 Recently a postoffice inspector, who has jurisdiction in the postal district in which Word now lives, learned of the shortage and without making an investigation brought about his ar rest by Deputy Marshal l.. k.

Word gave bond for his appearance and did appear before the federal court at Little Rock yes tcrday Postmaster Furth took an in- terest in the case because of the wife and small child who are dependent upon Word for Iivlihood, and after the matter was thoroughly explained to the federal grand jurors the charge was dismissed.
