Dynamite
Game in His Mail
Deadly
Explosives Addressed to the Turkish Consul. Pitched Carelessly About by
the Clerks in the Post office. Stamp Marks Indistinct. It is the
Second Package of the Deadly Stuff Which Has Been Sent.
Two
sticks, or nearly a half a pound, of deadly dynamite, were carried in the mails
which arrived on the overland train Sunday morning. The treacherous explosives
were poured from the mail sack in no gentle manner on the distributing Table at
the post office station in the ferry depot and one of the clerks son afterwards
tossed them through a chute to the table of the carrier who would take them to
the destination as indicated by the address.
The
sticks of the explosive were in separate packages, and both were addressed to
George E. Hall, Turkish Consul, Parrott Building, San Francisco. They were
thickly wrapped in newspaper and the addresses were written on slips of
ordinary white note paper and pasted on the covering that surrounded the
dynamite.
About
three weeks ago a similar package passed through the post office addressed to
Mr. Hall and after it was delivered and opened it was found to contain a stick
of dynamite. As soon as the nature of the contents of that package was
discovered the post office authorities were notified and William Daniels who
delivered it was not slowing suspecting the packages that came yesterday when
they slid down the chute and landed with a bump on the table before him. The
handwriting of the addresses on the packages was the same as that on the
previous on that contained dynamite and he tenderly lifted them up and placed
them in a safe place. He cautiously tore away the wrapper at one end of one of
the packages and in the parcel was the unmistakable waxed wrapping that the
manufacturers place about the stick of powerful explosive when it leaves the
molds and is packed for commerce.
Daniels
took the packages Superintendent of Delivery Griffin and explained his fears
and for a time the Post office staff was demoralized. Several of the more
nervous employees sought safety in distance. Griffin notified the police on the
explosives were removed to the office of the Chief of Police, where the now lie
behind the heavy door of a big safe.
The
post marks on the packages were scarcely discernable, but on one of them the
State mark Mont. could be traced out and the post office employees believe the
packages were deposited in the mails in Montana.
