VICTIM OF ROBBERY
SUES FOR INSURANCE
JeWeIer Seeks to Collect Amount OF
Policy from Car ialty Conn.,
pany, but Payment Is.
Contested

In the answer of the Maryland Cas-
ualty company to the suit filed by w.
M. Kinney, a jeweler, who seeks to
collect $3442.62 on an indemnity policy
in that corporation, Kinney is alleged
to have aided and abetted the robbery
of his own show window and safes on
the night of March 16, 1907.
Kinney brought suit because the cas-
ualty company refused to honor his
claim for the amount named. He
claims his place was entered by a tall
man and a short man who opened the
safe and took a number of valuable
pieces of jewelry. AS the burglars
were not apprehended and it was sug-
gested that the robbery was an inside
job" the company refused the claim
and the suit was instituted.
The case will be resumed this morn
ing when Kinney will again go on the
stand for cross examination.

ingenious Device for Double Locking
Letter.
A new envelope made in Paris is
| proof against the thief or the med
dler who opens letter to extract or
to read it's contents and then reseals
1t SO cleverly as to hide any sign of
1t having been tampered with. ~
The new envelope is really two en-
velopes. Each is of thin paper, one
pronounced blue, the other lighter
in color and different in texture. Each
las = gummed fiap:
Tie letter is first placed in the blue
envelope, which is slightly. smaller
than the other. Instead of. sealing
this it is placed in the outer envelope
and the inner map brought outside
and gummed down on to the larger
envelope. -.
The outer flap is still unseaied. It
is much larger than the inner flap
and reaches down to good sized star
shaped opening which shows through
to the inner envelope, SO that when
the outer flap is sealed it sticks not
only to the outer envelope but also
through this opening to the inner one.
The letter is thus practically locked
and double locked. !.

What Killed the Adiutant,

A good story from the regimental
journal of the Fighting Fifth" con-
Germs Col, then Capt. FitzRoy, and
dates back to 1860. FitzRoy was pos
sessed of an air gun, and one after
noon he took shot at an adjutant., a
bird which, being an excellent scav-
enger, is protected from injury by a
fine of 100 rupees. Several people
saw the bird fall but heard no report
There was, of course, a hubbub and a
court of inquiry was ordered to inves-
tigate the birds death.
AS luck would have it, FitzRoy was
appointed president of the court, the
finding of which was duly recorded as
follows: "The court, having carefully
investigated all the evidence brought
before it, have come to the conclusion
that the bird died of sunstroke-
