Nasty Accusations
Made Against Post
office Officials
SUICIDE SEEMS CERTAIN
Taking Of Testimony Be
comes Weariso ne TO the
Jurors.

The coroner's jury is still hearing
evidence in the Gertrude Montgomery
case and in all likelihood will be occu-
pied with the matter for another day.
The testimony of the witnesses to-
day was in the main somewhat of
repetition of that given heretofore and
the jurors showed signs of becoming
extremely wearied with the matter.
Nothing very new has been produced
i'll the way of evidence though yester
day the parasol of the girl was pro-
duced and shown to be broken The
girls hat also was produced and shown
to be badly torn between the rim and
crown A representative OF the New
Mexican later saw several parties who
claim to have seen the hat and parasol
just after they were found,
and who maintain that both were not
in the least damaged nor did either
have blood spots upon them. AS the
parasol and hat were handled consid'
erably since found and were wrapped
in the same bundle with other wearing
apparel which was partly bloody, it is
not considered out Of the way by
many, that the parasol should be
broken and the hat torn.
Make Ugly Charges.
Perhaps the nastiest feature that
has yet arisen in the case is the talk
upon the part of some individuals who
seek to implicate the postoffice Of
ficials in plot to conceal evidence
and thwart the ends of justice. One of
the attroneys who represents the dead
girls mother and sister sent an order
to the postmaster asking that
the mail addressed to Gertrude Mont,
gomery be sent to him. This the post
master refused to do as such a
proceeding is absolutely contrary to
the United States postal laws. Today
an order was issued by Judge McFie,
ordering the postmaster to deliver the
mail. The postmaster replied that the
mail had been returned to the send
ers in accordance with the postal
laws
Since it was discovered by the post
master that the three pieces of
mail addressed to the deceased. a
postal card from Detroit and a letter
from Bent, Otero county, are still at
the postoffice, having been located
just as they were being sent out OF
town. The other letter which was
from Shreveport and which is presum-
ed to have been from the deceased s
sister, Mrs w. H. Polk, had already
gone out. A telegram has been sent to
Washington asking the authorities tC
give permission to have the letter re
turned from Shreveport. That the
postal authorities merely acted in ac
cordance with the rules of the post
Office department and did their duty
is beyond question Nevertheless, Ger
tain parties insist on making g
point that crooked work has been done
and are making as much capital of il
as possible. The fact becomes more
palpable each moment that an effor
is being made to use the unfortunate
tragedy as political capital, but the
general public is now becoming nau
seated with the agitators and are
turning away with a feeling of revul
sion.

1.-TWO convicts escaped from the
Calhoun county gang last week, and
the commissioners offered $50 each
for their return. 1t is quite common
for convicts to get away from the
road gangs, and really they have
a good opportunity. We were told
that Henry Benafeld, the negro
Wife-murderer who was convicted at
the last term of court in Cuthbert,
had escaped already from the Terrell
county gang"
All of the above is true except
that there has not been a convict in
the Terrell county gang by the name
of Benafield, and that no such prison
err has escaped in Terrell county.
Ordinary Cheatham, from whom this
information was obtained, also said
that there had not been an escape

All of balloon throughout this

Excitement over a series of games
between Albany and Americas, and
30 high has the fever run that the
bHstering rays of the July sun were
ike breezes from the north pole in
comparison with the heat of many
Ri the fans. In the game Friday in
Albany Mr.. Dudley Cooke of Dawson,
Fhoy played with the Albany team,
( Fas the hero of the day. The Her.
#ld tells about it as follows:
In the fourth inning Keene, the
lTSt man up, got a two-bagger down
ne third base line, about which
lhere was some dispute with the UNI
pre-, the Americas players calling
foul ball. Keene was called safe
IN second. Davidson struck out.
Brown was safe at first on Peddy's
Error, then Newkirk few out to left
PED heene being still on second and
Brown at first. Then Cooke came to
#lne bat, and, with two strikes on
pm, met Millirons' next curve fairly
pm the nose and put it over the left
leld fence for a home run. The
crowd Surged out on the diamond,
pCEed Cooke up on their shoulders,
seIIed and cheered, and for a few
moments pandemonium reigned. 1t
was several minutes before quiet
Ceed.
dudley Cooke has certainly
proved himself both a fielder and a
nara consistent hitter. He has won
coy home in the hearts of the
alOa1y fans, and we are glad to learn
Iot Dud has come to Albany to live.
