LAUREN. Nov. S.-For the third
time in three months the postofice at
Laurel was entered Sunday night and
robbed. s
The robbers ransacked the office
and the Fenton store thoroughly and
stole besides considerable mail, jew
elry, pipes, stamps, etc. 1t is impossi-
BILE to tell the exact amount Of the
loot. The thieves are known to have
secured two certificates Of deposit on
the Citizens National bank OF Laurel
made out in. favor Of w. A. McIrath,
one for $1,000 and another for $1,000.
A description Of the certificates has
been wired to all the banks in<Mon-

them without being apprehended.
There is no clue to the robbers, but
the frequency with which the rob
berry has been committed leads to the
supposition that 1t must be by some
one not far away. a555

ASsAlLANT KILLS SELF
Edward w. Mors.n, Postmaster Of
New York, Wounded Ny Man Who,
Thought IL Had Grievance
Against the PostofFice Force.

NEW YORK, Nov. 8.-Po Postmaster
Edward w. Morgan, of this city, was
shot down in the strees as he was
ltlNlnt, his house IL one hundred
f,:ty-. ixth street for the post office
tl.is morning by Eric 4! B. MacSey, q
stenographer employed in downtown
law firm, who then shot and killed
himself.
The single bullet which struck Mr..
Morgan entered the side Of the abdo-
men and passed out at the left side
without penetrating the. walls. There
was no internal bleeding and there Ia
every likelihood that the wounded man
will recover
The only excuse known for the
shooting was that Mackey had COM
planned to the authorities at.the depart
ment in Washington that his mail had
been tampered with and that some one
turned out an electric light when he
was reading by It in the corridor Of
the postohlce
Mackey had received reply that
there was no evidence Of tampering
with his mail, and that the incident
Of the light was an accident. Mackay'a
employers, the firm Of Hunt. Hill and
Belts, declared that they could ac-
count for the tragedy only on the
theory that Mackey was insane.
Besides q revolver it was found that
Mackey carried dagger and slug
shot. Mackey was an Englishman, 81
years old, and he formerly was en-
ployed in Boston.
The shooting took place in the pres
ence of Miss Dorothy Morgan. the IA
year old daughter Of the postmaster,
who was accompanying him to the
subway station on her way to school.
Mackey had been pacing UP and
down the sidewalk near the corner of
Broadway and one hundred forty-sixth
street. for two hours before the shoot
ing. When Mr.. Morgan and his
daughter left their home and walked
toward Broadway, Mackey turned
down the side street and met them.
Evidently he had never seen the post
master before, for, as he met Mr..
Morgan he asked:
Are you Postmaster Morgan?"
At Mr.. Morgan's affirmative reply
Mackey drew his revolver and fred
one shot into the postmaster'es abdo-
men. The wounded man fell to the
sidewalk, and as two witnesses Of the
shooting came running up, Mackey lay
down on the sidewalk, opened his vest
and sent one bullet into his heart and
head. He was dead when the first man
reached him.
Mr.. Morgan was carried into his
home and physicians were hastily
summoned and it was found that the
bullet had merely passed through the
fleshy part Of the abdomen for eight
inches, inflicting superficial wound.
Mr.. Morgan declared that he did no
know Mackey and never saw him be
fore the shooting.

PETITIONS ? FOR BAIL
His Attorney Tells Court That His
Assets Would not Cover His Debts
and II He Gives Bail, Friends Will
Havs to Provide u.

NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-Charles w.
Morse, who two years ago was rated
as being worth more than $20,0 600.
today swore under oath that he had
not enough money or securities left
from his vast fortune to pay his debts.
This revelation was made when
Morse's attorneys appeared in the
United States circuit court of appeals
to argue for the admission of Morse
to bail Morse, who had been SEN
fenced to Is years imprisonment at
hard labor in the federal prison at At.
lanta, Ca, was not permitted to leave
the Tombs prison today, bxt an affida-
Wit made by him was read. The mo-
tion was made before Judges La
combe, Ward and Coke and decision,
was reserved. ,
A 1T had not been expected that Morse
would make the plea that he was
bankrupt, as ever since the financial
panic, which swept the greater part Of
his fortune away, he has maintained
that he would be able to adjust his
affairs to the satisfaction Of all his
creditors. "A. w. McFarlane appeared
in his behalf and talked forty minutes.
The lawyers quoted from the opinion
OF Judge Hough in refusing to grant
bail, in which Judge Hough said that
no amount Of bail would be sufficient
to assure the appearance in court Of
such a wealthy man as Morse. Mr..
McFarlane then continued:
II have an AFFIDAVIT here from
Morse himself in which he states that
he is not rich man. Mr. Morse says
that he is in q sense Impoverished and
that his assets could not pay his debts
and 1t is doubtful II they ever would.
II Morse is allowed bail his old friends
would have to provide 1t. The state
ment that he Is a millionaire is false,
and further information will be given
to the district attorney II he desires
It."
Mr.. McF'arlane then went on to say
that the only reason for refusing bail
that he could see was the fear that
Morse would run away. The lawyers
called attention to the fact that when
Morse was indicted he was ON his
way to Europe, hut he came back i'm
mediately.
In referring to the sentence imposed
upon Mr.. Morse, McFarlane termed it
