A Washintfton'di&patcTf sayR a nadst sensational development of the in tigatlon of the postodice department affairs occurred just beforeihe depart- mept closed Thursday when Postmas ter General Payne announced the sum- fiBar3^ dlsTnfssal"o^ ^ErtPes N. Tyne assistant attorney general for the postofflee department, coupling with the annourtfeement the startling charge that all the papers and records in the safe of‘ the latter’s uttlce had been abstracted^by Mrs. Tyner,, wife Of the discharged oftlcial, with the as? sistance of others. . The facts are toid tersely in the letter of dismissal, signed by Postmaster General Payne, late Wednesday afteriwii^i’and made c tonight. Plie fetter !$ as fol- eral, and, moreover, insisted that the papers were ail of a private charac ter. .. The inspectors reported that Mrs. Tyner declared the papers be longed solely to them and she an nounced emphatically that she did not propose to have her papers sub mitted to the scrutiny of the fnspeo- iors. It is suspected at the department that the papers have some connection with the recent conduct of the ortice. Some weeks ago a turf investmeut concern, whose affairs were aired in court, alleged that Its operations and working methods had been sanctioned by the assistant attorney general for the postotlice department. The xhurges involving the office of the as- sistant attorney general and a lawyer, formerly^ connected with That.office, :re ventilated very generally at.that time and an investigation was ordered by they postmaster general.
