CONVICT ATTACKS
POSTAL INSPECTOR
Verdict of Guilty in Perjury Case
Enrages Prisoner; Clubbed
Into Submission

LOS ANGELES, June 2.-Upon hear
ing verdict Of guilty rendered against
him today Orlando f. Altorre, former
postoffice clerk, accused of perjury and
the theft of $4,000 from a registered
package, attacked Postal Inspector
OConnell in the United States court
room. OConnell had been the chief
witness against him. Altorre was
dubbed into subsection and then hand
cuffed to prevent further violence.

charge. The postal authorities main
tain that the prisoner was a negro

charge of having distracted $4,000
from package mailed by Los An
geles bank.
