down the final deficit to something like

ton OF the loot which tho escaping

At the last session OF Congress II
was recommended that Postmaster

Portsmouth.
When the case was first called up
this morning, Attorney Harry K. VOL
colt. counsel for the defendant moved
that it be tried by Justice Barron in
stead of Acting Police Justice Pitt. He
stated that his reasons for asking
were that Justice Pitt had written the
warrant for Sommcrs's arrest, and also
that he did not think "the mental at
titude of Justice Pitt was such that
the prisoner would be given fair
trial"
Justice Pitt resented the imputation,
but refused to have anything to do
with the case. Justice Pitt later tend
cred his resignation as assistant po-
lico justice. declaring that he did not
care to serve under the present 'ad-
mlnistration. He charged that there
was friction between himself and JUS
tice Barron. He mentioned several
cases in which he claims he was not
fairly treated.
Sommers and Miss Hirsch will be
married. They would have been mar

Ngious faith caused delay.
