MRS. kTCHERLEY
AFTER PETERSON
viii Try to Have Grand Jury
lndict Superintendent OF
Asylum.

Mary Ateherley wants DR.! Peterson,
superintendent of the insane asylum,
indicted on charge of tampering WITH
her husband s mail, and she is to be
turned loose on the federal grand jury
today to do her worst. Z. S. Dis
trict Attorney Breckons wants a day
in which to draw up the indictments
that have already been found, without
being under the necessity of being in
attendance upon the grand jury, and
this affords good opportunity to give
Mrs Atcherley chance to see what
she can do with the arbiters of pub
lie morals.
Mrs Atcherley claims that she has
an opinion from the postoffiee depart
ment to the effect that the superin-
tendent of an insane asylum has no
right to open letters addressed to an
inmate of the asylum or sent out bv
him, and as she alleges that DR.. Peter
son has done this, she thinks he should
be hailed before the bar of justice and
dealt with severely.
Presenting Her Case.
The indefatigable wife of the in
carcerated doctor spent most of the
day yesterday in the offices of Deputy
United States District Attorney Raw
Inns and Judge Woodruff, presenting
her case according to her own lights.
She read most of the law books in
Mr.. Rawlins' office before turning her
attention to Judge Woodruff, whom she
importunes to give her chance at
the grand jury. Mrs. Atcherley spends
nearly all of every day lately about
the Judiciary building, where she ex-
amines law books and old eases and
prepares her own ceases. -
