the mothers, and when Friedman g au.

New York ever saw were enacted. Rush

San Francisco, Mar. 20.-With her T.
yearold son, Harold, and her tiny baby
daughter continually weeping because
of her absence, Mrs, Frank Hitchcock,
who deserted her children in local no.

Mrs. Hitchcock is the wife Of mine

be buxom and pretty, and the police are
entertaining the theory that white slav-

rent, she may have become respondent
and committed suicide
According to advices from the wo.

Months Work Extensive.

According to Deputy Postmaster John
Farar, the articles were all stolen from
the mails during the past month, as
only GO complaints have been received
by the postal authorities so far and had
Martin been operating since Christmas,
as he claims he has, many more COM
plants would have been filed in view
of the great number of parcels contain
ed in tn echests found in the Martin
home.
From a rough estimate, it is believed
that nearly thousand dollars worth of
mail was stolen by Martin. A valuable
package belonging to o. H. Griswold
was found while a $22 Elk g tooth and
two diamond pins were also identified
this morning, Besides these valuables,
there is included number of val
liable sweater vests and about twenty.
five or thirty pair of white kid gloves
Cloth was found in large quantities
while several hundred dollars worth of
ladies suits, mems clothing and high.
priced knick.knacks of all descriptions
were found in the chests when unlocked
in the postoffiCe.
Until all the goods, or as many as
possible, can be identified by Martin
the government officials will remain in
