WILLIAMS PRAISED
 FOR LONG. SERVICE Postmaster General New Con- mends Retiring Letter Carrier IN HARNESS S YEARS
Girl Injured in Collision as Man IS Held For Reckless Drivfng-CAr Leaves Road at Kelsey Corner and Crashes Pole.

Charles Williams, town carrier or Kensington. has received from Post master General Harry S. New per- sonal letter which congratulates the veteran carrier on his years of serv- Ice in connection with the resigna- ton of the local mailman from the town force.
 Mir. Williams was appointed as rural carrier for Kensington in 1901 and continued in that capacity until December IS. 1917. when he was appointed town carrier, finishing 25 years of active service in the post offices interests on December IS, 1926. Recently the daily route has proved too burdensome for the vet eran carrier and after serious ill., ness occasioned by a snow storm through which he ploughed his way despite the regulations which pro vide that no letter carrier is requir- ed to deliver mall to homes without cleared walks. he tendered his resig- nation from active service and papers were sent in to the National office for his release from service.
 Postmaster General News letter Is as follows:
 T have your request for the re- tirement from the Postal Service under the provisions of Section 1 of the Act Of July ,, 1928, to which is attached ap account of your splendid record Of service as a postal employe. beginning as a rural carrier in 1901 and continuing until December IS, 1917, whom you re- signed. being appointed as village letter carrier on April 1S. 1918, making a total of 25 years of serv- ice.
 The records of the department indicate that you have at all times rendered satisfactory and efficient service: that you have faithfully served your government, your supervisory of1cials and the many people with whom your duties brought contact. Tho service ren- dered by men of your type day after day, has caused people to consider the work of tho post otiice depart ment as an activity upon which they can depend utterly.
 T respect your accomplishments and feel it . privilege to approve your request. with the sincere hope that. in addition to the personal satisfaction which must be yours as you look back over the years of faithful service. you will find new and interesting experiences in the leisure you have earned.
 "Very cordially yours
 HARRY s. NEW
 Postmaster General"
 The signature of the letter is written. showing that the busy man in Washington thought the local post office employees accomplish ments worthy of personal atten- tion. The letter from the postal headquarters is one of Williams most treasured possessions. Local residents have expressed consider able regret at the retirement of the veteran mailman but 1t is gnerally believed that the Kensington carrier earned his rest from active duties.
 Tho substitute village carrier has not been appointed. Frank Giana is ct present taking Williams place as

en by Miss Charlotte Ethel Lee 1 negro housekeeper for the Ray monds. who was an eye witness to the fight.
 Probably the most important tes- timony expected to be adduced from the Japanese servant, the prosecu- tors indicated. will be an elaboration of Miss Mackaye's account of the conversation that passed between her and Kelly just before the latter left for Raymonds home where the fight occurred.
 Jungle disappeared the morn ing after the slugging bout. leaving q note that he was going to Japan. He was located later by the district attorneys office and since then has been kept "under cover."
 The question as to the legality of Miss Mackaye's asserted marriage to Raymond, in view of the statement Of Mrs. Florence Bain in New York that she had married the actor in 1909 and had never been divorced still is matter of dispute. Miss Mackaye testified she married Ray mond in Maryland in 1921 but a search of marriage licenses at sev- eral points in that state did not re- veal the official record of the wed- ding.
 Gilbert said he definitely had de- cided not to ask Mrs. Eain to come here to take the stand for the de- fense. From the prosecution point of view, it was stated that it made no difference to them and probably not to the defense whether the mar riage took place or if it did whether it was legal.

ALL NIGHT PARTY
 NOT UNCOMMON
This Will Be Testimony in
 Kelly-Mackaye Case

Los Angeles. May 16 R>-More the apartment of Paul Kelly, screen juvenile. while Ray Raymond. hus- band of Dorothy Mackaye. actress, was away playing the lead in a mu- sical comedy, was expected by the state today as it summoned Teno Yobu. Kelly's Japanese houseboy. to testify against his employer, who is on trial for Raymond's murder.
 Teno Yobu, otherwise known as Jungle" was scheduled to take the stand as soon as Miss Mackaye. over whose love Kelly and Raymond mixed in knuckle fight in the lat ters home. finishes her story of d- vided affections when the court re- sumes it's work at 2 p. m. The state charges the fight resulted in Ray mond's death. The defense main- tains the musical comedy star died of other causes.
 The prosecution indicated that it regards "Jungle's" story as being more SellSdtlOIldl dlltl u 6ItdtcE lIl- portance than that given by Miss Mackaye last week. when she hesi- tantly admitted that passionate love existed between Kelly and her self.
 Miss Mackaye. who with Dr. Wal ter J. Sullivan is awaiting trial on an indictment charging them with attempting to cover up facts sur rounding the death of Raymond probably will be excused after brief questioning by the defense.
 Jungle" was expected to testify concerning previous testimony that Miss Mackaye several times remain ed away from home all night and that on the mornings following was reached by telephone at kelly's apartment. This testimony was giv-
