He also went through the registered packages, scat tering them about on the floor mixing them promisctously. A box of roses was opened; also a box of Sunday school literatu re, put he had no use for these and they seem to be about the only packages left Intact. The postoflice was entered by break ing a lock of a transom, the transom being over the boxes, and the one en tered was behind a rost, which shield ed the robber fromli the front. On pipes at the side of the tran somn, on the in side, is tlie finger prints of a man. 'i'evy are very black against the White of the painted p1pe. The robber did not seem to be look ing for anything bit clothing, as noth ing iI the lock boxes was in Ihe least (tistiubied.
