lewis bank against Postmaster
Wyman of this city to restrain him
from carrying out the Instructions in
the fraud order issued by Postmaster
General Cortelyou.
He also set aside the temporary re-
straining order. issued a week ago, UNI
der which the postmaster had been
compelled TO hold the Lewis mail in
the local Office instead of returning It
to the senders, which he is required 60
DO by the fraud order, and which he
will now resume, marking It "fraudu-
lent"
In his opinion, Judge Mcpherson
said, in part:
"Knowing only the allegations of
this bill, 1t is strange to me that
any Intelligent person could be
found who would invest a dollar in
this hank; and a prudent and hon.
est bank examiner would never, on
the Information conveyed in tiiis
bill, make n report indorsinS suc
n bank"
The main decision relied upon by
Lewis attorneys was a Kansas City
case, decided by Judge Amidon. in
which it was held that a court has the
right to review the decisions Of the
postmaster-general.
Judge Mcpherson held that, as this
case had been appealed to a higher
court, it could not be considered to be
the law by him when there wero many
cases decided by the higher courts
holding the o~nnnsite view.
