stantlal fashion, In many instances,
and. even though the men are de-
priyed Of their liberty and their
rights as citizens. they were made to
feel that they still have friends and
loved ones who think OF them. Sheriff
Burns and Supt. Mcdonnell did their
share toward making 1t Merry
Christmas" ir the respective institu-
tons by providing turkey for dinner,
together with other little extras not
ordinarily included in the men,.
There are only 66 prisoners In the
iau. the smallest number In many
months. This is due partly 10 the way
cases have been disposed OF in the re-
corders court during the present term.
The judges are right up TO schedule
with their work.
Few prisoners have gone TO the
house OF correction during the PAS,
week from police court, most OF those
convicted paying their fines rather
than spend Christmas behind the bars
or. II they were unable to pay. they
have had friends or relatives raise the
money.

& Machine Co. against the Northway
Motor Co. which had been in progress
before jury In Judge Murphys room
since Dec. i, was completed Thursday
afternoon. when a verdict for $1,000
was returned for the Anderson Co.
The case has been bitterly fought, and
experts in the working OF steel from
the L. OF VI. and other places were
sworn. The costs will amount to
many times the verdict The Ander.
son Co. agreed TO make certain cast
ings for the Northway. Co. and the
aforementioned concern was to do the
machine work. The finished product,
automobile crank shafts and gearings,
did not turn out well, and the Ander.
son Co. sued for the value OF the
work done. while the Northway Co.
defended. claiming the steel was OF
poor quality. The Anderson Co. claim.
ed the steel was perfect. but that the
work done nv the Northway Co. was
defective The arguments occupied a
day, and Judge Murphy was two hours
delivering his charge.

II may be Monday night before the
Detroit postal employees get over the

preparations made by Postmaster War
rem and his heads OF departments, the
rush has been 80 much greater than
was expected that the Office has been
completely swamped for the time
being.
Mail carriers started out Friday
morning with loads as heavy as they
could carry and yet were able TO take
out not more than one-third or one
fourth of the amount assigned to their
respective routes. Every available
carrier and substitute was pressed into
service and then every possible man
on the eligible list Finally a number
OF university students and high school
boys were sworn into the service. ath-

one of the local football stars, Were
among those sworn In.

The regular clerks worked over

worked as much as - hours at Q

The tinsel from these cards has settled

.COBbLER ATTACKED
/. BY NEGRO THUGS
IN HIS STORE
INSISTS HE WAS SHOT BUT PLY
sICIANS SAY WOUNDS WERE
MADE BY BLUDGEoN-THREE
SUSPECTS ARRESTED.

Isaac Katzmann, a shoemaker. was
a victim of a murderous assault by
Negroes In his shop at No. 204 Hast
ings St, about 7:30 o'clock Thursday
evening, and is now in West Side hos
pital with painful wounds about the
head. While the wounds are or a
rather serious nature. the attendir
physicians say he has good chance
for recovery unless complications set
in. He was much improved Friday
morning. Robbery appears TO have
been the motive for the attack. but the
Negroes were frightened away by their
victims cries for help before they
could secure anything
Katzmann insists he was shot, the
weapon being held close to his head
but the doctors, while admitting that
the wounds bear some resemblance Il
bullet wounds, are inclined TO think
they wero inflicted with a blunt instru'
ment. There are no powder marks
around the wounds, as would be the
case If the shots had been fred al
close range. Neighbors OF Katzmanr
declare they heard no shots fired
while the theory that he was slugged
liz apparently borne out by the fact
that large piece OF lead was found IL
the shop near the spot where the shoe
maker was attacked.
The Negroes, whom Katzmann de
scribes as being OF middle age and
rather light in color, entered the shoT
ostensibly to buy pair OF secondhand
shoes. Katzmann started toward O
rear room, where he kept his stock
and as he reached the doorway. was
attacked from behind and knocked
down. Screaming, he ran TO the front
door OF the shop and several neighbors
came running TO his aid. The Negroes
in the meantime. escaped. Several de
tectives were soon on the scene bu
were unable to get any trace OF tho
fugitives.
Orders were given 10 all policemen
to arrest all suspicious looking Ne
