Columbus, o.. Nov. 1s.--The announce
ment today that the American Teie-
phone and Telegraph Company. the
controlling force in the Bell Telephone
Companies, had obtained control Of the
Western Union Telegraph Company,
makes 1t certain to the mind OF the
local Independent telephone mon that
1t Is the Postal Telegraph Company
for which James s. Bradley purchased
the United States Telephone Company,
the Cuyahoga Telephone Company and
the new long distance telephone COM
pany OF Indiana.
AS the A. T. and T. has announced
that a large holding company IL 20
be formed to merge the telegraph and
telephone companies. 1t Is believed here
that In a short time similar an
nouncement will be made by the Postal
officials. The purchase OF the indie
pendent long distance companies gives
the Postal thousands OF miles OF new
lines in Ohio and Indiana, and makes
1t as formidable competitor OF the
Bell in the telephone as in the tele-
graph field.

OvEREND AND THE
MAN IN THE GARRE1

The Hilo Herald has the following
to say concerning DR.. Ateherley IS Man
in the Carrot:
DR.. Atcherley's reference to the man
in the attic is explained by Deputy
Sheriff Overend through his Attorney
Frank Thompson, both of them in Hilo
today, as follows:
- In September, 1901, Deputy Sheriff
Overend was present at term of the
court in Kohala. There were also at
Kohala, Chester Doyle, Judge Edings,
Frank Thompson, Palmer Woods, Frank
Woods and many other of the solid
and reputable business men of these
islands
Overend was living in cottage
near the Kohala Club, DR.. Atcherley
also having his quarters there, while
the rest of us were living at the club.
In the night time my client. Overend,
used to show evident symptoms of in
sanity, sliding down the stairs on a
couple of boards, shooting his revolver
through the roof and a few other ee-
centricities that high, beyhood spirits
are responsible for and from all of
which he has long since permanently
recovered.
CDR. Atcherley complained that
Overend was insane, so Chester Doyle
telephoned to Sheriff Andrews that
Overend was violent and reported that
he had the Sheriff s permission to take
the proper proceedings against Over
end, and it unfortunately devolved up
on me to prepare the information and
complaint against him.
ssSGranberg, who once had his jaw
broken, and was thereby prevented
from indulging in the enjoyment of
humor by laughing, presided over the
court. Frank Woods was the bailiff,
George Tulloch the stenographer.
Chester Doyle brought his prisoner,
Overend, into court handeuffed. and [
was appointed counsel for the defend
ant
sAtcherley was the first witness
called and his ability to testify was
at once questioned, also his qualifca-
tions as doctor and as no proof was
Immediately Forthcoming that he was a
legally licensed practitioner, the testi-
mony of the witness was excluded.
s'The trial lasted for three hours.
Contrary to all the evidence in the
case, my client, Mr.. Overend, was UNI
Justly found insane but there was no
Court of Appeal so we had to bow to
the decision of the jaw broken judge.
Before the court had been emptied my
client broke away from the custody of
Chester Doyle, and rushed into the
room with a revolver in each hand
which he fred into the air
'1Then there was sound of crashing
glass, and the last seen of DR.. Ateher-
ley was as he disappeared through a
window into a canefeld with the win
dow frame around his neck. It was
an impressive sight, one that I can see
as clearly today as I did eight years
ago when it happened.
'tThat accounts for The Man in the
Attic to whom DR.. Atcherley now
doubtless refers

tear of sorrow which he later drown
