.[OUD'S FATE NOW
 RESTS WITH JURY
MelrOSe Man, Accused Of Mur- dering Policeman, to Know Fate

Cambridge, Mass, Jan. 26.-The ease of Clarence l.. Loud of Melrose, charged with the murder Of Police man James A, Preston of Wakefield, last April went to the jury room just before noon today.
 Judge John F. Brown of superior court took an hour in charging the jurors. Loud waived his right to ad- dress them.
 "On the evening of April 9, be- tween and 9;So o'clock" Judge Brown said. "a policeman was shot in Wakefield.
 The commonwealth has claimed that certain circumstances were the facts. The defendant claims the cir cumstances are equally explainable on other grounds. The defendant does not claim the shooting was done in self defense. He says he was not there and doesn't know anything about it."
 The issues before the jury, the judge said. were whether Preston was murdered by anybody, and If so is the defendant the murderer
 Loud was charged with Preston murder after the finding in the off cer's cap of Loud's automobile license and in Preston's notebook memor- andum bearing the defendants name and that of woman. with the nota- ton adultery" In the trial Loud testified that on the night Of the mur- der he was assaulted and robbed while making trip alone in his auto mobile.
 Judge Brown told the jurors that they were not to consider the crime noted in Preston's memorandum.
 He characterized as unfortunate the fact that all testimony of George B. Heller, formerly of Halifax, N. s., defense witness had to be stricken from the record and instructed the jury not to consider it. Heller testi- fled to having seen four men and an automobile near the spot where the patrolman's body was found.

VIOLATION OF MAILS
Postmaster Delaney Finds Packages To Contain Written Matter Against U. S. Post Office Laws. z

Postma ster William F. Delaney has found it necessary to again call to the attention of the public the fact that no letters or written material of any description can be mailed inside a package at the usual zone rate. There is an iron-clad law to the effect that any packages, containing written mat ter, must be mailed tirst-class or at the rate of 32 cents a pound, accord
 ing to the distance, and not at the zone charges. He has two packages at the office now which were found to contain letters and are being kept for more money due.
 A strict watch is being kept on all packages mailed and at any signs of written letters inside, the package is opened and additional charges of first class mail are added to be collected at the destination Suspicious looking packages such as may contain explo- sives or intoxicants, are looked for and through this method of examina- tion hundreds of bundles have been found to contain letters and mailed at gene rates instead of first class. The post office reserves the right to open any packages for investigation.
