USES MAILS TO MAKE GOOD
OLD DEBTOR MAKES 146 DOLLAR
PAYMENTS
Solution by Man Believed to Be
Beneficiary and Who Needs
the Money.

A mysterious case Of secretly making
good" through the malls for failure
to pay years ago has been brought &c
light by the post ONCE inspectors at the
Boston post office.
Since as far back as August, 1901. al
regular intervals. the Boston postmaster
has been sending with his consignment OF
dead letters to the dead letter office
number of letters inclosed in small envel-
opes, all addressed in lead pencil. In
crude handwriting, to the same person
street and number. with postage unpaid
Each of these letters, upon being opened
at the dead letter office. was found te
contain one-dollar bill wrapped in
scrap of brown paper or old newspaper
but without the least mark or sign by
which the sender might be Identified.
The number Of such letters having
reached 146, Fourth Assistant Post
master General De Graw sought the as.
sistance of the post office inspectors 70
solve the mystery as to VINO was the
sender and why none OF the letters was
ever delivered.
Owner Discovered.
By running down clue after clue it was
finally ascertained that an old Scotch
man, seventy-seven years Of age and
resident of Boston since 1871. had been
employed at the address on the envelopes
between 1904 and 1907 as q silk hatmaker.
but had been discharged in 1907, because
the demand for silk hats had declined.
He is now an object Of assistance from
a charitable society.
The proprietor Of the hat establish
ment identified him as former employe,
and also vouched for the statement that
he had in the past received a number OF
anonymous letters.
The old man, believing that message
in invisible ink was concealed on the
scraps of paper with which the dollar
bills were wrapped. had made every effort
in the past, by means Of chemicals and
otherwise, to solve the mystery, but with
out success. When he was told that
there were 146 letters containing $146 In
the custody of the dead i,tter office
which probably belonged to him he was
overjOyed. He states, as a curious COIN
cidence, that years ago he made silk
hat for a man who never paid for 1t,
although promising to do SO later, and he
is inclined to believe that the man is
now trying to make good In this mys-
FERROUS way.
Il don't want the letters and the money
if there is any doubt that they are in
tended for me-" he said, but my, how
handy it would come in at this time.

THE CONDITIONS COMPLIED WITH

On SUNDAY morning The Tribune
presented some facts in the new polyg-
amv caso of Walter G. Lyman, prcsi.
dent of the San Juan stake, who
unlawfully married Lucy Halls, the
daughter of his first counselor. And
in this connection VIC would like TO
present proposition or two to Elder
Joseph T.. Taylor, who recently offered
reward of ono thousand dollars for
evidence in any such case.
OF course, Mr.. Taylor displayed some
adroitncss ia naming conditions under
which his offer should be taken; but
we submit that in tins Lyman case
The Tribune has complied with these
conditions satisfactorily TO any reason
able person. Briefly stated, Mr. Tay-
lor proposal was that The Tribune
- furnish the names, dates, and places
where and by whom the ceremony of
plural marriage has been performed
since the issue Of The manifesto in 1890
with the knowledge, sanction, and ap-
proyal of the president of the Mormon
church-UE BEING THE ONLY ONE
! WHO CAN GIVE SUCH SANCTION. -
This new plural marriage was be
tween Walter c. Lyman and Lucy
Halls, and the ceremony was performed
| by Apostle Matthias j.. Cowley. There
arc the names. The place was Mancos
Colorado. Tho marriage occurred
four years ago. as near as we can dis
cover; and inasmuch as il was not
known until after il had occurred and
| the parties thereto would conceal the
exact time, il ought 10 he accepted
| that we have produced the date ncaI
enough. Besides, there is Mr.. Cowlcy s
statement, made later on when he was
asked 10 perform another such ccrc
mony, that it "might have been all
right a year ago. Four years age
was about fifteen years subsequent tc
the issue of the manifesto; so that
condition is complied with. As to the
ceremony having been under the ap
prUval of the president of the church
