LOCKED IN POST OFFICE.
Young Man Whom Clerks Forgot
Freed After Manv Hours.

NEW YORK, August 27.--Lieut. Ochter-
loney answered ring Of the telephone in
the Jamaica police station last night, and
was startled to hear familiar voice ex-
claim:

I'm locked up In this confounded old build
ing, and can't get out! This is Graft. I'm
in the post office building. Postal clerks
downstairs left for night. and, not knowing
I was writing in friends Office upstairs,
locked the front door after them, and, con-
found 1t all, III have to stay here all night
unless some one unlocks the door!'
Better look out. You'll be IN the dead
letter Office soon If you're not careful"
yelled back the jovial lieutenant; but he
sent couple of policemen to the post office
building. They tried all kinds of keys on
the heavy front door, but without success.
A curious crowd had collected to see
what the trouble was about. A rumor soon
spread that there were burglars in the post
office, and that the police were making des-
perate efforts to capture the intruders
William H. Graft, who had the misfortune
to be locked in, was busy working the tele-
phone in the Office upstairs, trying to rouse
to sit in the dark, for he had no matches.
He telephoned to some friend to come
around to the front door and pass him some
matches through the keyllole, but this was
only temporary relief.
About midnight the janitor came with the
key, and the young man was released. He
had been locked up since $50 o'clock.
