FEDERAL JURY
SHOWS MERCY
Refuses to Indict oliver P.
Kellogg, Formerly Post
master at Berkeley Town
REPUTATION SAVES HIM
c. Marchand, Old Man Who
Stole Newspaper From a
MailboX, Is Given Freedom

Because of the peculiar circum-
stances surrounding Oliver P. Kellogg,
formerly Postmaster at Berkeley, at
the time he used S164 of the Govern
ment's money for his own purposes,
the Federal Grand Jury yesterday re-
fused to bring in an indictment against
him. 1t was represented to the jurors
that Kellogg's salary was only $50 per
month, that his wife was seriously i'll
and that he used the money for the
purpose of paying doctors bills and
buying medicines. 1t was shown also
that Kellogg had repaid the sum en-
bezzled and that up to the date of his
arrest he had always borne an un-
blemished reputation. Pity swayed
the hearts of the jurors and they de-
cided that he had been sufficiently pun
ished by the arrest and the subsequent
publicity.
Sympathy also came to the rescue of

cused Of stealing newspaper from
