TUSKEGEE, Jan. "a (ANP)--
Postal authorities checking over the
accounts Of Tracy Brannum, veteran
and popular postal clerk who died
by his own hand here two weeks
ago, are said to have found a con-

many friends points to the presump-
tion that, knowing the advent of Il
new postmaster meant the auditing
Of office accounts, and seeing no inn

rather than face exposure. Brannum
