San Francisco, Dec. 13.-The fact
that her husband was left-handed
may acquit Mrs. Grace Baratti. for
mer artists model and toast of
poets, painters and sculptors in
this city's gay Bohemia, Of the
charge Of having slain her hus-
band, Harry F. Baratti, song writer
and professional pianist
Only her persistent declaration
that her husband had killed HIM
self has broken the otherwise
sphinx-like silence of the woman.
Experts and physicians contradict
her, saying Baratti was shot
through the right hand and right
temple.
But further Investigation devel-
oped the fact that Baratti was left
handed, that he had unusually long
arms and that he could have fired
the deadly shots.
Mrs. Baratti, however. is still be-
ing held. for the experts declare
the bullets that killed her husband
we're fired from a distance that
makes suicide impossible.
Further than protesting her inno-
cence, Mrs. Baratti remains an
enigma to the police.

HOW RAILWAY
MAIL SERVICE
WAS STARTED

Chicage.-Believing that "the
railway mail service is the back
bone Of the postoffice department,
it remained for the late George B.
Armstrong of Chicago, known as
the founder of the railway mail
service, to conceive the idea and
put into practical use, what he call
ed "postofices on wheels, says his
son, J. J. Armstrong, prominent
traffic, engineer, living here.
1T was during the strenuous
days of the Civil war, when my IA
ther was assistant postmaster of
Chicago and when hundreds Of
pouches of mail came into the Of
fee to be sorted and dispatched"
said the son, that he conceived the
idea of eliminating this central Of
fee delay, by having experts on
mail cars sort the mail and route
it by the nearest and most direct
way.
Northwestern Makes Trial.
Soldiers at the front were clam
oring for mail The folks back
home were anxious to hear from
relatives and friends in the army,
with delay after delay caused by
congestion at the central office. In
1864. after three letters had been
written outlining his plan. Post
master General Montgomery Blair
gave my father permission to
equip baggage car, as he saw fit,
and try out the idea.
Accordingly, on the Chicago &
Northwestern, between Chicago
and Clinton, Iowa, the first mail
car, with distributing racks, manned
by experts, was inaugurated with
the advantages Of the system SO
Immediately apparent that the rail-
way mail system soon extended. to
all the leading railways. As a e.
suit, needless time and delay have
been eliminated and all mail is for
