AUNT BIDS FAREWELL
TO BANK WRECKER

DENVER, Colo, Aug. 2S,-The
gates Of the city Jail swung open that
sad-faced little woman might carry
words of sympathy and bid farewell
to the bank-wrecker she helped pam
per into the penitentiary."
The woman was Mrs. ]. D. Clay,
of Sayre, Okla, and the man, Coney
c. Slaughter, her nephew, facing four
more years in the Leavenworth, Kan,
penitentiary for embezzling more than
100000 from the Mercantile Nation
al Bank of Pueblo, Colo.
Il feel in my heart" she said, "that
I am partly responsible for the ter
rible position in which Coney now
stands-a fugitive convict. Myself
and my six sisters petted and pamper-
ed Coney from the day he was born,
until he decided the world was play
ground and he could do as he liked
and that there was no one to tell him
he shouldn't"
"Coney." she said, addressing the
bank wrecker, II want you to carry
back to prison with you in your heart
one thing-make up your mind to stay
there and behave and get this thing
over for good"

VALUABLE MAIL
M|SS|N c AS
PLANE LANDS
Registered Packages Fail
to Reach San Francisco;
Probe Ordered.
BY the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, Aug. 2S.-A missing
consignment of registered and other
mail, believed to have left here by air
last Tuesday, is the object OF search
between here and San Francisco. I.
Inquiry into its disappearance was
begun when G. NJ. Christensen, San
Francisco postal inspector, notified
postal authorities here that it had
not arrived in San Francisco.
Belief that the consignment was
stolen here before it was turned over
to the air mail service is held by
Christensen. Inspectors here are
holding a clerk who is reported to
have accompanied the truck which car
ried the pouch from the postoffice to
the air mail field.
The pouch from which the mail was
missing had not been tempered with
when it arrived in San Francisco, but
a list Of contents in the pouch called
for consignment which was missing.
A possibility that the consignment
may have been taken somewhere en-
route and transferred from a plane to
fast mail train also Is considered.
Inspectors here cannot estimate the
value of the missing mail until check
is made. 1t may include valuable
commercial mail sent by Chicago banks
TO San Francisco.

Immediately his arms were pinioned

Then the firing began. Two shots,
a short interval, two additional dis
charges followed by an interval and
the final shot completed the scene.
Laughing and screaming they drove

ed to result in a general investigation
of the marine guard, sent here to pro-
tect President Coolidge during his stay

Two developments marked the situa-

Captain Adolphus Andrews, COM
mander of the presidential yacht May
flower, announced that a court-mar-
tial board will be selected from the
officers of the Presidents own ship to
try Corporal Chontos and Private Kay,
the marine alleged to have been found
asleep OH duty at midnight on the
summer White House grounds.
Lieutenant Edgar Allen Poe Jr.,
iaunt commander of the marines, adj
mitted he had given "a party" to
North Shore society folk in marine
headquarters at GallOupcs Point, near
White Court, but he insisted it was
neither gay, late, nor liquor-served.
Coupled with those developments
was the report that one of POe's prom
