Postmaster C. E. Murphy, desires
to call atentiou to the practice of
some of the patrons of rural free de
livery of placins loose coins In their
boxes each time they desire to dis
patch letters instead of supplying
themselves with postage in advance

The practice imposes undue hard-

requests that patrons provide them

New' York, Jan. 28.—Attorney Lit
tleton this morning announced that
ho would begin the summing up for
tho defenso In the Thaw trial tomor
row. Jerome says it will only takir
the prosecution three hours to sum
up. Judge Dowling’s charge will
probably beglu Thursday and tho
case may go to the Jury Thursday at
noon.
The critical pare of the Thaw trial
is close at hand and the next day or
two will undoubtedly bring about sur
prises held by both the defense and
tho prosecution. It la said that the dis
trict attorney has several surprises
up his sleeve. It Is understood that
he is waiting for the defense to make
its last contention of insanity, and he
wll then spring testimony of alienists
with the idea of discountenancing all
tho evidence thus far submitted. If
Abe Hummelt is too sick to come to
the court room, Judge Dowling and
the attorneys will go to Blackwell’s
Island this afternoon to secure the
lawyer’s ‘testimony, which will then
be reafl la court.
